Help! I just read all these posts and felt major relief. I was beginning to think I was a hypercondriac or a whiner. Here is my situation. I'm 28yrs & 26wks pg (girl). In april (@15 weeks pg) I was hospitalized with a kidney stone. I had a stent put in (right side) but was told my urologist could not find the stone. I was released 2 days later and have had all the pain that goes along with the stent. On June 12 I went to our local urgent care because I am so sick of the ER and my doctors acting like I am imagining my pain and nothing is wrong. The Dr. @ urgent care sent me immediatly over to the University Hosp (different from where i usually go) cause My urine was nasty and I had 300+ protein in it too. So they admitted me for contractions (stopped them),pain management basically and for a UTI, overnight. The next day the Dr (OB intern),my OB has no priv at this hosp, and the attending urologist (who spoke to my urologist) basically dismmissed and what was going on entirely and released me on percocet and macrobid. I stopped the macrobid yesterday but for the past few days have had major flank pain, abdominal pain, chills, vomitting, awful nausea but basically no fever (i seldom get fevers with kidney infections) and contractions that manage to g away on thier own. I can barely even tolerate water. Also I should add, I can't seem to pee and when i do it brings me to my knees, earlier it was very bloody and cloudy but now its just cloudy w/ faint pinkness. My stent removal surgery is scheduled for tuesday the 28th. What do you think I should do. I hate going to the ER because they admit me and then after that they treat me like I'm full of shit (usually my OB and the urologist) or just want the pain meds or something which in turn convinces my hubs that it is in my head too. Should I call the on-call URO or my OB (hate him) and see what i should do or should i hold out until tuesday even though I am having the mild contractions? I am tired of being treated like a drug crazed hypocondriac. Any advice would be wonderful. I can't take this pain. Thanks.
