I have a 14 mm which is one of the biggest they've seen at the hospital. They just put a stent for now and schedule surgery in two weeks. The pain is indescribable.

I had a 6mm (1/4") stone removed last week at the VA .It took two hours and I was in recovery for four. Had blood in my urine for about 5 days (drink lots of water) and pain for about 4 days but not very much when I peed. Over those 4 days I used 5 Vicodin which bound me up something awefull (buy milk of magnesia). The stent came out easily . The doctor said that they put that string there so you can remove it at home. Considering how easy it came out I could have. Been 10 days and I feel great.

I have a kidney stone the size of 1.75 CM Golfball size. I had surgery Monday but the stone did not break up because of the size. They want to do it the evasive way. What questions should I ask the Dr?

the doctor thinks i have kidney stones and i am going for a scan and she said everything is showing i have it by all the symptoms but she said with all the pain i am having she said the might be big ones because when the pain starts i can't move and it last for about ten minutes but they are starting to get longer i was just wanting to know what types of symptoms did you have?

I just had my outpatient surgery performed yesterday and the relief was immediate. Post-op there were no complications and I returned home to a fairly normal day. My urine was blood red but, I had been forewarned by the physician that it would be. There was also a burning sensation when I urinated; the discomfort, however, has diminished each time I urinate. My stent removal is in 9 days. So far, things have worked well. It certainly beats the pain and discomfort of a stone.
