Re: undiagnosed severe pain in left abdomen

They "thought" they saw one on an ultrasound, but couldn't confirm it with a second view. They diagnosed me based on my symptoms (extreme pain, gross blood in my urine, etc.) and their diagnosis was confirmed when I passed the stones. Percocet is the drug of choice for my kidney stones--Lortab and Tylenol w/codeine don't help at all. Good Luck. I know how miserable they are. I am 28 weeks pregnant and had my last episode 5 weeks ago! At Wed, 5 Jul 2000, Lorraine wrote: >
