Kidney stones are the result of excess calcium.  So if the multi-vitamin contains calcium or (Ca), I would stop taking them for the time being.  This most likely a phase and it will come and go.  I would also consult your family physician or pharmacist to recommend a vitamin that might not have a much Calcium in the tablet.

Symptoms usually start after a stone of sufficient size (larger than 8mm) blocks the cystic duct or the common bile duct. The cystic duct drains the gallbladder, and the common bile duct is the main duct draining into the duodenum. Together, these ducts form part of the biliary system.\n\nA stone blocking the opening from the gallbladder or cystic duct usually produces symptoms of biliary colic, which is right upper abdominal pain that feels like cramping. If the stone does not pass into the duodenum, but continues to block the cystic duct, acute cholecystitis results.\n\nIf the common bile duct is blocked for a long period of time, bacteria may grow behind the stone in the stagnant bile, producing symptoms of cholangitis. Cholangitis is a serious condition and usually requires hospitalization. Continued blockage of normal bile flow may produce jaundice (yellow skin and eyes).\n\nStones blocking the lower end of the common bile duct (where it enters the duodenum) may obstruct secretion from the pancreas, producing pancreatitis. This condition can also be serious and may require hospitalization.\n\nIn general, pay attention to the following symptoms:\n\nAbdominal pain in the right upper abdomen or in the middle of the upper abdomen, which:\nMay be recurrent\nMay be sharp, cramping, or dull\nMay radiate to the back or below the right shoulder blade\nMay be made worse by fatty or greasy foods\nOccurs within minutes of a meal\nJaundice\nFever\nAdditional symptoms that may be associated with this disease include:\n\nClay-colored stools\nNausea and vomiting\nHeartburn\nExcess gas\nAbdominal indigestion\nAbdominal fullness

Kidney stone\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n(Redirected from Kidney stones)\nJump to: navigation, search\nKidney stone  \nUltrasonic instrument and kidney stone \nICD-10 N200 \nICD-9 592.0 \nDiseasesDB 11346 \nMedlinePlus 000458 \neMedicine med/1600 \nKidney stones, also known as nephrolithiases, urolithiases or renal calculi, are solid accretions (crystals) of dissolved minerals in urine found inside the kidneys or ureters. They vary in size from as small as a grain of sand to as large as a golf ball. Kidney stones typically leave the body in the urine stream; if they grow relatively large before passing (on the order of millimeters), obstruction of a ureter and distention with urine can cause severe pain most commonly felt in the flank, lower abdomen and groin. Kidney stones are unrelated to gallstones.\n\nContents [hide]\n1 Aetiology \n2 Symptoms \n3 Diagnosis & Investigation \n4 Treatment \n5 Secondary Prevention \n6 Famous sufferers \n7 See also \n8 References and notes \n9 External links \n \n\n\n[edit]\nAetiology\nConventional wisdom has held that consumption of too much calcium can aggravate the development of kidney stones, since the most common type of stone is calcium oxalate. However, strong evidence has accumulated demonstrating that low-calcium diets are associated with higher stone risk and vice-versa for the typical stone former.\n\nOther examples of kidney stones include struvite (magnesium, ammonium and phosphate), uric acid, calcium phosphate, or cystine (found only in people suffering from cystinuria). The formation of struvite stones is associated with the presence of urease splitting bacteria (Klebsiella, Serratia, Proteus, Providencia species) which can split urea into ammonia, most commonly Proteus mirabilis.\n\n[edit]\nSymptoms\nKidney stones are usually asymptomatic until they obstruct the flow of urine. Symptoms can include acute flank pain (renal colic), nausea and vomiting, restlessness, dull pain, hematuria, and possibly fever if infection is present. Acute renal colic is described as one of the worst types of pain that a patient can suffer from. But there are also people who have no symptoms until their urine turns bloody—this may be the first symptom of a kidney stone. The amount of blood may not be sufficient to be seen, and thus the first warning can be microscopic hematuria, when red blood cells are found in the microscopic study of a urine sample, during a routine medical test.\n\n[edit]\nDiagnosis & Investigation\nDiagnosis is usually made on the basis of the location and severity of the pain, which is typically colic in nature (comes and goes in spasmodic waves). Radiological imaging is used to confirm the diagnosis and a number of other tests can be undertaken to help establish both the possible cause and consequences of the stone. Ultrasound imaging is also useful as it will give details about the presence of hydronephrosis (swelling of the kidney - suggesting the stone is blocking the outflow of urine). It will also show the 10% of stones that do not have enough calcium to be seen on x-rays (radio-opaque stones).\n\nThe relatively dense calcium renders these stones radio-opaque and they can be detected by a traditional X-ray of the abdomen that includes Kidneys, Ureters and Bladder—KUB. This may be followed by an IVP (Intravenous Pyelogram)(IVU - IntraVenous Urogram is the same test by another name) which requires about 50ml of a special dye to be injected into the bloodstream that goes straight to the kidneys and helps outline any stone on a repeated X-ray. These can also be detected by a Retrograde pyelogram. Computed tomography, a specialized X-ray, is by far the most accurate diagnostic test for the detection of kidney stones.\n\nInvestigations typically carried out include:\n\nMicroscopic study of urine, which may show proteins, red blood cells, pus cells, cellular casts and crystals. \nCulture of a urine sample to exclude urine infection (either as a differential caus

