I’m barely 22 and just had my first ever kidney stone on Sunday (through Tuesday morning) and I can’t even begin to explain how excruciatingly painful it was. Throwing up, nearly fainting, writhing on the ground. I kept thinking to myself “I feel like I’m dying” but to be honest death would’ve been merciful and gladly welcomed to not have to experience anymore pain like that. Went to the ER after 5 hours of intense intense 11/10 pain and finally got IV painkillers which helped SO MUCH. They confirmed it was a 4mm kidney stone and sent me home with more painkillers. Passed on its own almost two days later and I COULD NOT BE MORE GRATEFUL! Catch me chugging a gallon of water a day from here on out
I had the same thing but I couldn't pass mine and had to have a laser shoved up in me and had to have a stent in for 2 weeks and it was so painful every time I had to pee. You got lucky passing it on your own. I hope I never have to go through that again. God bless our big beautiful ❤️'s.
The pain is extreme .. this last time (a month ago) they gave me morphine and it didn’t do anything..they eventually gave me dilauded and about 20 minutes later I was pain free.. I think I shed a tear of relief.
I cannot believe I have come across this Video, I am going into Hospital tomorrow Morning for a Kidney Stone removal, they attempted to remove it 4 weeks ago but the ureter was too narrow to get the instruments in, so a stent was placed for the last 4 weeks. I cannot have Lithotripsy because I have a large cyst right next to the stone which I am unable to pass naturally due to its size, I hope it is removed tomorrow as I have had all of the symptoms you mentioned especially the abdominal and back pain, thank you for such an informative Video
I was diagnosed yesterday with a 2mm kidney stone. The pain was excruciating and it did come in waves. My pain is on the left side and they did a CT scan and the results said i had some scarring. The er doctor didn’t really explain much about where the stone was located and I was in such shock to get the news initially I didn’t ask the right questions because I was still affected by the morphine. I will be drinking water consistently going forward!
I recently had a kidney stone pass, but what I don't understand is how it developed. I drink water with lime or lemon 95% of the time every day. Can you please offer an explanation? Thanks.
I am having these pains in my lower left back area. It does come in waves for me. It just started a few days ago and it's happening more frequently. It's coming.
I’ve been having kidney stones since I was 27 years old now I’m 52, I have chronic stones and sometimes I don’t feel the pain but most of the time I’m in extreme pain and discomfort, I had every procedure done except surgery , I started feeling pain this past Tuesday and today is Thursday and it’s going to be out by morning hopefully 🙏, this video is the best explanation I’ve ever seen
Two weeks ago I was brought to my German hospital with kidney stones. It started on the right side just behind the lowest rip on my back. The feeling was comparable to a flickering muscular cramp. The pain was still somewhat manageable BUT it became worse every minute. It radiated right through to the chest side and went down towards the groin. When I arrived at hospital the pain was excuciating, I felt weak, I was sweating like hell, my clothes were wet, I felt nauseous and started fainting. I could barely stand on my feet and only had one wish: I asked myself if I had suffered enough that I was allowed to pass out happily to save me from that excruciating amount of pain. I described the mentioned pain development as accurately as possible. I spoke very slowly and quietly because I had severe difficulties expressing my thoughts. The ER-doctor asked if the pain was colicular in nature. My harsh reply was: "What the hell does that mean?! I have never had a colic in my life and have no clue how it feels like!" Due to the intense pain I was upset .. and I was scared to death. I hope she did not take it offensively. Calmly she explained to me how colicular pain feels like (waves) and I said: "No..... no waves! Just INTENSE pain!" I was put on high dosed intravenous painkillers immediately and the pain went down. Let's say I could handle it easily again. I am thankful for what she did. And btw: There had not been any waves because a large amount of kidney 'sand' had accumulated right in front of my bladder forming a concrete like blockage. No waves of pain because no big stones had travelled. Due to my tiny anatomy I was unable to pee them out and I had never peed anything out in my life. Du to the amount of build up pressure my kidney had burst (fornix rupture). Yesterday the bill from the hospital arrived: Nine days in hospital for 90 €. 😉

I was treated for kidney stone lodged between my bladder and kidney. Ambulance took me hospital ER..... Fell on floor, regurgitating and had excruciating pain.... Arrived at 8pm that nite and was not seen by anyone until 10am the next morning by the urology team. Went into septic shock and passed out... They had to perform emergency surgery... ICU for 4 days, in the hospital for 24 days in all... My bill: $207,567.00 so far! This doesn't include the office visits of $45.00 co-pay. BCBS paid $204,000.00+, and, I have to pay only $3200.00! I had three (3) surgeries! No high blood Pressure, though...loads of heavy and deadly medications, whew! I have to sign on for Therapy due to this... I still have nightmares about this shit! 😮 Now I have severe back pain, and will see the Dr soon. I have Lumbar Stenosis and hopefully, that's where the pain is coming from. I will know, soon... May God bless us, all! 🛐🙏🏼👼🏼🧡
@@tinamcdaniel7824 As you went into septic shock you must have had that condition for a longer time already.... sepsis does not happen suddenly as it needs time to develop.
