Have Diabetic Type II And Kidney Stone Removal. Has A Ureteral Stent. Fell & Cracked A Rib. Now Paining. Treatment?

hi there, my husband is a diabetic type II and had kidney stone removal surgery through cytoscopy on april 9th. he has a ureteral stent in place. he ended up having a fall and cracking a rib an the opposite side nearly two weeks ago and since has had similar kidney pain on the left side very similar to his kidney stone pain. he has attended his own dr and the local A&E who discharged him stating a sotne could not be found and neother could an infection but to double his dose of ciplox 250 mg. his thirst is off the wall and his sugars are high 11.4 mmol/l in the past half hour. what could be causing these sympthoms??

Hello,
Since kidney stone and urine infection has been ruled out by the doctors,then most likely cause for pain should be the local muscular pain which might have been brought about by the rib fracture.
Take oral anti inflammatory muscle relaxants for few days.
I think it should settle down.Failure of settling of pain would necessitate further investigation for the cause.
As far as your high sugars are concerned,rib fracture has no role in it.
It means that you are not keeping your sugar levels normal and tjis could be due to taking more calorie,not taking your medicines regularly or may be oral anti diabetics are loosing their effect.
You must talk to your doctor and revise your prescription of anti diabetics drugs and be careful in your diet intake.
Increased thirst is due to uncontrolled diabetes.
Thanks
