Well i had a thorough visit with a urologist. Ive been having right flank pain. Since ive had a history of kidney stones the dr prescribed tamsulosin. This medicine is to help with passing and tiny stones that causing pain in my kidney. The dr said there was blood in my urine but not an infection. Thats why he is thinking stones. Since i have crohns and family history of stones that puts me at high risk of stones. I sure hope this med gets rid of my kidney pain. I feel like im finally having drs listened to me and iim getting some answers.

Glad that you finally found someone to listen to you and try to figure out the source of your pain. Hopefully, the new med puts an end to your pain. You have been suffering a lot lately.

Hang in there :/

Did the urologist verify that you had stones? He should have ordered an ultrasound. If you do have stones to pass, you might want to know how many there are, and more importantly what size.

Urologist called me today and said he wants to run some more tests on my kidneys. I was perfectly healthy til i got crohns. Now my whole body is falling apart

That pretty much describes me, @Bucko. I even got an award in high school for never having a single sick day the entire four years.

Bucko,

I hope you get answers for your issues and that none of your issues are overwhelming.

Ditto on the body falling apart. I was healthy until I developed Crohns. Now it is one thing after another.

Hope you feel better soon.
