Kidney stones

Fishing has been put on hold once again. Went to the emergency room Sunday because a stone started moving. I've passed one once before but it concluded in less than 24 hours. This one is being stubborn and I get attacks everyday. No way I'm going fishing . Its a 2mm stone and may take up to six weeks to pass all the way through. Theres a second one still in the kidney biding its time. Nothing can be done. I have some pills but they dont give a lot of relief. Fishing has been good too.

Doesn't sound fun. Hang in there. The fish will be waiting for you when the stone is passed.

Been there and done that over 60 times, passed them all. Several were 6 - 7mm boulders. Azo & Flomax really help me pass them. A hot tub can give you some relief from the pain.

60 times. I feel for you.Whats the average time to pass one?

I have flomax but my prostate was removed long ago, so dont know if that will help or not.

I've pass some after a few hours of discomfort and had a 6mm take two excruciating weeks, but most take 2-5 days. The Flomax helps me pass them and my prostate is intact and normal. I believe it helps dilate all the plumbing. I only take it when I have a stone tearing it's way through. The Azo will help with the damage the stone does to your kidney, ureter, and urethra.
