I do not have health insurance but in June I was hospitalized with an 8 cm kidney stone in the left kidney. They discovered I also have gall stones and bilateral medullary nephrocalicinosis. 2 days ago I started running a low grade fever and have not been able to get it down below 99.5. I am experiencing unbearable pain in my left side that goes all the way to my back. I can not seem to get enough to drink no matter how much water Ive had. It takes a while to urinate. Its to the point I feel almost dizzy just trying to stand. I ve used heating pads and baths and several over the counter pain relievers including Tylenol and naproxen.
Painkillers and fluids, nil by mouth since intake of food will increase the pain. Followed by elective removal of the kidney stone
