    This was my 3rd trip down kidney stone lane. 1996 I passed it. 1998 ultrasound and the laser LAST week. They ALL suck!
    Thought I was done with them when I passed that decade mark but Nooooo!

  3. Mr1ezlife says:

    Hopefully NOT!

  4. Mr1ezlife says:

    Nobody told me not to lift heavy items either but it makes sense. If you strain to hard down there I bet you could push it out. Don’t think they’ll put you out. I tired! It’s not really too bad if you’ve got the string. Be prepared with pain meds AFTER it comes out. Things are a might tender and the first time I urinated I thought I was gonna DIE! It was as bad as passing a stone. Good news is it’s only the first 24 hrs and you might be luckier then I. I hope

    Further note I am a women too and labour was so much easier.

    I had a kidney stone last year an ultrasound did not show it. It was 6mm. The cat scan did show it. I know I have it again and the ultrasound did not show it. You can also get a procedure done were they can shock wave the stone, this breaks the stone up without needing surgery. Also, coffee is a cause for kidney stones and I love my coffee. I feel your pain though :(

    Hydrangea root and marshmellow root have been proven to relieve pain assoc. with stones within minutes and will dissolve most stones within a few days,,, for about $25,,, research it then u decide

    Great video! I too had a blockage at the base of my kidney in my ureter…had the laser, basket capture and stent for 5 days unti I got a UTI…..you don’t want one of those w/a stent…so the ER Dr. removed the stent and I felt alot better after antibiotics and lots of water and rest. I have 6 more to pass, which the urologist said are small enough, so I’m just waiting to be in excruciating pain again… Good luck to you all..

  9. bergweg says:

    I have a stent in me, for 2 days now. Feels a bit heavy in the kidney, and when urinating a bit of pain in the kidney and bladder, kinda like too much pressure. The stent will be removed in about 10 days. What do you guys recommend to do the day before and on the day of the procedure, what to eat, what to drink? Maybe some particular herbs? I want the stent to just slide out fast a smooth. Any input appreciated. thanks

  10. KleioCotto says:

    I agree Ive had 4 surgeries for stones and only the last one they used a stin t and that was worse than the pain and the surgery itself.

  11. eastcowestrev says:

    Hi, I currently have a stent fitted it really irritates my bladder and kidney but I do think it’s better than the pain from the stone… Nobody told me not to lift anything over 10lb, and there is also no way I’d let them remove it unless I was completely unconcious, so for that alone, I think you are pretty brave.. do you know the reason for the not lifting anything? I like you am really looking forward to getting the stent out, hopefully, along with the stone I have. All the best, Trev :)

  12. angelozapanta says:

    hi, can i ask a question?? if a female have stent, it posible that can do sex without consequenses? or in danger about malfuction of stent, or broken something inside her?

  13. z92127 says:

    I just went through this and had the stent with the string for self removal. When I removed it, I sat on the edge of the tub (good thing). I pulled very slowly. It wasn’t painful but the feeling is intense. I tried to relax and allowed urine to flow as I pulled. Having the stent in was painful for me off and on so I was glad to remove it. I have had the scope up the uretha and would rather pull the string than have that. You go through same sensations but privately with the string.

  14. Jacintalee24 says:

    so does it leave any permanant damage?

  15. drumcore1976 says:

    I’ve also had the procedure done for the second time last week, but it’s different with me being a female. Both times I removed the stent myself, and it wasn’t an easy task. I tried a couple of time to do it myself (with pain killers of course) and every time I tugged I felt very woozy… Then I remembered that water help with my contractions when I was pregnant, so I went into the tub and pulled it out. It worked well both times. You might want to try that.

  16. KROC8MEARM says:

    Very well done on articulating your experience.. I currently have a stent inserted with a string hanging outside the penis. Suppose to be there until today (Sunday)Surgery was on tuesday. My instructions is to pull the string and stent will comed out, recommending that I take Pain pill an hour before. I tried tugging on it this morning and WOW, this is going to be a tough day!!! Felt the immediate urge to urinate and now I’m wondering how long is this stent. Post later on outcome… B

  17. voodoomagic2008 says:

    Great video. I fully understand the pain of having a stent. I’m 40 now but i’ve had 6 stone episodes since i was 19 years of age. Only on my last stone did i have a stent and i carried on working when actually i shoul’nt have. Very uncomfortable and painful passing urine. When i had it removed i was asleep though. Thank god!

    How are you getting on now?

  18. MisterQuebec says:

    Thanks for your reply. I’m going to wait for the results. I will talk with my urologist again.

    I did not drink any dye.

  19. coas84 says:

    It seems highly unlikely that a stone of that size went undetected. However, if they made you drink a dye, it could have hidden the stone from sight.

    A cystoscopy is essentially a manual search in your body, and again, it’s not a perfected science. It is plausible, but again, unlikely.

    The stone may have formed rapidly, but at that size it should have been seen. I recommend a new doctor…

  20. MisterQuebec says:

    A few months back I had X-Rays and ultrasound tests made to see if I had a kidney or gall bladder stone. They did find a 13mm gallbladder stone, but no kidney. Two weeks ago I went through a cystoscopy that did not detect anything wrong.

    Last week I was at the public washroom when all of sudden I saw a stone in the “rubber net” in the urinal! I took it and put in a bottle and took it to a lab. My question is: Can a kidney stone of that size go undetected by X-Rays and ultra-sound?

  21. coas84 says:

    While I haven’t had the experience of in-home treatments, I have heard of some stents being looped outside the hole of the penis (for easy removal).

    If you are uncomfortable performing this task (and rightfully should be), I would ask the doctor to do it for you.

    Again, I don’t know this procedure, but if you have to stick anything inside your penis, it could cause infection or permanent damage to the nerves (making sexual interactions less fun!)

    Good luck!

  22. coas84 says:

    Urinating blood can be a scary thing. Sometimes the problem can go away on it’s own, but if the urine becomes darker and darker, or you are suddenly in pain, it’s time to go to the hospital.

  23. porque83 says:

    dude iv had just about the same sceneiro as you but its my first stint and today is the day for it to come out yet the doctor says i can do it myself at home no tool simply string loop on my penis that i have to yank out please advice i havent taken pain meds for two day just so that they will complety kick my ass i hope

  24. bearsballa123 says:

    dude i woke up this morning and took a piss and i started pissin blood my dad said its probally a kidney stone it hurts like hell could you give me some info being some one who has dealt with it, would be much appreciated!

  25. garrettshore says:

    my man. dont remind me of my stent 2yrs ago. hurt worse than the stone. the funny thing about the stent is that you cant laugh when you have it in you. laughing causes the most excruciating pain. imagine what that does to you psychologically. you cant even laugh about how ridiculous it is that theres a plastic snake inside you.
