I went to the ER Thursday Morning and while there passed a stone within an hour after getting there.. once I passed the stone I wasn't in anymore pain at all .. they then took me and gave me a CT scan and said I had another stone that was a 3cm stone just right above my bladder.....Friday , I felt like I had to urinate more than often most of the time .... later on that day for about 3 hours I noticed that my urine had a pinkish color to it.. it then went back to a normal color . I have been using a strainer whenever I urinate and so far haven't seen a stone at all........ I am wondering if the stone has moved into my bladder and is just sitting there someplace .It doesn't hurt or anything when I urinate either. .... I have a doctor's appt set up as a followup but that is like a week from this coming up Thursday.... I guess I am just wondering if I still have a kidney stone or not.
Chances are that both stones are now resting in your bladder (better here than in your kidney or ureter!). Keep drinking lots of water to help them pass completely out. This could take a week but mostly occurs within a few days. Some stones (especially the larger ones) can sit in the bladder longer. I hope you meant a 3mm stone instead of a 3cm because a stone that large must be surgically removed. When the stone(s) does pass, do have it analyzed. This information could possibly help you to prevent future stone growth.
Thanks for replying... the doc probably meant 3mm and just said 3 cm by mistake.the first stone I know is gone because I know I passed that one in the restroom.. I had a kidney stone about 11 years ago and it felt exactly like it did when I passed that one....... the doctor also said that the ct showed that there are a lot of stones inside my kidneys also but that they could stay there for a long while and doesn't know when or if they will ever come out...(hopefully they will stay put) ...!!!! can a kidney stone stay in a bladder indefinately and cause no probs?
I haven't seen my family doctor yet... I've only seen the ER doctor and he read the Cat scan report to me and told me to make doctor appt with my family doctor which I did so basically I have no clue what is up about the stones in my kidneys except what the er doctor said was in the report...the ER doc said to make the appt with my dr for 2 weeks so that is what I did...I guess i will find out more then about the stones....It doesn't make me feel at ease knowing anything about it. I wish the appt was a lot sooner that what it is.
Kidney stone In bladder maybe?
