Day 9 on Prednisone - KIDNEY STONE!

[fenway1971]

Last night woke up bloated and in pain. Was afraid something was wrong crohns-wise. Turns out I now have a kidney stone.

Had'em twice before (5 and 10 years ago). I think popping calcium supplements and not drinking enough water killed me this past week. Dropping the calcium supplements now.

Might also explain lack of improved pooping. Kidney spasms do induce diarrhea.

Hope my stone passes soon. Yikes.

I do drink plenty of water but have avoided calcium pills until I see my doc on Tues.

Pain is in left side or right side. Then it gravitates toward front. Kind of like a bad cramp or stitch.

Been a couple days and have caught some really really tiny stones but am waiting for the big one to arrive. Any day now. Yikes!

kidney stones are the worst I get them but I always have to get lithotripsy because mine are always to big to pass my smallest stone was 8mm. I hope that I never get another one.
