It’s the worst pain I’ve ever had

Torodol not sure how it’s spelled but it does wonder for pain

But can’t have invasive procedures done for several days after taking Toradol (speaking from experience) so be careful

Same here. #2: The cyst in my jaw was a light tickle in comparison.

I had a 10 mm and 15 mm on the same side when I was first diagnosed. I was unable to speak or respond to doctor’s or

My advice would depend on your symptoms and the type and location of your stone. Lithotripsy is prob my rec if offered.

^^^ Not a urologist

Hence the “if offered”. Lithotripsy worked great for me. Are you a urologist, perhaps?
Yllage Vidiot

No, I’m not. Which is why I haven’t offer any “recs”
SJS
10/24/20 8:50pm
Well I am a physician with a long history of kidney stones and treatments for them, so I feel like I can offer advice.
Yllage Vidiot
10/24/20 8:56pm
Then why would you give bad advice like no Toradol with invasive procedures?
SJS
10/24/20 8:59pm
3 days of intense pain holding on to 10 and 15 mm stones will do that to you. You as a non-physician are telling me

I think we’re done here.

When challenged to demonstrate your immense knowledge, you run away. Got it. Stay in your lane, bro.

Lol. Sure thing dude.

Come on. You're better than that.

It would have been appropriate for him/her to say so.

Nah. Citation to authority is about the weakest argumentative technique there is

Okay then.

Please tell me everything you know about Toradol, with pharmacy references and nuances relating to types and severity
Yllage Vidiot

Your comment that you can’t have procedures for days after toradol is false.

You can take it up with my urologist then, this came from him. I should not have said “procedures”, just lithotripsy.
Yllage Vidiot
10/25/20 1:24am
That’s interesting. I am frequently asked by urologists I work with to use toradol on our kidney stone patients, even
Virginia Ute

Mine were both in the renal pelvis and were made of uric acid so maybe there was some uniqueness there. As I said, they

Better question would be if it’s an absolute contraindication.
Virginia Ute

Agreed.

I never even felt mine come out when I peed. The pain comes from when they move

I didn't know I was going to die so much as wishing that I could.

I have had a few 2 mm and a 3. So small enough to pass on their own. Here is the deal with stones, they don't hurt

Yeah seems this way, absolutely no pain right now, but living in fear
