Getting ultrasounds for hydronephrosis and ovarian cyst on Thursday. Doc says I could have passed the kidney stone with no pain. How exciting!!

As you probably know kidney stones cause some worst pain possible. My daughter passed a 7mm Stone.

Drs advise getting anything over 5 zapped with radio waves. She was in extreme agony. Sore for days.

It would be fabulous if you passed a stone painlessly.

I understand the ultrasound I am getting for the ovarian cyst is given vaginally. I've had plenty of ultrasounds but never anything invasive . . . obviously I'm not looking forward to this.

Also still having burning with the kidney infection even though I have only two days left on the Keflex (a two week prescription). Don't know what that means, if anything.

I may not be posting much this week, but I'll post when I find out what's wrong with me.

Thanks for all of your encouragement.

As per the intravaginal ultrasound - it is a wand they will lube it liberally then hand it to you to insert it so they don't hurt you. It is not large and it is not at all uncomfortable. It only takes a few min to complete.

The US tech/Dr. always put it in.

I had to have yearly intravaginal ultrasounds for many years and through all those about 10 ultrasounds - I was always handed the wand to insert it.

When I had mine several years ago, the nurse/technician inserted it, as well. @LilacTree it was completely painless, and didn’t take long at all.

That's just the way mine went! It wasn't the "do it yourself" version! LOL!!!
