Could my kidney stone have gotten bigger over the past 3 months? Does passing kidney stones hurt?
For the past 3 months I’ve been going to the doctor because of lower back pains, my abdomen hurting, and constantly getting the chills. The first couple of months the doctors couldn’t detect any kidney stones with x-rays and the ultrasounds but there has always been blood in my urine every time they’ve tested me. Now my primary doctor is saying that the urologist I went to put a note saying that I had kidney stones which he didn’t mention to me. So now it’s been 3 months since I’ve been going to the doctors for this. If I have kidney stones I think I would’ve felt it if I passed any but I haven’t so I’m thinking that the kidney stones I might have may have grown in size. I don’t have the best diet and I know I don’t drink nearly half as much water as I should. How can my kidney stones be removed if they’ve grown over the past three months? Do they do it surgically or do they do the shockwave to break it down so that I can pass it? And does it hurt when you pass kidney stones even after they break it down?
yes i went to a doctor, i’ve been going since November. i went to the doctor today and i’m going to the urologist on the 23rd. chill.
if you have kidney stones they could have grown in size i dont think you have passed them as you would definetly know you were passing them! i had the same symptons as you once really bad pains in the side and i would get that cold id start shaking it ended up being a bad kidney infection. If it is stones you need to be treat with shockwaves then i dont think you will have to pass it.I definetly would get the doctors to sort it though as i once had to take someone to hospital who passed a kidney stone and he was in agony although he was too late for treatment.
Yes it could have gotten bigger but it could have gotten smaller too.Passing kidney stones can hurt but that doesn’t happen always.
Go and see a doctor.
