Passed 2 kidney stones a couple of weeks ago but continued to experience abdominal 'discomfort' and blood in my urine, especially after I ran. The doc thought it could be another stone or a tumour so sent me for CT scan last week and it showed 4 more kidney stones still in there - whew!
Passed another stone Sunday morning just before my swim workout, so just 3 more to go!
The 'discomfort' for me hasn't been as bad as some report, at one point the pain was quite clear and pure - my friends keeping asking if I have a high tolerance level for pain. Not sure how to answer them...I do triathlons...I like going to the dentist...I like a little slap with my tickle...
