Urethral stent
|
|
Anyone had one?
Had a kidney stone removed this morning via laser up the knob (fortunately under a general anaesthetic) and they put a stent in my urethra between left kidney and bladder for a few weeks.
Am now in the worst pain I have ever, ever known and pissing black with clotted bits in it. Hospital said there would be "some discomfort and may pass a little blood", but fuck me this is way beyond that.
So if anyone has had one, is this normal, or do I heed Mrs C's worrying and head to A&E?
Thanks in advance Dr WHO

I have some medical training but have no personal experience of this. I'd be worried that it's blocked so I'd get to A&E asap.
Hope everything is ok.

And to add to that, NEVER ask WHO for medical advice. If unsure, get yourself down the hospital sharpish son.

Just passed a bit more stone debris (and nearly passed out it smarted so much), pain level now dropping rapidly.
Please let that be the last of it!

Yes had this done Joe unfortunately couldn't get my stent out so had to have another operation to remove it.
When ever I have been discharged, the advice has always been to ring back to the ward where you were in hospital, if you have any problems A&E will only consult with them, so ring them up and they will advise, in the meantime co codamol is your best friend and good luck.

Do ring the hospital, what you are having might be normal (as painful as it is) but it might not and the people with access to your notes are definitely the ones to ask. As Charley said, you might, at least, get some painkillers.
I recommend Tramadol (broken elbow six weeks ago) - they work a treat

I had something similar about 10 years ago. Had an operation to remove a large kidney stone and came round with a stent in. Was sent home as if everything was OK.
Was in agony every time I took a piss and pure, frank blood was coming out after.
The wife demanded I get seen by the consultant that day. Turns out that during the original operation they cut out some scar tissue and didn't tell me. It was reopening the scar every time I pissed.
Ended up with a huge tube up my japs eye and 2 weeks with a catheter.
Everything is sorted now, but if you're in pain then make sure you go straight back and get it sorted.

Isn't asking a Doctor a better idea than asking a bunch of no nothings on a football supporters' website.
People here no little about football. Trump knows nothing about being President. Go and ask an expert.

I fucking hope this site gets funding from the NHS to keep it going - WHO must have saved the heath service millions over the years and they could easily have given 111 a swerve, saving them much more.
