On the saturday 9th January I had a stent put in. On leaving the hospital I was given no information of after care, just told that the bleeding should stop in a few days and as long as it is rose colour all was ok. Well believe me I have had a few scares, if i was informed properly then maybe I would not have been so scared. the bleeding continued for 3 days, the pain in my back from the stent was unreal, pacing the floor, lasting for over an hour at times.
Then on the friday night, i had so much pain that i almost called an ambulance. But it died of after 2hrs.
Saturday morning I started bleeding again and felt quiet week, not to sure if this was panick due to the bleeding.
I went to the out of hours doctor who prescribed me some antibiotics and said that he was not concerend of the bleeding it was the pain he was more concerend with. And if it was to continue the following day then I had to go back.
Well it never, the bleeding stopped, yes i had what i call stent pain after peeing but seemed to last for few seconds then was gone.
From then on things seemed to be ok "just stent pain" I even reduced on pain killers.
Then yesturday i felt groggy, but not in pain.
But today i have started bleeding again and feel in slight pain down below and my lower back.
I am still not sure if i have passed the stone. Its only 5mm, but after having the stent put in I was stold that it would not have been shifting by itself due to my tube being so tight?
I am due to see my consultant friday, I am so conerend that he is going to tell me I cannot go on holiday. I am due to fly on tuesday 31st.
Is it normal to contine feeling like this. Should I ask for another xray to check the stent is in place properly still?
Also does anyone know if I am able to still scuba dive?
Thank you for taking time on reading this and I hope someone can advise me :)
