U KNOW UR BODY BETTER THAN ANY DR!!
by: Cyn on Tue, Jul 27 2010

Hey people I’m 22 yrs living proof that u can get a stone at any age. In Nov 09. I was diagnosed w a 1mm stone in my right kidney. After a course of about 2 months n 3 trips to the ER the Dr.’s told me I passed the stone n when it passed it caused scraping of the ureter which caused me to have 2 kidney infections! It is now the ending of July 2010: the stone never left. Now I have 2 go for a ureterscopy this week because not only did it grow but the Dr. thinks there’s a 2nd stone stuck in my ureter. All these months I’ve had Dr.’s looking at me like I was crazy. They just kept prescribing me every kind of pill u could think of because I have 2 herniated disks in my cervical spine. They told me it was back pain when I repeatedly told them what I suffered from back in Nov. I was almost hospitalized. Now I’m sharing my story with you. My heart goes to all dealing with this. Wish me luck on Thursday.
