Two weeks ago on the 28th of Jan. in E.R. for
lower abd pain. Said I had an infection. Wed.
the 31st they did a CT dx. 2.3 mm calsifiation
left uretur. Then another Radiolist said he saw
nothing, while I am still bleeding, they gave me
antispasm which helps. Feb. 2nd Had Left Rotator
Cuff repair, went home onthe 3rd. Lyme Dr.
insisted that I had to spend one night for pain
management cuz of major Herxing following
surgery. Went back to E.R. on Feb 5th still
peeing blood. The Hospital called me today
because they are concerned with the conflicting
CT readings. I told them I am still having the
same problem. So my question is how common is it
to have Kidney Stones Bladder Spasms with severe
abd. pain. Any treatments I need to know about?
I have a very opened mind re; Eastern Meds and
Western Meds. Please Help...
Sincerely
Annie

* rest rest and REST~!*&)*!))*!!!!!!
It may just be aftereffects from surgery stirring up your body- hope so*)!!! Best wishes, Sarah

I would follow through with your doctors, but you mention kidney stones and I know of two cases where bartonella was believed to be the cause of kidney stones. One of these folks had repeated kidney stones which required surgery.
They have recently found nanobacterium (very tiny microorganisms)related to these diseases and which appear to cause kidney stones.
Bartonella and Brucella strains have been discovered in large ruminants such as cattle, deer, elk, etc. (hence can be passed to humans via tick bites)
You might want to mention it to your doctors. I believe an analysis of kidney stones could determine their cause.
If you do a google search for kidney stones and bartonella you will find some info.
Sounds like you have certainly had your challenges of late and I do hope you will soon be out of the woods!

Thank you so much with all the needed info. I
will definately speak to my LLMD to get his
opinion because it seams with my research, so
many Dr's do not know what causes them. And
yesterday out of the blue the hospital arranged
for me to come in and have another CT scan. AT
NO CHARGE to me. Turns out that I do have a
stone and it has moved since the last scan and I
also have another one in my L. kidney. So there
is a lot ahead of me. And Physical Therapy,
which I had no idea it was going to hurt this
bad. TY again for all your info.

Can they do lithotripsy to break up the stones so they can move out of your kidneys and pass out of your body?
Thats where they put you in a warm bath and use sound waves to break up kidney stones.
Supposed to be non-painful and non-evasive. Except that the technician gets to see you in your bathing suit.
That would be pain enough for me...ha ha.
Hope you get some relief soon.
