Passing a Kidney Stone- Is what I'm experiencing normal or at least somewhat common?

by mrssiordia06, Sep 18, 2009 07:59AM
I'm a relatively healthy 5'4" 24 yr old woman 207 lbs.
My husband took me to the ER last friday and I had been vomiting every few minutes for about three straight hours.  I had been experiencing cramping that I thought was menstrual related for a week and Friday I woke up and it was unbearable.  Long story short, they tested for everything and discovered that I was passing a 2mm kidney stone.  I'd had multiple kidney infections when i was between about 5 and 9 yrs old.  They said to expect to pass it by Monday, which I'm pretty positive I did late Sunday night (I had to rush to the bathroom and missed peeing into the colander thing, but saw a little oblong thing sitting at the bottom of the toilet after.

So that was five days ago and since then I've had some very very mild discomfort in my urethra, but not bad enough that my husband and I felt we needed to put off sex.  When I woke up ths morning (Friday), I've had this constant sensation to urinate.  And so I've been rushing to the bathroom almost every 10 or so minutes, only to let go of about a Tbs of urine at a time and feel, not so much pain, but an urge to give a big "push" and then be met by sort of a sharp soreness around the whole private area.

My question is, is this common to experience?  Could sex have irritated it?  What are some things that are normal to experience after passing a kidney stone?