@@knutritter461 I went into septic shock bc an infection developed rapidly due to me having to wait 14hours in ER Waiting Room!

Straight & simple talk here. I'd get up to 4 very large (oxalate) kidney stones a year. I've had NONE for 7 years now. I use something called 'Stone Breaker' tablets I get from Walmart. Active ingredient is something called Chanca Piedra & there are other brands available. Dosage is recommended 3 tablets a day (about 25 cents each) but I find that one a day works for me. If I feel back pain like from a pending stone I simply go to two tabs a day for a while & never had a problem.
Very informative and helpful. I have kidney stones some of the systems I’ve had is pain in my lower back pain in testicular on the same side as the kidney effected with stones. I’m going in for the scope procedure in 2 days CT scan showed a couple stones in my kidney and in the uruter as well as one in my blather
Follow up I had the procedure with the scope up my urethra and the laser with the claw the surgeon said the after zapping the worst stones the view was obstructed so he put a stent just below my kidney and he will have to go in to remove the rest of the stones in my kidney. He also said my kidney was going into failure so the timing was right to save my left kidney. For that I’m grateful. As far as pain I would liken it to pissing razor blades this is day 2 of recovery and the bleeding is almost gone but the sharp pain even with pain meds is still very much with me. And of course drinking a lot of water is mandatory for recovery. Get checked out if you can a simple Cscan will tell the truth about kidney stones
I am averaging 20-30 stone per year for the past 5-6 years. I just had a scan done today where they found 6 stones that aren’t small. Dr. Frita, any advice on what I can do??

I have a 8mm stone in lower right kidney. Every so often I have pain that is intolerable. The stone has never moved into the ureter but I believe it is still causing me pain. I've had 2 eswl that were unsuccessful. I've had 2 ureter lithotrotripsy that were unsuccessful . Very frustrating
you have to drink a lot of a good natural cranberry juice and water. I bought a terrible tasting herbal extract called stone free from planetary herbals and it seemed to have gotten rid of my kidney stone or 2, worth trying, I'm not a doctor.
If you have a pain in your side and you feel death would be a better option than going one more second with this type of pain when you feel like putting your head through a plate glass window just to distract yourself you may have a kidney stone
was diagnosed with UTI about 5 months ago The doctor Gave me some antibiotics but nothing helped I really don't know what to do the infection looks to be more perstance and along side with other symptoms such as lower back pain and burning in front of my manhood even when am not urinating 😭 Any help 🙏🙏🙏
I'm urinating pure blood going on 11wks and urologists says it's a small kidney stone that shouldn't be causing this much bleeding. After scope and CT scan, he says they find nothing wrong on their end and to go back to family doctor!!!
Oh Dr I wish I had you here now ct scan showed a stone about half size of my kidney it’s not passing of course last month they sound blasted it now they asking me yo come back in to remove the rest why was the stent placed if it was not used to laser it to break up which is what I was told they had planned now hourly I have pasted few stone along the side of tube wow that’s not fun help no I was not sent home eith sny pain meds of any kind
I believe I’ve had a kidney stone in my kidney for five months but I’ve had a lot of pain I was told there’s no pain when the stone is in your kidney is that true or false and or if the pain is from the kidney stone in the kidney why is it not moving after five months or is it that I have more than one or pieces breaking off in Summer staying in the kidney? I’m not sure what’s going on.

