my husband had a lithotripsy on Friday. He had severe pain and vomiting yesterday and was in the ER for 4 hours. He was feeling better and now all of a sudden the pain is back and he has the chills and his teeth are chattering. He took his pain meds and is taking a hot bath. Should I take him back to the ER?
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. After a lithography session, i.e. fragmentation of stone, the tube leading from kidney to bladder, can get clogged up with the stone fragments. This leads to pain and omitting in several people. But, having chills, suggest that he may have fever, which requires medication, including antibiotics. This will be decided after your Urologist sees you. Hope you recover soon.
