Worst 2 pains I ever had, an impacted wisdom tooth that had a cyst under it, and a kidney stone. Passed out from pain from the tooth, almost did with the kidney stone. I was taking my son to the dentist when it hit. But I know how hard it is to get a dental appointment lolol, so I just kept driving, and told him if I pass out to grab the wheel lol. I almost puked from the pain of it when I got there. Lil old lady made me stand, and bend over a chair, with a cold cloth on my neck. And the stone started to pass not long after. I pissed it out when I got the Dr, and the doc said "looks like you cured yourself", and charged ME! lol
I had tooth pain during my second labor. I was actively in labor and my tooth hurt. Guess what was bothering me the most? The fucking TOOTH. I wanted to rip it out of my face.
They had to have someone come up and give me a numbing shot.
This kidney stone shit? It started like 12 years ago. I got rear ended at a red light when I was living in FL. Went to the er because i had whiplash and i was going to sue so i needed medical bill's. They did a CT and told me my kidney "didnt look right".
So naturally i blew it off for about 6 months. Then one night i was painting the condo i lived in. It was then boyfriends condo, he owned it. He let me do whatever I wanted to it. As I was painting it I started getting what I thought was period cramps. But it became more localized to my back. I took tylenol and just kinda dealt with it for several days until boyfriends sister (who was a really good friend from childhood) talked me into going to to the ER because she was sure it was my kidney
Welp it was. I had a giant stone that was in there like some claw. They showed me my CT and my left kidney was huge compared to the one and there was this large mass.
I used to get chronic UTIs as a kid. They said I could have had this stone since childhood. They were amazed that I was okay enough to leave the hospital.
So the urologist that I saw in FL told me I was gonna need a few surgeries. He gave me the option of them cutting into my kidney through my back and getting it that way...or blasting it a few times and letting the pieces pass. I chose the blasting. I thought it would be easier.
Turned out to be a huge fucking mess, the worst mistake. After that first blasting, I ended up right back in the hospital 10 hours later and I had to have a blood transfusion and my body was attacking the stent. It was horrible. I have never been in pain like that before. I was in the hospital for a few weeks and they had to do a couple more procedures.
And this whole process stretched on for years. I ended up dumping the boyfriend, moving back to MI. Ending up in the hospital here where they had to go into my kidney through my back anyway. The urologist I have here told me my FL urologist NEVER should have blasted that stone.
My husband and I were just friends when I was going through all this and he had to have surgery on his hip. He has issues from sports he played growing up. He got some injury that just ended up cause issues. So he helped me a lot and I helped him. And we ended up drug addicts lol.
At this point the function in my kidney improved BUT the bottom lower part of it is trashed from stones and multiple lipthotripsies(blastings). They actually cant blast it anymore, so my urologist wants to remove it. A partial nephrectomy. It's a robotic surgery and it freaks me out.
I've been good for 2 and half years. So I guess this where I need to go ahead and get it done.
My thing is is that I take care of everything. I homeschool. I tend to my mother. I have my teens that help out sure but I have to run the house. I could feel totally fine after this or I could be laid out for a week.....I have no way of knowing.
