| My Hubbie Has Kidney Stones & Surgery on Tues.! My husband has a big kidney stone, about 6-8mm and now the doctor said that he probably won't be able to pass it himself. They took xrays and the stone has hardly moved, it is still way up high just out of the kidney. They are going to go in there and put a stint and use a laser to break up the stone. Has anyone gone through this or had any experience with it? What is he in for?

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Sorry to hear that. I had small stones a few months back and that was painful enough. My Dad had the lithotripsy done on his and it worked. Good luck to your husband

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | The stones can cause so much pain that anything is an improvement. If they can break them without having to do the actual kidney surgery, recovery is much faster. Sending prayers for you both.

| Thanks for your prayers and good thoughts!! I actually probably need them because my hubbie is such a Drama King when it comes to pain!! He'll be a big baby and run me ragged!! Last time he was sick I gave him a bell to ring and that's all I heard all day!! I know better this time, no more bells!!

| OMG! Poor hubby. About 3 years ago on the morning of my LSAT, I woke up to the most intense pain I had ever felt. It was so bad I ended up curled up on the cold floor in my dorm room being sick in a trashcan. Two friends in my dorm took me to the hospital in my pjs. They diagnosed me with kidney stones and told me there was nothing they could do for the pain. The doctor gave me some medicine to help me sleep and told me to drink tons of water and sleep through it. I hurt like that for 6 days constantly until I finally passed the stones. The pain NEVER went away during those 6 days. The only thing that got me through it was sleeping. Needless to say I haven't had another Coke since. So tell your hubby I know how he feels and give big hugs from me!

| So sorry to hear of this. I worked as a volunteer in the recovery room of our hospital, and I can tell you that the people who had their stones broken up by laser did very well afterwards. I almost think that is easier than having to pass a large one on your own. Sending good wishes for a speedy recovery.

| I had kidney stones a couples of years ago. It woke me out a dead sleep on a Sunday morning. I ended up going to the ER vomiting and hunched over in severe pain. After confirming that I had a 4 mm stone with a CT scan, I was given morphine, something for nausea and sent home with an appt to see a urologist. The urologist gave me antibiotics, told me I would probably not pass the stone and scheduled cystoscopy and lithotripsy for the coming Thursday. I went to work and just took my pain meds. The day of surgery I had an x-ray to confirm the placement of the stone. Then after waiting around most of the day I finally had my surgery. It wasn't bad at all. No stitches or anything like that just a small spot on my back where they did lithotripsy. As soon as I woke up the pain was gone. The doc told me to finish taking antibiotics, strain my urine because I would be passing tiny particles of stone and come back in a week to have the stent removed. I thought having the stent removed was going to be painful but it wasn't. I had another x-ray and the doc told me I still had tiny stone particles in my kidney. He told me to do this maneuver every night where I'm practically standing on my head and have someone firmly slap me on my lower back to jar my kidney and help the stone particles pass. He told me to drink lots of water, limit my caffeine intake and that once you have a kidney stone it is likely that you will have another at some point. Needless to say I drink tons of water whereas before I would drink 1-2 cups of coffee a day and 1 glass of tea at night. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me. Good luck.