Hi Dr I had three stones taken out one was calcium bladder an was an couple years another year after a round one like a marble an two years after gallbladder stone now I having pain on both knees an ankles swelling saw bone specialist he said to put cold compress on both knees for twenty minutes an take any tablet for pain I am 77 years can't walk by myself so I have a daughter live with me we have to pay a taxi to take us anyway like by the Dr as I texting pain on both ankles and swollen
Hello, Dr. Frita: I have a 5mm nonobstructing stone in the lower pole of my left kidney. The stone was first noted on CT about 15 months ago in the course of a pretty thorough hematuria workup. At the time, my urologist was skeptical that such a stone could produce the blood that we were seeing. So a cystoscopy was done, which was negative, as well as a mfMRI which revealed a suspicious prostatic lesion which a biopsy revealed to be a small (Gleason 3+4 in one core) tumor, which was Cyberknifed without issue. PSA (which was never very high) is down sharply. My hematuria stopped, until this past June. My question: does a 5mm stone need to be extracted if isolated intermittent hematuria is the only symptom? I feel fine.
Well i went to ER saturday, because i had pain exactly like the stone i had in nivember when had moving stone, had 2 left in each kidney. I had a CT scan and there where no stones and nothing moving, but some.blood in urine, but im still in pain and wondering whats causing it
I just got up one morning with unbearable intense pain and started throwing up, and was diagnosed with a kidney stone, when I went to the hospital, no warning signs/symptoms before that morning.
That’s how I was and it was excruciating pain 😖😖😖😖 I was given a shot at the ER, prescribed antibiotics, pain meds, and zofran. I got some relief, now I feel like the same things are happening again and it’s only been a little over a week since I was at the ER
There are women who said they'd rather give birth than deal with the pain of a kidney stone. Dr Frita's straight forward, informative and helpful. A no nonsense doctor who's rocking it. Thank you!
I truly appreciate this information. I wish my doctor had explained it to me like you are doing now. I passed a kidney stone recently and the pain was beyond excruciating... Thanks again for all your valuable information.😊
Yes, an extremely unpleasant experience. Two occasions I was overwhelmed with that aweful pain . Once in Thailand and once on a road trip in Malaysia. The hospitals treated me for the pain and gave me medicine to flush the stone out. I never did see any fragments or stone in my urine. Then one night back in the UK a year or so after the last episode the pain returned for a third time.This time even worse and incapacitating. Even my dog wouldn’t come near me. I phoned an “out of hours doctor who wanted me to drive twenty miles to see him. A big no no. Ended up with a 999 call and the para medics managed to settle me with morphine. I was taken to A and E where they found I had a 7mm stone blocking my Ureter. About three days later a small tube was inserted to bypass the stone and three months later the stone was removed. A truly horrible experience but how lucky to live in this age where kidney stones can be treated.
This Dr. Is freaking good at her job. I wished I had her 15yrs ago when I started really having them bad. I have learned how to live with them, even as painful as they are. My kids swear that I love pain now. I have gone the the E.R 3 times in my life over Kidney Stones. This was back in my early 30s. The E.R doctor was very rude to me the last time I went in my 30s saying that they weren't going to keep treating me for them. Last night I didn't know what was wrong. I figured it was one of 3 things. 1. Kidney Stone 2. Bladder / Kidney infection ( which I have ever only had with stones ) 3. All of the above. So after 4 hours of sitting on the toilet screaming in so much pain, my dog was even worried. My wife figured I'd want to go to the E.R whenever I couldn't take the pain anymore. I mean we have been married now for 30yrs amd she knows I'm not gonna listen anyway. Lol. I had been having side pains, but a couple weeks earlier I was in the hospital for pneumonia and bi lateral blood clots in my lungs. So I was kinda used to the pain already. Well after peeing fire for 4 hours, I figured it was time to go to the hospital. The Doctors assistant whatever she is called ran the test and CT scan. I had already passed the stone and peeing blood. This had to be one of the largest stones I've had. I have passed then at 7.5mm. So with all the pain, I figure it was over 8mm to cause the amount of pain I was in and still in right now. Be careful and listen to this Dr. She knows way more then the other I've talked too. Take care and God Bless.
