Worried about my kidney stone
I got an ultrasound December 2025 that showed multiple kidney stones 4mm. This was missed by my nephrologist because I was never given any treatment (my previous nephrologist gave out me on potassium citrate after any stones). Fast forward, I got an X-ray in May 2026 and it showed a 9.2mm kidney stone.
I made an appointment to see a urologist but they referred me to a CT scan to get a true accuracy reading before any interventions. My CT scan is in 3 days (5 days since my urology appointment) and my follow up urology appointment to review the results is Friday (9 days since my urology appointment and 4 days from my CT scan). I REALLLLY HOPE that the urologist will do something for it because I CAN NOT delay treatment to be referred to another specialist for treatment because the urology office doesn’t do the procedure that I need.
It’s only been 3 days since my urology appointment, he did a physical test and I felt no pain. Literally the next night, I started getting heavy dull pressure pain on the side of my kidney stone. And today, I got very sharp pains. I’m getting very scared and anxious that the stone is really 9.2mm, moving, and that the office will not offer the treatment I need. I have very limited PTO, so I can’t call out. I’ve been going to work with this pain because it’s tolerable so far.
