i had two kidney stones last year and I think it might be happening again but I’m not sure.
Last year, the pain came out of nowhere and sent me to the hospital because I thought my appendix had burst. Turns out it was stones. I was given a shot and an rx for something and told to go home and ride it out. I don’t have to tell you guys how much it hurts, it was a 9.9/10 for me on the pain scale.
Anyway, for the past few days I’ve been having some dull throbbing pain on the same side as my stones last year and I don’t know if that means it’s acting up again because I don’t remember what I felt like last time. I had just had major abdominal surgery so I was on a lot of painkillers and any pain I would have had I would have dismissed as healing from surgery.
I know I can’t do anything if more stones are floating around but I’d like to have a heads up. So, for those of you who have had them more than once, did you notice dull pain in the days leading up to the flare or relapse or whatever the term is or did it hit you out of the blue?
