Every morning I pee since I was a kid, but now that im 18 — my sides hurt badly in the morning and dont stop to hurt until I pee. After that, my sides are throbbing in relief, like I feel my sides throbbing after perhaps hours of pain because I didnt pee? My mom has had kidney stones… anyone know what this could pee?

We all here about the obesity epidemic, and that there is related increase of diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. What about gout and kidney stones, is that occuring with more frequency as well? Anyone know the statistics on this?

When I got home from the hospital after having my daughter 8 months ago, I got a terrible migraine headache with aura and nausea- all the classic symptoms. I have had migraines since i was 11 but only a few times of year. The migraine that I got 8 months ago has not gone away. It has been classified as chronic and I’ve had no relief except when I first wake up in the morning. As soon as I get out of bed and try to start my day it hits me like a hammer. I have been on so many medications that I can’t even remember the names. I’ve tried immitrex, maxalt, migranal nasal spray, intravenous DHE, benadryl, effexor, topamax and more- you name it and I’ve tried it. I was in the hospital recently for a kidney stone, which they think was caused by one of my medications (probably topamax) and they gave me morphine. The morphine helped the kidney stone, but didn’t touch the headache. The doctor at the hospital was baffled. I have seen numerous neurologists. I’ve even tried botox injections which were quite expensive. I went to a new neurologist this morning and within 30 seconds he told me that he thinks I’m anxious and depressed, and that is the reason I have this migraine. I tried to tell him that it was the other way around, but he got very defensive when I questioned him and was extremely rude. He gave me ten “trigger point” injections at the base of my neck and skull. He wants me to try nortriptyline and recommended that I see a psychiatrist. I feel like he looked at my chart, and because I had not responded to any conventional medication, he decided that I must have a psychological disorder. I am willing to face that I may be somewhat depressed as these migraines have made the past 8 months of my life extremely painful and difficult, but I do not feel that depression is causing my headaches. I feel like he made a snap judgment and had no bedside manner at all. I am on a waiting list for a headache clinic, but it is 6 months long and I am physically miserable. I feel like I have so many migraine triggers at this point that I don’t even know what they are. Smells, flashing lights, bright lights in general all make the chronic migraine worse. I have been very disappointed in the doctors I have seen. If they don’t have a medication that works for you they write you off. I had a spinal tap after my daughter was born because one of the doctors thought that maybe my epidural had leaked. It came back clean. My MRI and CT scan are also negative. Is there anyone else out there who is going through this? Am I the only one out there who has had an unresponsive headache for so many months with no relief? I just want to enjoy my family and the activities I enjoyed before this headache took over my life.

My husband is suffering from a kidney stone attack. He is drinking tons of fluids and took some vicodin, but is still in a lot of pain. He refuses to go to the hospital. Any suggestions?

I’ve posted a few questions about her inappropriate unination and a lot of the answers involved the fact that she may have a urinary tract infection. I’m scheduling an appointment for her to see the vet next week but I was curious if there were other signs I could look for.

My mother-in-law has a big stone in the kidney that can't be operated on. I think it is a calcium type of one??!! Anyway I'm looking for a miracle cure to try and stop her pain. (Pain she has lived with for a year). Would love to hear from anyone who has tried a home remedy with success!
She can't have an operation because her heart isn't strong enough.

Hello, my friend has been on a rollercoaster with her health and I’m quite concerned. A couple months back she went to the doctor because of pain she was having and they told her it was kidney stones well the pain hasn’t gone away, it has increased. Now they believe her gallbladder is the root of her problems. She had tests done on Saturday but in the meantime she is experiencing terrible pain and they said there is nothing they can do until the tests come back. She can’t eat anything and she is constantly vomiting. Her upper abdomen on the right side and back really hurt her as well. Has anyone experienced this? If so can you offer some remedies that worked for you that can help her while she’s waiting for the test results? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have been diagnosed with having a small kidney stone over nearly 2 weeks ago, I was told to stay at home and it would pass on its own. The last 2 days I have been finding tiny white particles in my urine nearly everytime I pee, the particles are not hard, when you touch them they smudge like a paste. If it was the stone passing would the particles be hard? I also have had slightly more pain the last 2 days in my kidney and by my abdomen and it has been burning a little when I pee today nothing severe yet, just slight discomfort. I have been drinking about 10 glasses of water a day and also a couple of glasses of cranberry juice to flush the stone out. What are the particles? and why do I have the pain in the kidney and a slight burning when I pee? is it the stone moving or possibly passing. Any info I would be grateful, cause the doctors just keep saying it will pass. Thanks

the last time i had sex was in mid-may (haven't had sex since). i was concerned about pregnancy because my period a week later had a lighter flow than usual (still lasted 4 days). my periods in june and july came on time but were still kinda light. was it cuz of the pill?i'm on the pill, and took every pill on time. that time we had sex, the condom broke (it had never happened before, so i was worried).

