Went to the hospital w/severe PAIN!!!!!!!

[omi212]

Woke up at 3 AM on Tuesday morning w/alot of vomiting and diareah. The pain got worse on my lower back. Was rushed to the hospital to emergancy. It was an unbelivable PAIN. They had to give me morphine. They put me to a CT scan and saw a stone that passed the utero and also found a 4mm stone that's non obstructive. After this incident i noticed that i have been urinating some kind of debri or small particles looks like sand kinda. The color is like light orange. Very small, i was able to pick one up and crushed it with my nail and it dissolve like sand. I don't know if this is the 4mm stone they saw on the ct scan that is dissolving, what do u think? Is 4mm small or big to pass? will i still feel the same pain again with this 4 mm stone? I've been drinking alot of water and cran berry daily. I still feel uncomfort on my back. I just want this to go away, i feel like this is a nightmare that never ends, someone please advice!!!!!.

Doctor, I just came from Urologist and he told me that was'nt necessary to do the cystoscopy since he already have the ct scan report from the hospital. I gave him the stone that i passed and he will take to the lab for analysis. I do have a 4 mm stone on my left side. This morning before i went to the doctors i noticed again some kind of debri or crystal sand; the color is like light orange, he told me it's probably from the stone that it may be dissolving. also, this time he found small amout of blood in my urine. The last time i went it was moderate but now he says it's getting better. I still feel uncomfort on my back. It's like some kind of needle that's pinching me, comes and go. I drink alot of water/cran berry/lemonaide.
what do u think i should do now. If the stone does come out will i still endure that pain i had before when i went to the hospital?

Hi,
About 90% of stones 4 mm or less in size usually will pass spontaneously, however 99% of stones greater than 6 mm will require some form of intervention.[20] There are various measures that can be used to encourage the passage of a stone. These can include increased hydration, medication for treating infection and reducing pain, and diuretics to encourage urine flow and prevent further stone formation.
In most cases, a smaller stone that is not symptomatic is often given up to four weeks to move or pass before consideration is given to any surgical intervention .
The fact that you are still experiencing pain means you have not passed the stone.You are advised to keep a watch on urine and note passage of the stone.
Apart from this, continue to do what you are and take medications when the pain gets unbearable.
