Month Really & No End in Sight
So I have kidney problems that stated in 2016. It started with a stricture in the left ureter ( the tube the goes from the kidney to bladder) I had a stint put in until I could se a specialist. I finally get in to see the specialist and he does a pyeloplasty to remove the stricture. Once healed I was good for about a year (2018) until scar tickled another stricture. Then I spend the next 7 years without and off relief and no long term plan for a fix. Since 2019 i have see 5 with a plan to see a 6th urologist. The most recent urologist decided after taking months to get into see that he doesn't want to do a secondhand pyeloplasty and is referring me to the dr (6) who did the first one but is now at a different hospital. This urologist (5) doesn't want to anything to help with my pain at all. For anyone who is wondering how bad the pain is think large kidney stones mixed with the pressure of a large water balloon in you side because the stricture won't let the kidney drain properly so it fills and swells ( hydronephrosis) so now im stuck in bed in severe pain and I'm super pissed about it. I called the next urologist that im seeing next month to see what kind of appointment this next one is going to be and its a consult nothing more. So I am driving 2.5 hours one way to see a dr for a consultation with no fucking plan to resolve the pain. So damn mad. End rant
