You guys have convinced me to go see if I might have some stones. Chronic pain has become pretty bad and while it is mostly from legs and spine, I'd be happy if it dropped a couple notches of intensity. If removing a stone helps then I'm going to check. Last stones I had removed weren't painfull. The removal hurt a bit since we didn't use any anesthesia, but get worse pain from my left knee when it rains. I hate to change the topic, but I have a new neighbor that is a quad from a traumatic brain injury. I told him about the group. I don't know if he will get on or not. He seems to use the internet for porn mostly. His name is Ted. He gets upset if you call him bullethead.

Hey Dan, Yea I had some pretty bad pain for weeks after but it slowly eased up also I used to sweat like crazy when I had the stone and a uti and it happened at least once a month but haven't had to sweat or uti so far. Glad you're back home and I took vicadin also for the pain which did help but didn't get rid of it and I still have pain but not nearly as intense as it used to be so happy healing and let us know how you come along.

My Doc was going to make an incission to get it out but decided to go with laser method. The Doc said he had to try and flush out the pieces because my ( urethra's ) were obliverated --- he could not get a wire thru there, and that was how he was gonna remove the pieces. Has anyone had this happen to them ?? { I have had a supra-pubic catheter about 6 years now and not sure if that is a common occurance with having a supra-pubic.} { Also to MARK or others who may have had this same procedure done in recent past.......did you keep having pain and some bleeding afterward ? } My bleeding has pretty much stopped now except a bit at times and mostly during the night., but i'm still having lots of pains like ! from bladder or lower gut area.....hope that gets better, I have been taking a lot of ! vicadins.
