Mother is poorly again :-(

[Guest guest]

we are seeing our endo today, hopefully he can enlighten us with what the

hospital is up to... she was in great pain two weeks ago it had been going on

for some days already, took her to AE they did ct scan and told us no kidney

stones, it was just a bad back!!!! got a letter with three appointments a couple

of days later, ultra sound, xray, and cystoscopy. I couldnt attend with her, so

dropped her off. All she knows is they told her they think she has a kidney

stone, but they are doing nothing appart from painkillers which we had to change

for stronger ones then even stronger ones again. She now has an appointment for

4th March for a look at her bladder, then another for the 16th for another ct

scan and to see the consultant. I rang the hospital and they told me the usual

wait was 16 weeks. EEkk my poor mum also has to have a growth biopsied next

wednesday from the underside of her tongue.

I am knackered from all her appointments.

My husband has suffered from kidney stones in the past. Even the tiniest is very painful. The best thing she can do is to drink copious amounts of water, to help it pass through. It will be painful but it comes out and the pain goes (like having a baby). If the stone was bigger they would have seen it in the first place, which indicates it could be very small. My husband's was smaller than a grain of sand but the pain was terrible. She may have more than one little stone so will have to keep drinking water to flush them all out until the pain has gone. The pain is out of proportion to the size of the stone.

I remember millennium night, we were supposed to be going to a dinner and dance, but I ended up chatting to someone on the computer at midnight whilst my husband was writhing around on the bed in agony with a kidney stone.

At least if you mother can pass the kidney stone/s it will ease the pain. Hopefully there is no problem with the other tests she is having.

Lillian, it was big enough for them to show my mother on the screen, I think the

junior in A & E just missed it. They sent her an appointment throught the post and

put her under a consultant without us even knowing. my mother has had this

before and was told she had wind, ans was left without pain relief one of the

other times she was wriggling on the floor begging my dad to knock her out. I

wonder if this is why she always has blood in her urine and so do I, i thought

once before a few years ago i had a stone, but was not sure as i had gallstones

as well at that time. But now i am wondering, i too was wriggling around but it

did not last as long went to the loo and it stopped. I honestly believe he just

missed it being junior. They told her it at the time is in her back next to her

spine. The endo today has her notes he is a lovely man and i am sure he will

enlighten us.
