Just diagnosed with 5mm Kidney Stone

It’s the worst pain I’ve ever had

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

tippmancoug

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.

Yllage Vidiot

10/24/20 10:12am

^^^ Not a urologist

SJS

10/24/20 10:35am

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

Yllage Vidiot

10/24/20 8:46pm

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.

SJS

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

Yllage Vidiot

10/24/20 9:21pm

Lol. Sure thing dude.

SJS

10/24/20 9:24pm

Come on. You're better than that.

Psst...SJS DID go to med school.

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

Yllage Vidiot

10/24/20 11:48pm

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

ebv

10/24/20 11:53pm

Okay then.

Yllage Vidiot

10/25/20 12:07am

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

Yllage Vidiot

10/24/20 9:18pm

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

Virginia Ute

10/25/20 1:17am

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

10/25/20 1:53am

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

Yllage Vidiot

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

Virginia Ute

10/25/20 9:42am

Agreed.

Kidney stone was awful. I was throwing up from the pain.

Morphine helped me.

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

Had a 6mm was in fetal position on ground knowing I was about to die

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

Lesson from these responses is that people respond differently to different

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
