Have been trying to pass a kidney stone for the past week and I feel like I'm dying! what have you guys tried doing? I've had them since I was 15 so I knew what it felt like. I warned my doctor that I had noticed some occasionally hurting and she brushed it off. I ended up in the ER 4 days later. they put me on pain meds and antibiotics and sent me home. by the next day I had an ultrasound scheduled then a follow up appointment. it showed I have Hydronephrosis and several stones. they sent me to a urologist and I was told there is nothing they could do for me except pain meds and maybe stints if worse comes to worse. it's a week later and I still haven't passed it and I feel as if I'm dying!
