Ooh that sounds painful.
Hope your daughter feels better soon Kath.
My brother had them,went into hospital for a few days,
usual tests/scans.
His were dissolved,so he was able to pass them easier.

My Hubby has had several stones in the kidney, the various things they do is try to shatter it so it would pass out in her urine, they use an ultrasound thing to check stone and where exactly it is. To shatter stone they can put in a stent and use a lithotripter (spelling) machine to shatter it..

Hello Kath - poor girl, l do hope she gets better soon -

Kath, hope Abby gets a good nights sleep. Bob says he really does feel sympathy for her!

Jane - ooh! - sounds soooo painful *winces*

Thanks for all your thoughts. Abby has just rang me and they've started her on Oromorph which is a type of Morphine.
Hopefully she will get a good nights sleep with it

I have mentioned the bottled water to her, as she drinks a lot of it - will have to make do with tap water from now on.

She's told me about elderly lady in opposite bed, who has complained because she doesn't have a kidney stone!!

Abby will quite happily give her hers!

She's hoping they'll let her home soon, as she misses her 10 month old little boy Callum (who is also missing his mum)
He's here with me, have just managed to get him off to sleep, and hopefully he'll go through the night.

You could well be right, although it might well been "I couldn't possibly have made one of those earlier!:"

Hi Kath,
Son had is kidney stones removed by laser 3 weeks ago and he went back to work next day. He was a bit sore but fine.
Now has to wait to get other side done in about 10 weeks.
Good luck to your daughter hope that she if fine very soon.

My OH had them when we lived in the sherry region of Spain,where the ground is white and chalky,so a lot of locals suffered with kidney stones.
He went to hospital several times,and one time had to stay in for a week,on a drip.and I had to have the next bed!
The doctor there would not laser or operate,as he wanted it to pass naturally,and every visit took an xray to check.
One day we were in a bar,talking to locals,and the conversation got round to kidney stones,and this young chap said"make an infusion of the plant horse's tail,and that will get rid"
Deciding to go to the herbalist,instead of searching in the fields,we went in and asked for horses tail.
The herbalist said"You've got kidney stones"and gave us a packet of the dried herbs to make an infusion.
Instead of just putting boiling water on the leaves,I decided to boil a litre of water in the pressure cooker with the herbs to get the most out of the concoction.
I strained the liquid into a jug,and made my OH drink a litre every day,which he wasn't very keen on,but he did persevere.
In just over a week his stone had gone,after over 2 years of occasional excruciating pain,so these home remedies do have their uses!
He has never had a problem since,but I still have some of this herb in the house!

Hi Kath, earlier this year my hubby had a kidney stone, and whereas usually he has a very high pain threshold, he couldn't keep still during an attack.
One of the treatments he was given, of which he still has a stock, is Voltarol suppositories,(sp), the active ingredient of which is Diclofenac Sodium BP.
When at hospital A&E, he was given Morphine, but back home whenever he felt an attack coming on, he used one of them each time, and literally within minutes things had calmed down.
I've just told him about your daughter, and she has his every sympathy! :-(
One thing Bob was told was DO NOT DRINK BOTTLED WATER, as it contains lots of calcium, which encourages the stones.
Hope she passes it soon.

Jane, just read your posting. When you saw it, did you say "here's one I made earlier.........."? lol (must have been painful, you poor soul!)

Hi Kath,

I hope your daughter gets better soon and is pain free.

I hope she gets sorted out quickly too...............poor thing must still be feeling poorly.

Hope she gets better soon

Hi Kath

Yes, I have and the pain is almost as bad as giving birth!

Last time I had a problem was over 20 years ago and they were "zapped" under general anasthetic, but I believe things have move on since then. I had problems for around 3 years and then it just "went away", and hasn't happened since.

She is definately in the right place and will get sorted. It seems to be a random thing, a build up of calcium, I asked if there was anything I could do to stop it from happening again and was told that in some cases drinking lots of water works and in some cases it doesn't. So, basically not much you can do to prevent it happening again, really. Having said that my last "attack" was, as I said over 20 years ago and no problems since.

I'm sure it will be a simple procedure to get it sorted and I'm sure once it's been "passed", she will be fine and home within a couple of days at the most.

Send her my love and hope she is well again soon. I was presented with mine in a small bottle, now I wonder what I did with it...........

Jane


I hope she gets well very soon
