Pregnancy Info HOME

I guess you don't know if a stent will work for U until U get one. What tmdinan said happened to her-w-the stone calcifying around the stent scares me. I've already had a kidney completely stop working because of k-stone blockage & it was many painful mo's until it started breaking up-w-the use of Uva Ursi.

What U had to say annelmama about UR stones and constipation is very interesting. I've had severe constipation issues for about 4-5 yrs now, where I sometimes don't have a bowel movement for over a wk & I will be eating lots of fiber and fruits to try to move things along and I often have to resort to taking a laxative. Then that either doesn't work immediately or works too well,lol.

When I think about it, I have these severe constipation incidences every time I have a stone passing from little stones to the major ones that have had me bed ridden and projectile vomiting from the pain.

In my case there is a lot to get sorted out first before I will feel comfortable-w-TTC, however I'm really wanting to be a mom soon. I guess my cats will have to fill that void a bit longer. I worry that a baby crowding everything internally when pregnant would just further complicate all these issues for now. So, I'm giving myself a 1 yr plan to get in good health first.

Thx for UR replies, it's very helpful. If my Chanca Piedra doesn't work and I opt to get surgery or that ultrasonic wan thingy done, I'm wondering what's the best one to choose that will completely clear all blockages out and isn't as invasive.