I had my first (and hopefully last) kidney stone a couple of months ago. It started out with a general upset stomach sort of thing - felt like I might have diarrhea. I took Pepto Bismol (bad idea) and threw up a couple of times (so hard that I burst several small blood vessels around my eyes - it looked like I had red freckles). The pain increased but was concentrated on my left side, just below my ribcage, both front and back. I couldn't be still - I couldn't stand, sit, lie down, lean over, kneel, crouch, lay on my back with my feet up on the wall - believe me, I tried every position I could think of. The pain became excruciating and I finally went to the emergency room (where I sat for several hours). They did a CT scan and it showed the kidney stone. By the time I met with a doctor, the pain had receded quite a bit. They gave me a prescription for Vicodin, instructions to make an appointment with a urologist, and a stupid little plastic funnel with a screen so I could strain my urine and catch the little bugger if I passed it on my own. I ended up having minor surgery to remove it two days later.\n\nThe urologist told me that I would feel the worst pain when the stone was leaving the kidney and entering the ureter, then when it passed over a bundle of blood vessels near my pelvic bone, again when it entered my bladder, and again when it exited my bladder and made its bid for freedom.\n\nSo that was the long answer to your question. The short answer is PAIN. Lots and lots of pain concentrated on one side or the other, often in your back. Excruciating pain that literally makes you beg for your mommy.

Hi!Drink a lot of water and that's #1.The more fluids/water you drink, the least likely you are to developer stones and flush out the ones you have.That is very important. Cut down on the amount of dairy you take in. Apply a hot compress over the kidney and /or painful areas, or better yet, take a bath with 8 drops of any of the following 100% pure aromatherapy oils:lavender,orange,fennel (or if you want a blend, use a combo of 4 each. Hope you feel better!

Being a veteran of around 10 kidney stones, the only suggestion I have is to drink alot of fluids, mostly clear fluids. 10mm is a very large stone and may not pass through the uretha tube.  Go to a urologist and have him do some more x-rays. Perhaps the whirlpool bath is what you need. The vibrations will break up the stone and make them more readily passable. It is a surgical procedeure that I had to  go through once.

I recently passed a KIDNEY stone. There is a tube, called the ureter, that connects the kidney to the bladder. It is very, very thin and lined with nerves. Imagine a little elf hacking his way out with a razor blade. I was on the verge of throwing up it was so painful. I had to be hospitalized. Prescription pain killers were not enough relief.\n\nMoral of the story - drink lots and lots of water and avoid the build up of calcium in the kidney. Oh ya, and don't eat stones.

yes, dizziness, lightheaded, drowsy, tired, nausea, diarrhea, leg pain, vision problems. Most if not all go away once your body gets used to the medication. If not discuss with your doctor. I also take this medication, but you can get it in the generic form called Atenolol which is alot cheaper.

I am an alternative medicinal therapist and an ex nurse and i can tell you that you DO have stones. Pain in the back is a common sign and so is blood in the urine. Stop worrying you don't have cancer. They can either dissolve them by sound waves or by tablets and they may remove them by an op(but they don't like to do this unless is becomes life threatening) You will get terrible pain if they try to leave the kidneys, so be prepared.If this happens get to the E R.\n\nGloria(BSYA)\ngloriashealth@btinternet.com

You seem to have severe constipation too. First treat it with the green vegitables and salads.\nHoemorrhoids will suffer while passing stools but scars on large intestine will cause such pains.\nPain of kidney stone is shooting pain, intestinal scars will cause burning sensation.

My family has history of kidney stone and bladder stones.  It was very very painful for them as well as the relatives that took care of them watching them suffer.\n\nIt has then become a family practice to avoid these problems, so hopefully I can be some kind of help here.\n\nKidney stone or any kind of stone development is partly due to eating habit and behavior pattern.  So watchout on your diet and how you move about the day should solve this problem completely.\n\nThe stone is due to deposit of minerals in your body, most likely in your urine fluid.  There are also bacteria in your urine that will convert your urine into ammonia, which will help form these stones in your Kidney or bladder.  The stone takes anywhere from 4-6 years to form, as long as you take care of youself it shouldn't happen to you.\n\nYou should watching out your mineral intake such as calcium and magnesian (salt), just keep it balance and don't eat too much of it.  That should lower your mineral deposit in your fluid.  But don't go on a low-calcium diet, otherwise your body will be lack of calcium and other problem will arises.\n\nYou should also watch out for sitting down for a long period of time, since it will slow down your blood circulation in your lower back (kidney) area, just remember to get up and walk around for 5-10 mins every 45-60mins to help your blood circulate.  \n\nAlso if you sit down in a chair and lay back your back, it creates pressure / tension in your lower back part of your body.  Try not to lay backward when you sitting down and instead sit straight, a good posture would help your blood flow and ease tension in your lower back.\n\nYou also need to drink enough water during the day.  Having water constantly flowing through your body will dilute your urine and help your body get rid of mineral deposit through daily urine discharge.  \n\nBy diluting your urine you also decrease the chance of the bacteria converting your urine into ammonia, since your urine is not that concentrated and not much to convert.\n\nThe last thing to do is exercise regularly, like jogging / swimming or some kind of sport 2-3 times a week to keep the body in shape.  A good cardiovascular exercise that would boost blood circulation will definitely help you prevent any disease.\n\nHope this helps.
