I was in the emergency room 2 days ago in great pain - lower right back, plus difficulty urinating and pressure in bladder area, plus waves of nausea. They diagnosed a small kidney stone through a CT scan. They have me a strainer to catch it, and said its ejection is imminent. The problem is, its been over two days, and it hasnt come out. The pain is completely gone. All I see the the strainer are what look like tiny soft black pieces of fabric. Nothing solid. What should I do at this stage?
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist, i can understand your concern. You should've written the size of the stone and your age. Most probably, you would've passed the stone by now. You continue to Chat Doctor. You get pain only if stone moves and nausea, when stone blocks' kidney. Now you don't have either of these symptoms. So that's a good sign. Wish you well.
