Or anyone else who wants to chime in on my kidneys and urine?
So today i went for a 15 mile run. Had a bit of back pain, not bad, figured it would loosen up a bit when i warmed up. It didnt. At mile 10, i stopped to pee on a tree and noticed to my horror a stream of blood. I was on a trail 5 miles from home so after a quick assessment i decided to just run home. Once there, i told the ms and we hopped in the car to the er. A bit more pain started setting in and the urine sample i gave the nurse made her eyes widen. A ct scan confirmed kidney stones. Just a couple small ones. 1mm.
This is the 4th time ive had them. Never presented this way though. In the past, i discovered them when it suddenly felt like someone was thrusting a spear into my back and there was never any visible blood in my urine. No way i would have been able to run in that amount of pain.
Yes i drink a ton of fluids. I brought 36 ounces with me on my run today, drank it all, and it wasnt very hot. (1 bottle of nuun and one of water)
I have to schedule a follow up with a urologist. Im just wondering why the hell i get so many of these and how long after i pass them is it safe to run?
After breaking my knuckles last week, and now this, i must have really pissed off karma or lady luck.
who's smarter than you're? i'm!