Having experienced 1 or 2 stones a year since I was 30, I found your post to be very accurate. I would rather know the truth about the pain and how it's managed than the physician not being truthful about what to expect. My very first urologist saw me for a follow up and removed the stents. Another painful part of kidney stones. When he was done I sat up and said, " Man I am glad that is over." the doctor kind of chuckled and said, "Enjoy the feeling as long as you can because you'll be back with more stones." And he was right. Thank you for an informative post.
I have that same issue I get 2 a year since I was a teenager I'm sorry that you go through that your the first person I've heard that gets them regularly like me
I've always had issues with my kidneys since I was a baby, I was so badly jaundiced I almost had to get dialysis. I've has a few nasty kidney infections, the last one over a year ago where I had to be admitted. They gave me an ultrasound for stones but said nothing was there. I'm concerned I still have an underlying issue though as I'll get stitch like cramps in my sides and back at times, my doctor dismisses me all the time though.
Everyone usually says the kidney stones present with flank or back pain. Adding abdominal pain to my data banks now. Thanks for always educating us Doc!
Yes. I woke up one day with INTENSE pain in my abdomen. So much so that I couldn’t drive myself to the emergency clinic. I got my landlord to take me. She said as soon as she saw my face, she knew something was wrong. She took me in her pajamas. The clinic said they believe I had a kidney stone, but told me to go to the hospital now and he called ahead. The fastest I’ve ever been seen at a hospital. He wanted to make sure my appendix hadn’t ruptured. It was fine but they confirmed kidney stone.
Thanks Dr Frita. Very informative information. I have had Kidney stone for about 5 years now. I am not enjoying it but it comes and goes. Does it ever go away finally once and for all?
Hi Dr. Frita, I was diagnosed with a 5mm kidney stone about 3 weeks ago. I don’t think I’ve passed the stone yet but I haven’t had terrible pain in the last 10 days. Is it possible to still have the stone but feel no pain for days? Or is it more likely that I have passed it without knowing. Giving that it is 5mm I thought I would notice when it passed.
Over a year and a half my creatine has slowly risen. Suggested seeing a nephrologist even just for a baseline. She said I was 3a stage. Don't see the until Dec. 7th. Should I be worried?
Okay here's the thing. I'm currently 39 years old and last year I had an ultrasound done on me for another reason, but they found that I have two non-obstructive kidney stones on my left kidney. Should I worry too much about them? How should I get rid of them? Just looking for some answers here. Thanks in advance.
I believe softdrinks is the main cause. But no one will tell you that. I also believe carbs with softdrinks . Things like cheese , bread, etc .but the main is soft drinks .
@@AntoninusPius17 I don't touch soft drinks but I looked on my hospital paper and it did say tums, I was taking them at the time, wow, haven't touched any of those and other calcium suppliments since.

I believe I’ve had a kidney stone in my kidney for five months but I’ve had a lot of pain I was told there’s no pain when the stone is in your kidney is that true or false and or if the pain is from the kidney stone in the kidney why is it not moving after five months or is it that I have more than one or pieces breaking off in Summer staying in the kidney? I’m not sure what’s going on.
My doc said I have a large stone and he said there is prob nothing to worry about it should I see a specialist.
Will jucing with lemons everyday kill all types of kidney stones ?????
4 oz of each water, cranberry juice, fresh lemon juice 1 tbs Bragg’s apple cider vinegar drink 3 to 4 times a day for 3 to 4 days will dissolve kidney stones.
It’s from too much eating salt in Filipino it’s a-sin especially when you eat a hotdogs!

