Hi,
I was posting yesterday about difficulty passing urine, and I thought it might be a UTI or something. Well this morning I was woken by the worst pain I've ever experienced, from my back on the left to my groin. I could barely walk, and I was rolling about in agony.
My mother took me to A+E at about 8, I then proceeded to roll about on the waiting room floor, throwing up into a cardboard bowl because the pain was so bad. After an hour of rolling about I was finally seen, given some morphine, which didn't really help, and then had x-rays, blood tests and urine tests. After about 3 hours in the hospital the pain disappeared over a few minutes. The Dr came back saying it was kidney stones, he gave me some strong pain killers, he said I could go because the pain had gone and said to see my GP ASAP.
Has anyone got any experience with kidney stones? Any advice on what to do whilst waiting to see the GP (probably in a few days)?
Thanks,
