I have chronic. No one knows anything about this. Took 24 years to get diagnosed. Went to my aortic valve, have a cow valve now. Severely disabled. Old instruction cant see cant pee, is nonsense, needs to be revised!

I had a kidney stone that caused strictures in my urethra, worst stricture was like peeing through fishing line. My bladder would spasm when peeing since was blocked. I had it for over year and then got a large kidney stone that blocked urine flow between kidney and bladder and it backed up into my kidney, think it was backing up for awhile then got really bad to point, it felt like my kidney was being removed when pain hit, worst pain in my life my bp went to 190/90, blood sugar 190 fasting, high cholesterol, temperature. Kidney semi shut down and even random ekg results showed rhythm was off. A Few months before this I noticed pee was a almost dark teal color and was having hip and foot pain. Urolgist did optilume surgery, basically catheter with balloon and chemo drug to prevent scarring once stricture was opened up. Worked great and zero issues, except, ever since, my ankles are very sore/painfully when standing up after sitting, hip pain laying down, knee pain, wrist pain, some shoulder pain. I never had pain like that before and came on all at once. After walking around the pain turns to aches, but still there. Could this be Reactive Arthritis?
