I was recently diagnosed with a kidney stone last week measuring 4mm in the proximal ureter with mild hydronephrosis, i had some flank-groin-back pain and also some trouble urinating (burning and too much effort with low volume). I finished my ultrasound that showed the prescence of this stone in the right kidney.
reading most of the posts on the net, i was mentally preparing myself to face the worst pain ever and am in a state of anxiety.
The doctor said that most of them tend to pass on its own and kept me on observation for a week. He prescribed flomax and potassium citrate till then.
Now ever since i have started the medication, the groin-flank has kind of subsided, but only it only burns after i urinate and i feel a fullness in the lower abdomen (where the bladder is) after i urinate. The urine output is also quite low.
Does this mean the stone is still in the ureter or about to enter the ureter or is this the calm before the storm?
i am contemplating uterescopy as i have heard too many shocking details about the pain that one has to endure. Your responses are valued and appreciated
