Had two kidney stone operations in 2003. Now I am passing bloody urine again. Came up out of the blue. WTF. This ain't nothing like good

I had a kidney stone in Jan/Feb of this year, lithotripsy (sp?) to get it removed. Over the summer I had some of the symptoms but was cleared after taking some antibiotics.

A month ago I had ALL of the symptoms from my last stone, which did not include passing blood. I got a CT scan, urine screen, the works, all negative. No stone and the symptoms vanished in a week.

I feel your pain, that is something I never want to go through again and takes steps daily to ensure I'm getting enough fluids, cutting back on salt and red meat per the urologist's orders, etc.

Best of luck, hopefully you won't need the ol' laser heading the wrong way up you junk.

Thanks! I've been there done that. The laser wasn't the bad part, even though since I had 12 stones stuck in me on one side and 10 on the other and I had that procedure twice

The bad part was the stents floating inside me due to the pressure differential while peeing. They stabbed my kidneys every time. I screamed like a little girl every time I took a leak for 10 days

I pissed blood for a week before my stone hit. Maybe you are getting ready to pass one again.

See your pee doc - if it isn't fresh stones, your other choice is cancer.

Well, lets not jump overboard just yet! I think the boat may still be seaworthy. After my last (prolonged!) bout, I feel I have a good handle on what this is. If I show no improvement after a few days of drinking more water than I care to think about, then its doctor time

Good luck with the next few days but…… Since you’re more than likely headed for the Dr. anyway why not just go tomorrow. No sense in suffering longer than needed and you would be sure nothing more serious brewing.

Passed it today. Well, I hope I passed the only one I had today
