my friday night in the hospital
Yesterday I was having horrible back pain and period like cramps with some
irregular contractions thrown into the mix. So when my neighbor got home she decided to take me to L&D triage (could we get a TV, please??) My urine sample had protein, ketones and blood apparently. Eventually I got an ultrasound to rule out kidney stones and to check baby and everything looked fine. And a shot of crack (Terbutaline).. but now the doctor on call is saying he thinks I passed a kidney stone and that's why there was blood and stuff in my urine. Everyone I've ever known who has had kidney stones has been in excruciating pain, and while my back pain was bad, I wouldn't call it excruciating by any means. Is it really possible that I passed a kidney stone without the horrible pain associated with it? |

my friday night in the hospital
Is it really possible that I passed a kidney
stone without the horrible pain associated with it? I think it depends entirely on the size of the stone. I had one a couple years ago, and at first I mistook it for menstrual pain. I think it is possible to not have the horrible pain, as long as the stone is small enough. As it turned out for me, I ended up taking myself to the hospital because I didn't know why I could have been hurting so much. It got so bad that once the ER doc was *finally* able to get around to getting me some pain medicine I told her I loved her. They told me at the cat scan that the stone was about 3 mm. I guess, much bigger than that and they have to use an ultrasound technique to break it up. I'm glad everything turned out okay for you. --Jodi |
