Had 2 stones in Left kidney 5 x 7 x 8. Used lots of water and lemons and potassium citrate etc. for 1.3 months and they don't show up on 2nd ultrasound any longer. Still have what doc thinks is severe ureter spasming and he ordered a CT today to see if any pieces are left in ureter. He said that even if nothing is found the irritation can continue for weeks before both ureters calm down. It hurts to evacuate in morning. He said that the irritated ureter can irritate the bowel but I'm not understanding that? How does that happen? Have never has any bowel issues at all. No diahhrea currently at all or IBS symptoms. Can't eat alot because when full and food moving downward the 2 lines going down become tight and sore. Can it take this long for the ureters to calm down? Having CT scan later today. Thanks.