Hello, Dr. Frita:
I have a 5mm nonobstructing stone in the lower pole of my left kidney. The stone was first noted on CT about 15 months ago in the course of a pretty thorough hematuria workup. At the time, my urologist was skeptical that such a stone could produce the blood that we were seeing. So a cystoscopy was done, which was negative, as well as a mfMRI which revealed a suspicious prostatic lesion which a biopsy revealed to be a small (Gleason 3+4 in one core) tumor, which was Cyberknifed without issue. PSA (which was never very high) is down sharply. My hematuria stopped, until this past June. My question: does a 5mm stone need to be extracted if isolated intermittent hematuria is the only symptom? I feel fine.
Just to clarify: the CT was repeated this July, which showed the same stone, the same size, in the same location.
YES. Sorry for my tardy response.
A woman doctor?!
Wonderful

Well i went to ER saturday, because i had pain exactly like the stone i had in nivember when had moving stone, had 2 left in each kidney. I had a CT scan and there where no stones and nothing moving, but some.blood in urine, but im still in pain and wondering whats causing it
Very informative and through. Thank you Dr.
Great video Doctor. Can Chanca Piedra help to beeak up the kidney stones like 6 mm or less?
Just started taking that to break up a 7mm. They say it may take a few months but don't take it longer than 3 months.
I just got up one morning with unbearable intense pain and started throwing up, and was diagnosed with a kidney stone, when I went to the hospital, no warning signs/symptoms before that morning.
That’s how I was and it was excruciating pain 😖😖😖😖 I was given a shot at the ER, prescribed antibiotics, pain meds, and zofran. I got some relief, now I feel like the same things are happening again and it’s only been a little over a week since I was at the ER
I had to visit the ER. I was on the floor of the ER. Security had to help put me back in the chair 2xs. It’s Death as far as I’m concerned.
I loved her explanation ! Thank you ❤
There are women who said they'd rather give birth than deal with the pain of a kidney stone. Dr Frita's straight forward, informative and helpful. A no nonsense doctor who's rocking it. Thank you!
I truly appreciate this information. I wish my doctor had explained it to me like you are doing now. I passed a kidney stone recently and the pain was beyond excruciating... Thanks again for all your valuable information.😊
I also had spasms from the UTI...it was quite scary.
Yes, an extremely unpleasant experience. Two occasions I was overwhelmed with that aweful pain . Once in Thailand and once on a road trip in Malaysia. The hospitals treated me for the pain and gave me medicine to flush the stone out. I never did see any fragments or stone in my urine. Then one night back in the UK a year or so after the last episode the pain returned for a third time.This time even worse and incapacitating. Even my dog wouldn’t come near me. I phoned an “out of hours doctor who wanted me to drive twenty miles to see him. A big no no. Ended up with a 999 call and the para medics managed to settle me with morphine. I was taken to A and E where they found I had a 7mm stone blocking my Ureter. About three days later a small tube was inserted to bypass the stone and three months later the stone was removed. A truly horrible experience but how lucky to live in this age where kidney stones can be treated.
Three months later, OMG.
That's awful! I hope it never happens again
This Dr. Is freaking good at her job. I wished I had her 15yrs ago when I started really having them bad.
I have learned how to live with them, even as painful as they are. My kids swear that I love pain now. I have gone the the E.R 3 times in my life over Kidney Stones. This was back in my early 30s. The E.R doctor was very rude to me the last time I went in my 30s saying that they weren't going to keep treating me for them.
Last night I didn't know what was wrong. I figured it was one of 3 things.
1. Kidney Stone
2. Bladder / Kidney infection ( which I have ever only had with stones )
3. All of the above.
So after 4 hours of sitting on the toilet screaming in so much pain, my dog was even worried. My wife figured I'd want to go to the E.R whenever I couldn't take the pain anymore. I mean we have been married now for 30yrs amd she knows I'm not gonna listen anyway. Lol. I had been having side pains, but a couple weeks earlier I was in the hospital for pneumonia and bi lateral blood clots in my lungs. So I was kinda used to the pain already.