the last beta-hcg (blood test) test i took was 9.5 weeks after the last time i had sex. it's negative. also i had a pelvic exam and a abdominal/pelvic CAT scan (for kidney stones) almost 8 weeks after i had sex.

so there's no way that i'm pregnant now, right? especially because the blood test came back neg?

i mentioned the pelvic exam and CAT scan because they would have been able to tell if i were pregnant by that time according to the results of the pelvic exam (he could feel enlarged uterus) and CAT scan (seeing enlarged uterus or fluid in uterus by looking at all the images

my dad, Jerry, has always been one of those guys who just cant get enough when it comes to beautiful women. he’s been married twice & has 6 kids, well now 7! i am 18, i have 2 sisters that are older than i am, we were from when my dad was married to mom previously. since then ive seen most of the women he’s been with and they’ve all been pretty hot! i never understood how a guy that has a beard with grey in it as well as his hair, gets these hot women. i guess i would have to say that my 2 favs would be this sexy liberian girl that he had a baby with 2 yrs ago and then the one he just had a baby with. this one is 24, Emily, is a petite blonde, kinda of like a sarah michelle gellar type, especially in the face, but now he’s with another woman, but apparently after yesterday, it looks like Emily might be back into the picture. yesterday, Emily had the baby. i went up to teh hospital with my dad, he was there to see the birth. shortly afterwards, i witnessed my dad & Emily kiss as she held their new baby girl. it seemed more than just a kiss to celebrate their new baby, but a i care about you kinda a kiss. then my dad talked with the people that were up there for a little bit, told them about the kidney stone that he had passed on monday. he’s passed kidney stones before, so it wasnt anything new. would you think getting back together with Emily would be better or stay with his current gf Tammy who is 33 and has 2 kids? I would assume that Tammy wants to have another baby as well. could he juggle both of them at once if neccessary? that kiss they had just seemed like a spark of some kind. personally, if i weren related to my dad, id be jealous that an older guy with a black/grey beard and glasses is kissing a young babe like Emily who just had his baby, wouldnt you guys? I mean come on! another thing is the babys last name, do most unwed moms keep their name with the baby. the baby’s name is amanda, my dad’s last name is Hernandez and her last name is Swanson, shouldnt she go with her last name for the baby or can she go with my dad’s if she wanted to?

So I have had several kidney stones over the years, and after being put in the hospital overnight twice I have decided to stay home and deal with the pain the last couple of times.

The severe pain lasts about an hour, I jump in a hot bath and take some pain meds, and I'm fine.

However – this time I have had severe pain for over eight hours. Now that the constant pain is gone, whenever I urinate I feel a very, very sharp pain right inside my urethra. Is the stone lodged? Is it moving? Or is it just sore from the trauma?

I'm not used to the pain lasting this long, any insight is very much appreciated.

I'm 5 months pregnant with my 2nd baby and I've had 2 kidney stones so far. With my 1st I passed 5, and had 1 one kidney infecion. I've had 2 kidney stones while I wasn't pregnant. My mom says maybe I shouldn't have any more kids because my kidneys might not be able to handle it. Is that true? What can happen if I do have more kids? The Dr. I had with my 1st pregnancy acted like they're no big deal….?

I knwo I have a kidney stone and it has been attached in the upper portion of my right kidney. Now this month I have had about 3 UTI's already and today I have noticed a small amount of bladder leakage, a little soreness in my back (slightly on the lower left but primerily on the lower-middle right side).

Could it be that My stone has dropped?

Last tiem I passed a stone I went directly into Nephritus there were not symptoms leading into it.

Is it normal to experiance leakage with a stone or Kidney infesction?
