etcswjoe Posted July 21, 2012 Share #1 Posted July 21, 2012 Having motorcycle withdrawals bad, started passing a 6MM kidney stone 3 weeks ago and still working at it and since then I have had a bad kidney infection, a allergic reaction to the antibiotics for the infection and now double vision doc says its a side effect of the meds for the nausea. Doc will not break it up because it is not blocking me up I don't think he has ever had a kidney stone or maybe I am just being a big baby. I can deal with the pain and the nausea but the double vision has me concerned so I am wondering if anyone else has had double vision due to a medication or should I get a third opinion? Thanks for letting me rant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidley Posted July 21, 2012 Share #2 Posted July 21, 2012 Joe, I have had a couple of Kidney Stones....Holy Sheot! I have had some pain in my life, but that one sucked the most. Your not being a baby, and your Doc probably hasn't had them. I didn't experience your issues, but I had to let mine pass on their own. Those will bring any man to his knees. I wish you the best on getting it out, you'd be amazed how much that little stone hurts getting out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yama Mama Posted July 21, 2012 Share #3 Posted July 21, 2012 Sorry about all the bad things happening to you. The only time I ever saw my Dad cry was when he has kidney stones. I know the pain is very bad. As far as the double vision, is it constant or does it come and go. It would seem like they could try you on a different medication so you do not suffer from that.

I wish you the best on getting it out, you'd be amazed how much that little stone hurts getting out Jeez Squidley. You need to man up. A little screaming, crying, wanting to really hit something, and sucking up the oxycodone is good for the sole. And as they say, what doesn't kill you (even though you swear you would need to die to feel better) makes you stronger. And you really haven't lived until a stone blocks the urinary tract.....

Good to meet you today and hope you get better real fast so you can enjoy the trailer.Since you are seeing double I went back and recounted the money for the trailer to make sure you didn't pay double.LOL no pun intended.

GAWildKat Posted July 21, 2012 Share #7 Posted July 21, 2012 When I was in the hospital a couple or so yrs ago for the so called pancreatitis episode (I really had the flu) The antinausea med I was given caused double vision as well. I'd demand the doc swap that med out, the double vision problem can become permanent in some people. I also suggest seeing another doc about breaking up the stone.

etcswjoe Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share #8 Posted July 21, 2012 And you really haven't lived until a stone blocks the urinary tract..... That's how I got the infection it was backing every thing up. When I was in the hospital a couple or so yrs ago for the so called pancreatitis episode (I really had the flu) The antinausea med I was given caused double vision as well. I'd demand the doc swap that med out, the double vision problem can become permanent in some people. I also suggest seeing another doc about breaking up the stone. Been 4 days since I stopped taking the meds and I am still seeing double, this being permanent would be a bad thing. Definitely seeing a new doc Monday.

mm482 Posted July 21, 2012 Share #9 Posted July 21, 2012 I know your pain. I had one that kept me in pain for over a month before I had the lipotripsy procedure done. The lip procedure was almost painless. I hope you can get rid of your stone and back to normal soon. Earl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scarylarry Posted July 21, 2012 Share #10 Posted July 21, 2012 I had 8 of them before they found the cause.. Best advice I can give you right now is change doctors.. I would have change after the first visit if he didn't or wouldn't remove it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etcswjoe Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share #11 Posted July 23, 2012 Went and saw a different doc today and she is more concerned with finding out what is causing my double vison right now since I am not in pain have no fever or infection , she does not belive it is a reaction to the meds so I had an MRI tonight and an ophthalmologist appointment tomorrow once she gets the results and determines if it is anything major or not she will address the kidney stone.

Joopster55 Posted July 24, 2012 Share #13 Posted July 24, 2012 I've had several bouts with kidney stones and gout in my big toes. Hereidty, I guess. My mother has had the same problems and she lived with 1 kidney for 50 plus years. Best solution that works for me, eat lots of cheeries, celery, cranberries and drink cranberrie juice. The best is cranberry juice mixed with vodka. Can't help you with the double vision, hope your new doctor helps you with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vance Posted July 24, 2012 Share #14 Posted July 24, 2012 cranberry juice mixed with vodka. Can't help you with the double vision,.............. Neither will the vodka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etcswjoe Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share #15 Posted July 24, 2012 Well come to find out the double vision is not related to the kidney stones or the meds, seems like I had a small circulatory event that has damaged some nerves and muscles in my left eye. Doc said he is pretty sure i will recover in about 3 months but there is the possibility it is permanent. Guess time will tell but in the mean time I have two RSV's and a new to me trailer I cannot use. I think I could use some of that vodka about now. Oh and if you are a diabetic and have high blood pressure listen to what your doc says and crap like this may be prevented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playboy Posted July 24, 2012 Share #16 Posted July 24, 2012 Guess time will tell but in the mean time I have two RSV's and a new to me trailer I cannot use.
