Iam confused and worried all at the same time. I cant seem to get an answer that I feel is suitable from the Doctors I have
seen. I have NO history of stones, and the 1st one popped up on 10/08, only 2mm but was blocked and I was told would pass by
itself. Well I was still having dull lower back pains and discomfort in my abdomen, so had another CT in March. the 2mm
stone grew to 6mm, and I also had a 3mm and a 4mm. Went to a urologist and he said that they are not blocking anything so
this shouldnt be causing my pain. okay, so meanwhile Im dealing with what feels like back labor at times,, and in June went
to urgent care center, had blood in urine...had yet another CT, Doctor read results as multiple kidney stones, and sent me to
a Nephrologist, where he said that the stones are embedded in my kidney wall. the report showed about 6 stones that varied
in size from 5mm or less. But I explained that I am usually having this aching, throbbing like pain in my lower back area,
where my kidneys are....so he wants to run lab work..Meanwhile no one is answering my ?'s. If these stones are just
sitting there, obviously they are increasing, so what can be done to remove them, besides wait to pass stones that are not
going to pass on their own. And to top it all off, I am having problems urinating. When it feels like I really have to go,
i have to sit there for a few minutes and kinda push for the urine to come out. No burning, cloudiness or anything like
that. can you please give me some better insight to my problem?
