3mm kidney stone advice and help
Hello, 23F here. I’ve been having back pain, nausea, vomiting, hot cold sweats, constipation, and unable to go outside into the heat for about a week now. I went to the ER Monday morning and the 5 hours I was there they found nothing. They gave me zofran and sent me home only for them to call me 2 hours later to say they found a 3mm kidney stone in my kidney. The ER also told me they cannot help until I’m actively passing it and then I can come back and they will give me flomax and ibuprofen. I’ve talked to coworkers who had kidney stones and their 2-5mm stone pain was equal to unmedicated child birth they said. I had an epidural with my child and I’m scared to pass this stone . I stay hydrated and force myself to eat per doc’s instructions. I also smoke 🍁 to help with the back pain. What can I do to prepare myself and how long did it take you to pass kidney stones.
