Patient's question:
Yesterday morning, I suddenly experienced stomach pain. After a series of tests, I was diagnosed with kidney stones. After extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, I had the following adverse reactions. Please let me know if they are normal:1. Dizziness, fatigue, nausea (but unable to vomit); feeling the urge to defecate but unable to do so.
Yesterday, when the symptoms recurred, I took morphine for pain relief. Yesterday morning, I had a kidney stone imaging test, and when the surgery was completed yesterday afternoon, I felt fine. After returning home yesterday, I took a stone-expelling pill, and starting last night, I began experiencing lower back pain. This morning, the symptoms mentioned above appeared. Please advise, thank you very much.

Medical Advice: The treatment for kidney stones depends on their size. Stones smaller than 3mm can often be passed by drinking plenty of water and jumping. Stones between 3mm and 6mm may be treated with medication to help pass them. Stones larger than 6mm usually require extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). The specific treatment plan should be determined based on your individual condition. Please measure the size of your stone first, and then choose the appropriate treatment method.
