So...I hate my kidneys

SweetPeaKate

A friend of mine had kidney stones and stenting I believe a week before her baby shower. Hope your situation resolves itself with the most comfortable outcome for you.

I'm sorry you are having to go through this Peanut. Sending hugs and kidney punches.

@fredtheredhead2, haha, please! No kidney punches right now! Even touching them hurts. (Well, the one on the right anyway. Leftie is doing ok for now.)

@peanutmuse We'll call them hypothetical punches, since they are being assholes and causing you so much trouble

Sorry peanut. I hope you get feeling better soon.

As many of you know, I was diagnosed with kidney stones last Thursday.

Today, I had a detailed ultrasound of my kidneys. I have multiple stones in both sides and one on the left is so large that it likely won't be able to pass.  Fortunately, it doesn't look like that one is moving yet, but it's a ticking time bomb. On my right side -- in addition to the stones -- urine is backing up into the kidney (hydronephrosis) and no urine is dumping from my right kidney into the bladder at all (at least not while she was watching it for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, the left side dumped 5-6 times a minute.) I'm waiting to hear from my OB about what's up next.

Awesome.

Oh yeah, and I failed my 1 hr GTT by one point. I wish I had done it earlier because I hadn't eaten much for several days before hand (due to kidney stone pain), and I think if I had had a normal diet, I wouldn't have failed. So now I have to do the 3 hr. I wouldn't have posted about that by itself, it just adds to my shitty day.

Ugh I'm sorry you have to deal with this, especially when pregnant. When are you doing your three hour?

So that blows!  So sorry to hear that.  I hope the big stone stays put and you get through this with the least amount of pain possible.  Boo hiss!!  

Good luck in the 3 hour!  Hope you catch a break soon!

Boo. Sorry for sucky kidneys and having to do the 3 hour GTT test.

Kidney stones and 3-hour glucose tests can suck it. Sorry peanut.

I'm sorry, that's a world of suck right there. I hope they can find you some relief.

Ugh - so sorry you're dealing with all
of this. Certainly not a good start to the week. Hope your OB has some workable advice for ya!
