I had one in Dewsbury hospital yesterday and they found a stone. I asked about what happens next and all I got was a few sheets of something they printed off the internet. Has anybody had a stone sorted? And what am I to expect?
Had 2 small stones. That I felt develop. And settle. Crazy and a little frightening sensation down the side of my face. 1 as big as a match head. Which ended up under my bottom palate. Kept licking my palate and it came through. Still got a small scar tissue. The other a bit more frightening. Side of my neck in a gland. Every time I ate. my neck swelled alarmingly. Doc said. drink pure lemon juice. It may break it up. Or it would have to be surgically removed. Thankfully after a fair bit of the stuff. Over a couple of days. It disappeared.
I had a blocked saliva gland in my youth. Smell any food and I has a fat neck. It was a small stone under my tongue which eventually popped out. The stone I have now is in my bladder, it’s giving me hell. Says on the blurb that they go up the water pipe with a stone crusher and it does say 2 to 3 days in hospital.
Don't envy you. Better out, than in, though mate. Like you the one under my tongue. Popped out due to continuously licking it as it was annoying Took it tut docs in a matchbox. Happened in my early twenties. Never suffered any kind of stones since. (64) Touch wood.
I had kidney stones in 2016, the pain was horrendous, by far the worst pain I've ever had. They put a stent in under general anesthetic which I had for over 8 weeks and was peeing constantly including at the Walsall and Wembley playoff games. It's no fun sitting cross legged for 90 minutes.... In the August I had laser fragmentation treatment followed by another stent which was taken out several weeks later.
