I’ll put it you like this. I packed Toradol and flowmax in my pack for my elk hunt in Sept.

Originally posted by speck1 View Post10 days ago we were headed to Utah for an elk hunt. Kidney stone pain hit me while we were driving. Went into the ER in Steamboat Springs to get a scan and see how big it was. I have had the surgical removal twice before and passed several on my own. Scan comes back at 8mm and it’s blocking my ureter. Thank goodness they had a urologist that didn’t want me to miss my elk hunt. They did the surgery on Sunday morning and we were back on the road that afternoon. Having to hunt the mountains with a stent in place was terrible but not as bad as missing the trip. Like others said, hot water helps. Push lots of fluid and get checked if it gets too bad.
No way?!! You went hunting with a stent??
I don’t know how long those things are but, I’m certain that when I had mine, I could feel it poking my lungs! The only position that was comfortable was “ramrod straight”! Anything else, bending, twisting, he**, even sitting was very uncomfortable.

I agree with this. I had covid about a month ago. 3 days after I tested positive I was in the ER with my first stones. Took 4 days to pass them (2). Not one symptom of covid while my body was trying to deal with the stones. I’ll take covid every day as well.

I've also had two, about 7 years apart. The first took 14 days to pass. The second, they went in and got it at day 5. Worst pain I've ever felt. Second worst pain was the stent he left in the ureter between the kidney and bladder after pulling the second one out...with the ability to pull it out myself after a week. I'll leave that to your imaginations.
No frickin' fun...
Wish you all the best, Wildmatt...
