A1UC Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 (edited) Horrible i had stone in right side blasted and then they went in to remove the stuck stone on left side which was left from from 1st blasting 3 months ago.

A1UC Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 Well went in again yesterday for 5 hrs to have the stones that got stuck from the Extracorporal Shock Wave Lithotripsy . This has to be the worst so far , passing a scope 7 times .Then I was told they had to stop so I have 1 5mm stone left . I kind of figured this would happen , why not start a new bill for 2015 . Well at least the insurance covers a bunch this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well at least the insurance covers a bunch this year I can't imagine why you don't have the laser procedure like my brother did. 16 stones gone in a couple hours. No incisions and back to relative normalcy in 4 or 5 days. I think his largest was between 5 and 6mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A1UC Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 I asked that yesterday and they said its always better to try it this way first , if that don't work then you go that route . That's what they did last night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJkizak Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Mom had a major operation in 2005 to remove a kidney blockage. (You know get the knife, cut stuff, move stuff out of the way, cut more stuff etc.) Cost was $28,000.00. JJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CECAA850 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I asked that yesterday and they said its always better to try it this way first Absolutely the better way, for the Dr's bank account. Seems like he's milking the insurance company and your pain level for all they're worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigStewMan Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 sorry to hear you’re still suffering. is seeing another doc an option? my doc is pretty cool and i can generally dictate how “aggressive” i want to treat something. I’ve told the doctor "i just want this over” and other times the doc has suggested something aggressive and i opted for something less so. Pain and risk of future damage are what drive my decisions. I sure hope this ordeal gets resolved quickly for you--i can’t imagine how much you’re suffering. Question: are you getting used to the pain? I have two herniated disks in my neck and a certain degree of pain has become the norm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rummy Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 I hate to say this, but this is a scam! The waiting rooms fill up as the year end nears so they can get one last procedure before their deductible kicks in again. Urology is a profitable biz, BIG MONEY for the Doctors, all the PA's and Hospitals, they don't want you to not get them. The sad part is, your back always hurts, and you are headed towards kidney failure and dialysis, which my dad said hurts like hell. Thinking positive thoughts for you guys with the stints, take the pills, cut them in half or whatever you have to do to stay on them till they take the stint out. I cant imagine taking a stint out yourself, must have been on moraphine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 I cant imagine taking a stint out yourself, must have been on moraphine. My brother said his hurt but went away pretty quickly. He also said that the sensation of removing it was unlike anything he's felt before. He just wanted it out though because when it was in and he had to use the restroom, everything would spasm and take a few minutes to ease up.

It was more mental than physical but still didn't feel good removing it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the pain is getting easier to deal with thats for sure big prroblem is always having to be near a bathroom beacause of the stent , so I cant get out at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A1UC Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) Well all the stents are out , I have one more stone around 8mm which is next on the list ...... But I told the Doc until it becomes a real problem I aint touching it . I need a 4 month break from this nightmare . I will tell you this the last stent they cut the string and I had to go in and it it removed wow talk about a nightmare no pain meds 100% awake . it was called a cystoscopy They did say the last stone wont break so the only option is to go in from my side and insert a tube into the kidney .... like i said no rush here Edited January 7, 2015 by A1UC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
