Living with Kidney Stones

I sympathize with all of you. I am in pain now, It is constant and in my right mid back that extends under the right rib cage. ^6 weeks almost non stop. In 2003, I had CT scan of abdomen for other reasons and it showed a 6mm “soemthing: in the left ureter. I do not remeber having pain in the kidney area. GYN sent me to a urolgist and he said it is a stone and is too big to pass and too big for Lithoscopy so must have a general anesthesia and a stent placed to remove this stone. Biopsy showed a 7mm Oxlate Calcium stone.

I am concerend about this 6 weeks now of pain in my mid right back. My Cardio doc took a Cahest X-ray and Basic metabolism. All negative. I called a gastro doc and they ordered an Ultrasound of the abdomen and Liver and Kidney enzymes. All normal. No stone showed up, they said yesterday. No one ordered a urinalysis but I do have some burning (tolerable) after urinating. The Urologist I used in 2002 has since retired to California. He was Great! Too many horror stories about urolgists roughbness on the females so I am scared now. Isn;t there a CT spiral scan of the kidney better than an Ultrasound to show if there is a kidney stone? This pain causes breathlessness. Thanks for any help.
