Some of you might recall my posts in May regarding Kidney Stones.
Well, after an unsuccessful 6 weeks of waiting for a 9mm torpedo shaped stone to pass naturally with the aid of some drugs, I was back in the hospital for day surgery to have the stone blasted with ultrasound. This was successful but left me very sore and with a temporary stent in my Ureter where the stone was stuck.
2 weeks on, today I had the stent removed so now begin a few days recovery and hopefully a return to normality because the stent caused constant discomfort and made me feel like I needed to wee every 5 minutes!
Both procedures were carried out via my Urethra so my avoidance message to you all (male, female or neutral) is to drink lots of fluids (lemon water is best apparently) and watch your salt and sugar intake to reduce the chance of stones forming in your kidneys.
I am now looking forward to getting out on my bikes asap
I don’t care to mention how many renal stone procedures I have participated in… You do yourself a disservice to call it torpedo shaped… I have seen very few renal stones that are smooth
