What Causes Sudden Swelling Around The Stomach And Back While Having Kidney Stones?

I had major back surgery 3 weeks ago. At the time right before surgery and after I noticed increased swelling in my sides, stomach and reaching to the back. I thought it might be due to recurring kidney stones coming down, but CT scan shows stones in kidneys but not coming down. Said probably from surgery. Others say no. It is getting worse. Can t eat. No room for food. Bile comes up in throat. I look pregnant so swollen and it is painful, especially at night. I ve been to ER last week for this, primary care doctor, etc. I can t just run to surgeon that did back surgery. He s in another state. I see my urologist on 24th. Don t know if I can wait till then since so painful. Any ideas?

Hello,

What surgery you undergone? Stone may not cause bloating of stomach. Bloating may be due to gas or feces or fluid or it may be due to food.

So get it done ultrasound abdomen and use tablet Nexpro-l one table before breakfast for one week.

Avoid spicy food and alcohol. If symptoms not improved please consult with your surgeon he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
