it's possible that you haven't passed all of them.  the reason they hurt is because they are moving through you kidneys, so if you still have pain you may still have some stones moving around.

Fortunately, surgery is not usually necessary, but 12 mm is a big stone so it could be possible. Most kidney stones can pass through the urinary system with plenty of water (2 to 3 quarts a day) to help move the stone along. Often, you can stay home during this process, drinking fluids and taking pain medication as needed. The doctor usually asks you to save the passed stone(s) for testing.  The most common medical treatment is extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). This uses sound waves to break a kidney stone into small pieces. The bits can pass out of your body in your urine. Other times, a doctor will need to remove the stone or place a small metal tube in the ureter to keep it open while stones pass.

see a dr. It could be something to do with your kidneys. I waited 2 weeks with a back ache & then I finally ended up in the ER with other complications. I ended up with a severe kidney infection. I'm in the health care field so I should know better. Don't wait anything that is out of the ordinary should be checked out.

I was 19 when I had a kidney stone.  So this was 14 years ago.  I woke up at 3 am with what I thought was a stitch in my side.  (Side note: I have been kicked by a horse 3 times, never went to the hospital.  My pain tolerance is very high.) \n\nThe pain progressed from there.  By 6 am I was throwing up.  By 6:30am I was in dry heaves.  By 7am I was in the hospital, Mom was trying to understand me to fill out the hospital forms.\n\nThe thing I remember most was the worried look of nurses, as I was white, clammy, and curled in a ball.  They gave me a very strong pain killer shot, and all it did was weaken the pain and knock me out.  So they would wake me to move me to x-rays, and then to get me to uncurl from my pain filled fetal position.  Then again to move me back.  \n\nIt finally reached the bottom of my ureter, but not into the bladder.  Then the pain stopped, this was at 3pm.  24 hours later.  The stone never passed, they had to remove it.  It was the size of grain of uncooked rice.\n\nNot all kidney stones require a visit to the doctor, but some do.  My case did.   \n\nWhat helps?\nDrink more cranberry juice to up your urine acidity or take cranberry pills available at any pharmacy department, including Walmart, CVS, Walgreen etc...

A patient with a kidney stone will say that the most important aspect of treatment is adequate pain relief. Because the pain of passing a kidney stone is so severe, narcotic pain medications (like morphine) are usually required. It is believed that stones may pass more quickly if the patient is encouraged to drink large amounts of water (2-3 quarts per day). If the patient is vomiting or unable to drink because of the pain, it may be necessary to provide fluids through a vein. If symptoms and urine tests indicate the presence of infection, antibiotics will be required. Although most kidney stones will pass on their own, some will not. Surgical removal of a stone may become necessary when a stone appears too large to pass. Surgery may also be required if the stone is causing serious obstructions, pain that cannot be treated, heavy bleeding, or infection. Several alternatives exist for removing stones. One method involves inserting a tube into the bladder and up into the ureter. A tiny basket is then passed through the tube, and an attempt is made to snare the stone and pull it out. Open surgery to remove an obstructing kidney stone was relatively common in the past, but current methods allow the stone to be crushed with shock waves (called lithotripsy).\nThese shock waves may be aimed at the stone from outside of the body by passing the necessary equipment through the bladder and into the ureter. The shock waves may be aimed at the stone from inside the body by placing the instrument through a tiny incision located near the stone. The stone fragments may then pass on their own or may be removed through the incision. All of these methods reduce the patient’s recovery time considerably when compared to the traditional open operation.

Sounds like a urinary tract infection, or a kidney stone. You should probably get it checked out. Just to be sure.

The blood in your urine is probably from the kidney stone.  The kidney stone could be moving which is why you may have pain.  You could also have an ovarian cyst.  If this is the case the Yasmin will help.  I was on this birth control and felt really well when on it.  If you are concerned go back to your doctor, or if pain is getting worse or accompanied by other symptoms such as vomiting, fever, go to the ER.

A urine sample first of all.  Then the Dr may give antibiotics if it is an infection of the bladder, kidneys or unrinary tract.\n\nIf it is not just an infection, it may be kidney stones being passed, although that would be more painful than just burning.\n\nOver the counter help is available such as "ural".  Sometimes drinking lots of pure cranberry juice can help, but see the Dr first.

I am a person with a high uric acid level and one who produces massive amounts of kidney stones please take heed--\n--red meat is a very high source of the problem, things with calcium if stones are covered with calcium---stay away from milk and products with calcium.  Stay away from acidic things such as soda pop.  Do not eat liver but stay oward fish due to fish oils, chicken, turkey, and the other white meat.    Take heed now because if you don't, the future is really not a pleasant one.  My one kidney is only 25% working and the other constantly fills up with stones and every two and a half months I have two stents (tubes) one placed in each kidney to prevent the pain from passing them.\nChange your diet now and ask the doctor for Sodium Bicarb pills or drink one teaspoon of baking soda daily to combat the uric acid level---it really helps and over time, Cranberry juice will dissolve stones and help the uric acid level also. Check with a urologist or nephrologist (kidney specialist before any more time elapses.  Good luck

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!

YOu probably are experiencing phantom pain from passing the stone.  Or, you have more stones.  If they are calcium based, there is a remedy I have heard of that might work.\n\nIf you type it in, on a search , you might find it.  I actually know someone who tried it and it worked for him.\n\nThe stones must be calcium based, (80 plus percent are.)\n\nThe recipe is to drink like 3-5 cans of COKE, ( only coke works due to the phosphoric acid content)\nand then drink a fresh asparagus puree.  Basically steam them a bit and then blend with enough water to get a thick soup.  Need about 8 ounces.  I have heard you can add a bit of salt for taste if you need to.\nI don't remember the exact timeframes, or the exact recipe, but I think recipe is copywrited, and might be difficult to find on the net.\n\nSupposedly, this causes the stones to break up and be passed with ease.\n\nHere is one site I found that claims the recipe.  \nhttp://curezone.com/forums/m.asp?f=20&i=913

Call your doctor ASAP. He/she should be aware of your temperature and the persistence of this pain. You need at the very least a complete work-up, including bloodwork and chest and maybe abdominal X-rays. Don't mess around It could be a million things, some minor or some very major.

Patients who have kidney stones usually do not have symptoms until the stones pass into the ureter. Prior to this, some people may notice blood in their urine. Once the stone is in the ureter, however, most people will experience bouts of very severe pain. The pain is crampy and spasmodic, and is referred to as “colic”. The pain usually begins in the flank region, the area between the lower ribs and the hip bone. As the stone moves closer to the bladder, a patient will often feel the pain radiating along the inner thigh. In women, the pain may be felt in the vulva. In men, the pain may be felt in the testicles. Nausea, vomiting, extremely frequent and painful urination, and obvious blood in the urine are common. Fever and chills usually means that the ureter has become obstructed, allowing bacteria to become trapped in the kidney causing a kidney infection (pyelonephritis).\nAlternative treatments for kidney stones include the use of herbal medicine, homeopathy, acupuncture, acupressure, hypnosis, or guided imagery to relieve pain. Starfruit (Averrhoa carambola) is recommended to increase the amount of urine a patient passes and to relieve pain. Dietary changes can be made to reduce the risk of future stone formation and to facilitate the resorption of existing stones. Supplementation with magnesium, a smooth muscle relaxant, can help reduce pain and facilitate stone passing. Homeopathy and herbal medicine, both western and Chinese, recommend a number of remedies that may help prevent kidney stones.

It could be a kidney stone you are trying to pass.  Contact your doctor.  Do not take chances with your health.  It will be cheaper to see a doctor than pay for an emergency room visit at a later date.
