Suggest Treatment For Kidney Stone
Had a trip to ER Thursday diagnost with Kidney stone and sent home with Cipro, oxycodone and a nausea pill. Went to Urologist and was also given Flomax. Have not passed stone yet, have been very constipated for 5 days or so. Can I take a laxative (Senekot). I've never taken so many meds before, or should I let things run their course. Any tips on passing the stone? Stone measured 2.7

Hi
Oxycodone and the pain from stone both can cause constipation. Yes you can try senokot for constipation. I presume stone is 2.7 mm in which case it should pass by itself. Please drink adequate fluids which will help you pass the stone.
