Nice, good to hear it! It may not be as long term as LIS but it should at least be good for something... Fingers crossed for ya.

Hi Kyriakos
How are you going?
Still less tighter down there?

hey lars, i havent been focusing on the fissures because i just found out the supppositories the hospital gave me on repeat prescription have given me 3 kidney stones so ive been in hospital for a week!!! fissures cause everything bad....lol are u healed?

Kyriakos,
That just stinks. Have never heard of such a connection! :roll:

Holy cow! What kind of suppositories were they?

I've had kidney stones and the pain was worse than a fissure (believe it or not), I was given morphine to control the pain, prior to that I was vomiting and screaming out it hurt that much, turned out that a stone had got stuck in my ureta (the tube leading from my kidney) and it had torn the tube slightly, scary wasn't the word!! I had to have a couple of procedures, one was called retrograde studies where they feed a tiny camera into your urethra and up into the kidney to evaluate any damage or more stones, the other procedure I had to have die injected then had special x-rays of the kidneys (pyelogram) to see if they was functioning properly, eventually I passed the stone through the normal way but this was like urinating shards of glass, overall a very very scary experience, I still have no idea why they didn't remove the stone manually instead of letting nature take it's course

They use lipthotripsy over here for kidney stones--radio waves to break up the stones.

They do that here now apparently, but only if they consider the stone(s) too big to pass through the ureta and urethra, in my case anyway, they must have known I could pass it once it had resided in my bladder

ugh, i so remember passing a kidney stone when i was 26!!!!
thank God that hasn't happened since then.
hopefully that will be the last one you need to pass naturally ever!
i hope u r feeling better stevepain.

laxative abuse is one of the causes of kidney stones....they were only glycerin suppositories but ive been using 2 everyday for 2 years and i had to be put on morphine too but they told me the stone was only 2mm so i should pass it ok i bet its gona hurt like hell still
