I just had the lithotripsy 2 days ago for a 6mm stone stuck in my ureter (mo stent). 1:36 1:36 1:36 I was under anesthesia. I peed immediately with no pain or blood. Mild cramping from time to time, but nothing horrible. No bruising. The worst part has been recovering from the anesthesia. Slept for 2 days. I’ll go back in another week for a follow up X-ray.

I went thru a SWLip procedure today oct 8. I did not see any visible (unless they are so tiny could hv gone thru strainer) fragmented or colorful stones or even crushy material. Stone was 5 mm thick.

I strained my urine & never found stones, but now 5 weeks later, I'm in pain in my back & both kidneys where I had the treatment.

I had a stent put in earlier this week, which has been a little uncomfortable but no pain. I didn’t have any pain from the stone, only bloody urine. There is a 5.5mm stone stuck in my urethra, another one that size in the kidney, and a larger one in the other kidney. I’m scheduled for shock wave lithotripsy in 3 weeks on one kidney and laser blasting on the other. All these posted comments about pain have me concerned!

I have a 1cm kidney stone my doctor is recommending to have this procedure, is this done with general anestesia?

I was wondering why my eBay notifications kept going off then realised it’s the sound of this video lol

Day 2 after the procedure and I feel like I’ve been hit by a Mack truck

[wetfish]

Why do some patients wake up with a stent while others do not after going through a shockwave therapy ?

[abuubayda]

When do the stones pass? Do they pass while you have the stint in or after is removed?

[Gian-ni]

The hospitals that I contacted, don't do any Anesthesia, not even local; which is no prob for me. But they said that pre-operation it's mandatoy to do a blood withdrawal and coagulation test. I don't understand why that is, since the procedure doesn't require cutting, nor anesthesia. Is the blood test really mandatory?
