Default I think I have kidney stones....update post 17

I woke up this morning with pain, kinda like I hadn't eaten in days. Its come and gone all day. Its in my back and side and up....

I am still peeing though. We can't really afford for me to go to ER. I mean if it gets worse or I have to go we obviously can. Dh kinda wants me to go now because he thinks if I'm feeling any pain it must be horrible, he thinks I superman

Anyone have kidney stones before? If the pain doesn't get too bad could I wait until Monday? If it gets worse then yeah I'll go, but right now its like really bad gas (which honestly I thought that's what it was, but its not bubbling or anything gas usually does...and it hasn't gone away)

Should I just drink tons of water?

I know this sounds like I'm playing fast and loose with my health, I'm not I don't feel that bad just bad enough I've taken real notice.

Thanks

Drink lots and lots of water. Sometimes lemonade or beer helps.

Default Re: I think I have kidney stones....

I have chronic kidney stones and I usually wait until I have unbearable pain for a couple of days, or if I start throwing up and can't keep hydrated.

IME and from what I've read that doesn't really sound like typical kidney stone pain though. Most kidney stone pain starts in the back-usually more stabbing in nature and radiating to the side and lower abdomen-not upward, and I've never heard anyone mistaking it for gas. Do you think there is any chance it could be a gallbladder attack?

Lightofmine Thanks so much for your experience.
gallbladder...maybe.... though I'm not in the at risk category (i'm 28)

It is stabby, from what I read it seems to be pain in typical places. I'm not a gassy person so maybe I'm wrong, mostly the pain reminds me of bad hungry pains you get from a few days without food. My Dad gets these, which is why I though of them.

Right now I'm getting chills, like head to toe goose bumps, its 72 in my house (but its kinda neat I've never seen my calf have goose bumps before). I read that mean they are moving along and the pain is now centrally lower back...

I don't know what else it could be

Default Re: I think I have kidney stones....

Hmmm ...


BTW, I am in no way trying to play doctor, just guessing along with you

FWIW I had my gallbladder out at 19. It seems pretty common for females after they have babies too. I can think of several of my friends who had gallbladder issues before they were 30. The only reason I keep mentioning it is because you mention the full-feeling stomach and some gassy-type pains, and the way it moves upwards.

A kidney stone should make your urine darker from the blood (you might be able to see spots of blood or it could just be microscopic making it orange-ish).

If you think it could be a kidney stone I would drink as much as possible to try to flush it out. Waiting a few days to see if it passes on its own probably won't hurt anything. My doctors give me 4 weeks as long as nothing is obstructed.

praying whatever it is goes away soon on its own.

I'd guess gall bladder too. I had mine out at 22.

Do you have a fever?

Does it feel tender to press where your gall bladder is? Liverish area?
