I have had a diagnosos of a kidney stone, found in a ct scan last week after 3 days of pain. I left the hospital a week ago and still have not passed the stone, it is 4 mm. The pain has moved from my rt side and back to my supra pubic area, where it has been now for about 3 days, I am taking tylenol #3 and Advil every 4 or 5 hrs to achieve comfort. I am drinking lots of water and other fluids. What do I do to move this thing along and out??
HelloThanks for query. You had severe pain in flank and had been detected on C. T scan to have a stone of a size of 4 mm in your Rt kidney . The shifting of pain from loin to supra pubic region suggest that it has moved down in lower part of ureter. In most of the cases the stone gets stacked up at the Mexico Ureteric Junction where the diameter of ureter is minimal . Continue taking treatment and add Tab Tamsulosin once daily and Tab Chat Doctor. This will help to dilate the ureter and there by passing the stone down in to bladder. Ensure to
