A bit fed up!

Hi Everyone.

Ok, this is a sort of continuation from a post I made a while ago.

Dec 19th I was diagnosed with 3 large kidney stones in the left kidney. Had these lasered and whilst they were doing that they found 3 more, also large ones...

I had an op on Dec 23 and although they removed the first 3 due to damage they had to leave the other 3 in with a stent to help with draining until I can go back in to have them removed as well. (Got about a 4 month wait so i'm told!)

Knock on from this is that I'm on oral morphine for pain control and I believe the constant hammering of pain killers is now causing other intestinal problems, as in a potential ulcer.

I have no appetite and when I do eat I bring half of it back up regardless if its Soup or solid food and there is a non stop feeling of nausea.

I suppose my question to everyone is, have any of you gone through something similar and how did you deal with it and how did it end?

Many thanks for reading

Martin

Be sure to keep doctors looking at you. Ulcers wouldn't be good, and maybe a different type of pain med could be taken.

Are you still on acid reducers?

I have a hiatus hernia and have been on antacids for years prior to this. Am seeing doc on Friday so will be pushing to get things sorted somehow

How long do you have to keep the stent in? My fiancé had one but they only left it for a week as it was so painful and the fragments passed by then.

I just had a thought.. if you still have your gallbladder, have it checked out. Gallstones can cause nausea.
