Suggest Treatment For Severe Kidney Stone Pain Despite Taking Morphine Injections
Question: I likely have kidney stones, but even a morphine injection does not stop the pain. What now?
Brief Answer:
Renal colic
Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome
I appreciate your concern
In my experience in the E.R, i usually administer a single shot of I.M diclofenac sodium for renal colic that is confirmed clinically in the presence of a stone in the urinary tract on imaging. Depending upon the response ranitidine in combo with drotaverine is given. If the pain still persists then spasfon , spasmex and liometacin are resorted to. Lornoxicam and tramdol are our options for severe intractable pain. However these are complicated decisions to be made only in the setting of a hospital. You can take OTC hyosine butylbromide for the pain and go to an E.R near you where proper assessment can be done based on clinical findings.
Wishing you best of health
Thanks

Thank you, i have been admitted to hospital with nine kidney stones. The biggest one is nine by eight mm. Your reply was very helpfull in me visiting the hospital for further care.
Brief Answer:
Most welcome
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
The stone is quiet large and would not be passed spontaneously. Most likely it would require lithotripsy or minimal invasive surgery depending upon its location.
You are most welcome.
