Suggest Treatment For Abdominal Pain Due To Kidney Stones
Question: My wife has passed many kidney stones in the recent years. Lately, she is plagued with kidney pain on the left side but no stones are found/detected. She often is able to catch sand like particles in her urine and is getting really frustrated. This weekend, she took a trip with my son and has been in pretty sever pain with notice-able yellowing in her eyes. She is Hawaiian and so it is hard to tell if the skin is also yellowing as she is naturally golden brown in skin tone. Often the sand in the urine also come is mild blood (red) in the urine or on the toilet paper when she wipes. She is constantly fatigued and is in good physical condition as she has stayed very active when ever she isn't doubled over in pain. She is a personal trainer and teaches a kick boxing aerobics class at the gym twice a week. Any help or direction is appreciated as we just seem to get the same answers from the urologist every time despite saving the stones (sand) to show them what is passing almost daily. We are at a loss and getting frustrated. Thanks in advance.