Well after peeing fire for 4 hours, I figured it was time to go to the hospital. The Doctors assistant whatever she is called ran the test and CT scan. I had already passed the stone and peeing blood. This had to be one of the largest stones I've had. I have passed then at 7.5mm. So with all the pain, I figure it was over 8mm to cause the amount of pain I was in and still in right now.
Be careful and listen to this Dr. She knows way more then the other I've talked too. Take care and God Bless.
Having experienced 1 or 2 stones a year since I was 30, I found your post to be very accurate. I would rather know the truth about the pain and how it's managed than the physician not being truthful about what to expect. My very first urologist saw me for a follow up and removed the stents. Another painful part of kidney stones. When he was done I sat up and said, " Man I am glad that is over." the doctor kind of chuckled and said, "Enjoy the feeling as long as you can because you'll be back with more stones." And he was right. Thank you for an informative post.
I have that same issue I get 2 a year since I was a teenager I'm sorry that you go through that your the first person I've heard that gets them regularly like me
That was excellent and you more for me in this video then the urologist who told me nada. Thank you. ❤
I've always had issues with my kidneys since I was a baby, I was so badly jaundiced I almost had to get dialysis. I've has a few nasty kidney infections, the last one over a year ago where I had to be admitted. They gave me an ultrasound for stones but said nothing was there. I'm concerned I still have an underlying issue though as I'll get stitch like cramps in my sides and back at times, my doctor dismisses me all the time though.
You should go to a different doctor or maybe change your diet.
It was helpful , thank u so very much .
Everyone usually says the kidney stones present with flank or back pain. Adding abdominal pain to my data banks now. Thanks for always educating us Doc!
You are welcome, I'm glad to hear that you found the information helpful. 😊
Yes. I woke up one day with INTENSE pain in my abdomen. So much so that I couldn’t drive myself to the emergency clinic. I got my landlord to take me. She said as soon as she saw my face, she knew something was wrong. She took me in her pajamas. The clinic said they believe I had a kidney stone, but told me to go to the hospital now and he called ahead. The fastest I’ve ever been seen at a hospital. He wanted to make sure my appendix hadn’t ruptured. It was fine but they confirmed kidney stone.
@@cookie7969 Wow! I’m glad you’re ok. It’s good to know stones can have different signs than just the typical
Thanks Dr Frita. Very informative information. I have had Kidney stone for about 5 years now. I am not enjoying it but it comes and goes. Does it ever go away finally once and for all?
Hi Dr. Frita, I was diagnosed with a 5mm kidney stone about 3 weeks ago. I don’t think I’ve passed the stone yet but I haven’t had terrible pain in the last 10 days. Is it possible to still have the stone but feel no pain for days? Or is it more likely that I have passed it without knowing. Giving that it is 5mm I thought I would notice when it passed.
I have pain when I lay on my right side.my left kidney hurts,or when I breath deep.
Stone do hurt. Believe me
I learned do much important information from you, Dr. Freda about Kidney Stones. Thank you so much.

Over a year and a half my creatine has slowly risen. Suggested seeing a nephrologist even just for a baseline. She said I was 3a stage. Don't see the until Dec. 7th. Should I be worried?
P
Doc. Thanks for sharing very useful information.
I've had 3 surgeries for stones...,.you don't want one...
Okay here's the thing. I'm currently 39 years old and last year I had an ultrasound done on me for another reason, but they found that I have two non-obstructive kidney stones on my left kidney. Should I worry too much about them?
How should I get rid of them?
Just looking for some answers here. Thanks in advance.

Thank you Dr Frita, it helped a lot after watching your video.
Thank you for the information.
Very informative
OMG, it looks like you made a video to scare patients. Shiiiiiish, I stopped watching at minute 4. 😢
Is there a way to prevent getting stones?
My brother has issues with them🙁
I believe softdrinks is the main cause. But no one will tell you that. I also believe carbs with softdrinks . Things like cheese , bread, etc .but the main is soft drinks .
@@AntoninusPius17 I don't touch soft drinks but I looked on my hospital paper and it did say tums, I was taking them at the time, wow, haven't touched any of those and other calcium suppliments since.
