Moms, has anyone here had kidney stones?

Hi moms! Just wondering if anyone here has experienced kidney stones before? I’ve been having quite a bit of pain around my side and back lately and I’m starting to wonder if it could be kidney stones.

For those who had them before, what was it like and did you go straight to see a doctor? I’m also wondering what kind of treatment you had and how long it took before you felt better. Any advice or experiences would be really appreciated!

Yes mom! I actually had kidney stones before and decided to get them checked because I’m quite conscious about my body and didn’t want to risk leaving it untreated, especially since I have a child to take care of. I ended up having the stones removed. Definitely glad I didn’t just ignore the pain and hope it would go away on its own!

Hi! Yes, I actually had kidney stones before and ended up having them removed with Dr Michael Wong. I remember the pain being really uncomfortable, so I’m glad I decided to get it checked instead of just waiting it out. He also gave me advice on being more mindful about what I eat and drink, which I’ve been trying to follow since then. It definitely made me more conscious of my diet and lifestyle. If you’re experiencing similar symptoms, I’d say it’s better to get yourself checked too rather than ignore it.
