Any idea how long this takes? It was identified in my right ureter near the bladder. Haven't heard much from it lately.

My Dad has had dozens of these; once they're out of the kidney, they always seem to pass within the week.
That sucks, oap. I hope you have good pain management. Wishing you a speedy passing.

Get some pain meds!
Sorry. But as Zuzu hinted, this too shall pass.

Me love de Perco-cee'. And the 800 mg Motrins ain't bad. I always ask for Percocets because the straight Codines make me feel muddy and stupid, but the Percocets seem to give mental clarity, along with the pain relief.
I guess this drug in large doses has become a boogyman, though, because it's oxy-contin. I'm safe though. My doctor can't count past 5 mg.

Percocets. Ugh. I alternate between sleeping and itching all over my body, I no longer take the stuff.
Miserable!

...only after reading gm's post, my new mantra is "always listen to gennimom".

Yes, for some reason they release histamine. I get a little of this. Very little soporific effect.
