Guest guest Posted September 17, 2001 Report Share Posted September 17, 2001 Steve, I had Kidney stones from the Atkins Diet The lithos...well mine were on a mobile lithotripsy van.They give you Versade IV to put you in la la land.The lithos after a few of them.I was having them an average of 2 months.The 1st few lithos, were not that bad.... just feels like a rubber band snapping you on the back or stomach.But After several,my kidney was a bit weaker and I bled more after with each one.I had to take pain medication after the lithos( the last ones ).It was annoying after the procedure itself.I have not had one in a while.... thank goodness... but if I don't drink alot of water..I have pain in my kidney at times.Just take an advil.But litho beats having a stone and UTIs and staying on Levaquin. Thanks, In South carolina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 17, 2001 Report Share Posted September 17, 2001 My stones subsided when I stopped taking in so much protein...actually oxallates when I was on the Dr.Atkins diet. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
