I have a kidney stone. went to the emergency room and doc told me its about 5mm and it should pass on its own.. it just left the kidney. he prescribed me arthrotec 75 75-02mg for the pain and sdz-tamsulosin cr 0.4mg to hlep the stone make its way out. Since i have been taking these meds, not only to i have major pain on my side form the stone ( pain meds doesn;t seem to work) but now i have major major pain in the lower abdomen aswell. this has been going on for 2 days. Could it be the meds?
Pain from passage of kidney stones are called renal colic. They have a reputation of being known as pain iller than giving birth. A 5\u00a0mm stone would have around 70-80% chance of spontaneous passage, and it will increase slightly with the medicines that you are taking. Waiting time for spontaneous passage would be 2 weeks. The pain in the lower part of your abdomen means that your stone is on its way down to the bladder. The pain is caused by the contraction of the muscles in the ureter (tube that connects the kidneys to the bladder) pushing down the stone. If you feel that the medicines are not working, or you still have severe pain you might need an emergency endoscopic removal of the stone. For more details you can ask me through
