Hope you are feeling better soon. Amazing how times have changed...when my mother-in-law had kidney stones 15 years ago they kept her in the hospital for two weeks until she had passed three stones. Still am not sure which is best (and we did talk her into throwing them away last year when they downsized into an apartment).

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2002 Report Share Posted September 13, 2002 Mark, So sorry to hear about the kidney stone. Hope it passes quickly Hello all......Today has been a painful day, but not because of my pancreas.....I just got back from the ER and I have a Kidney stone......It is a good amount of pain, but I had always thought that passing a stone is one of the worst pains you can get. It isn't even close.....It does hurt quite a bit but only when it is on the move......I haven't passed it yet, but hopefully it will happen pretty soon...All I can say is, atleast it isn't my panc that is hurting that caused the ER visit I hope this finds you and your well Mark E.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2002 Report Share Posted September 14, 2002 I went in her bedroom and got 2 Excedrin. Went back in to the kitchen to fix me a glass of water, got the glass out, put the ice in it. Went to pour the water and I couldn't find my pills. That is because i put them IN THE ICE! Oh well just another case of cerebral flatuance. -SC LOL, ! Reassuring to know that someone else has these momentary cerebral episodes! Yesterday I was unpacking groceries and talking to Austin at the same time. I put the liquid dishwashing detegent in the refrigerator and his container of Hi-C underneath the sink! :-) Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2002 Report Share Posted September 15, 2002 Mark, Hope that you feel better soon. I just acquired a rather large kidney stone that is too large to pass and is stuck in the right kidney. I will probably have surgery on it in february. Too busy to deal with it right now unless it acts up. But my kidney doc said to saty away from xtra salt. Juat thought that I would give you a littel tip to perhaps prevent another one in the future. IN addition, you need to at least urinate 2 liters of fluid a day to keep the kidneys flushed.Take care and I hope your stone hits the bottom of the soon. Listen for the ker- plunk sound and then praise GOD that it is over ! ( smile !) Take Care, Lily > Hello all......Today has been a painful day, but not because of my pancreas.....I just got back from the ER and I have a Kidney stone......It is a good amount of pain, but I had always thought that passing a stone is one of the worst pains you can get.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2002 Report Share Posted September 16, 2002 , My mom's story was similar to yours. After several bouts of excruciating pain she finally went to the ER. She was told she had one small kidney stone. Don't worry it will pass. She went to the urologist the next day. He looked at the x-rays and told her that she had 3 large stones. Each one way too big to pass on its own. She also had to have a stent for a while and said it was miserable. RE: Mark Mark: OK, i wasn't going to share this but sicne everyone else is telling their kidney stone stories I will tell mine.- At least the last one. I had back pain and noticed bright blood in my urine. THe stone was seen on x-ray, but I was told it was small and would pass on its own.- Drink lots of water, strain your urine. So I did, problem is 2 days later I awoke with excruciating pain. Back to the doc. this time was told that the " small " stone had obstructed. They did a cysto and went in after it. broke it up and what they didn't get, I eventually passed. Trouble is I had to have a stent to keep the ureters open. For 2 weeks. this was much worse than the stone. It caused major bladder spasms to the point I could barely walk. The only way I could function was with B&O suppossitories ( Belladona & Opium). Now I am told I have 2 more, one in each kidney but they are up high, not causing any problems and should pass on their own.- Yeah right, I've heard that one before. I hope you have better luck with yours. Having to deal with the pain of kidney stones on top of the CP stinks. Best of luck to you.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2002 Report Share Posted September 21, 2002 , I'm not sure which your msg was meant for but I'll answer in case it was for me. I do not have chronic panc (or so they say) I have recurring acute panc. I was doing absolutely wonderful with my health and energy level at the highest I can remember when I was hit in mid-july with acute panc. I've been in the hospital six times since then and haven't fully recovered. I'm seeing a GI surgeon who specializes in biliary surgery on Oct 21st. For now I mostly take lortab 5 and phenergan for my pain and nausea. I have both 25 mg phenergan tablets and suppositories. I was taking Lortab 10 at first but now I mostly stick with the lortab 5, although sometimes I do need two to keep the pain at bay. I also have some mepergan capsules which are demerol and phenergan together. I'm not sure what the mg amount of each is. I don't have many of those left and the doctor told me he cannot call in demerol over the phone so I'm saving them in case I have a really bad attack. W. Re: chicken What do you take for pain and nausea on a daily basis and the dosages please?
