Hi all.

Because my prostate is 103cc which is classed as a large lemon,ive got history of kidney stones,2021 first time it happened i did'nt know anything about kidney stones etc.

Ended up in A,and E in absolute agony,and discoverd  a stone at 15mm had come out of the kidney and blocked the tube, its been said that the pain is worse than child birth.

Since then more stones in bladder, now my feet ,ankles an legs are swelling up with flank pain on left side,which has been the problem side from the start.

My concern is urine could be backing up causing problems,should i push for procedure to reduce the size,because it really is effecting my job etc.

Next month i have a urologist appointment,would welcome any advice.

Hi Busboy

I think it is a good idea to talk through all the options with your urologist and tell them of your concerns.  It is also important to go to the GP with any new, changing or worsening symptoms – so do reach out to them about your swollen feet and ankles and the flank pain you are experiencing.

Remember you can ring the specialist nurses on the support line (tel 0800 074 8383 Monday – Friday 9am-5pm) if you want to talk things through,

Best wishes from

The Specialist Nurse Team
