Does walking a lot help to pass kidney stones?

Question

I'd like to hear from people who have passed them, and find out if it helped you to walk a lot. Any other things you would suggest? I've had this very small stone in my ureter for 3 weeks, and I'm going to need surgery to retrieve it, if I don't pass it within the next 10 days. Help!!

P.S. The stone is very small... only 2 mm.
The urologist said there may be a defect in the ureter that it is catching on, because stones this small usually pass more easily.

Answer 1

Exercise of any kind, especially walking is good for everybody, but I doubt it will help you "pass" a stone. Fluid intake will help more than anything. You should drink enough fluids to be able to pass at least 2 quarts of urine a day. The more the better. Stones made of calcium or calcium products account for 92 percent of all stones. If you are prone to kidney stones, be careful of your calcium intake and oxalate-rich foods such as beans, beets, celery, chocolate, green peppers, spinach, strawberries and tea, among others. As little as 10mg of B6 a day can help lower the amount of oxalate in your urine. Increase your Vit A which helps keep the lining of the utinary tract in good shape. Check your antacids. If they are calcium based, choose a different product. Lay off the salt, be careful of your Protein, Vit C and Vit D. The key is to limit, not delete the vitamins and minerals mentioned here. In the short time frame...water, water, water at this point will help more than anything else. Caution here! I am not a doctor. My source is hshown below. Follow your doctor's orders above everything else.

This is a semi answer however can have longer term advantages. Contrary to standard perception, kidney stone comes from a loss of calcium (colloidal-meals situated). The frame pull from the skeletal constitution as wanted for muscle contractions. The residual is deposited through through kidneys, in which it might probably deposit from loss of fluid to flush out. a million. Supplements like calcium citrate taken day-to-day with diet D will give the wanted calcium to support preclude bone leach. two. eight ounces. Cranberry Juice with one ozof apple cider vinegar taken two times a day-to-day, will support dissolve the calcium deposit. It won't influence the bones. If you will have energetic stone, develop the frequency to five occasions an afternoon. Good success!!!!

Answer 4

Everyone is suggesting lots of fluids. I've passed five stones, thank you. When I was in the throws of the pain, there was NO WAY I could walk. The fact that you are able to walk suggests to me it may be too large to pass on it's own. I don't mean to frighten you, but it is better to be well informed. If people are saying "Walk", then WALK!

Good luck to you. I feel for your pain. Really.

Answer 5

I have not personally gone through this but i am a nursing student and have helped taken care of a couple patients who had this and it was most helpful to walk a lot and drink lots of water. This will help to keep ur circulation up and hopefully get the stone out.

Answer 6

I couldn't just sit around and do nothing like my doctors suggested.

They didn't want me to do anything or to take herbs or herbal remedies, but I had to try something - they just wanted me to do dialysis!

This program allowed me to take control of my health. I went from Stage 4 to Stage 3 kidney disease.

It was easy to do and my BUN, creatinine and anemia are all in better ranges.

Ouch. Perhaps your kidney stone is too large for you to pass. Did they tell you how big it is? I would suggest flushing your system by drinking plenty of fluids. Wishing you good luck.

Answer 9

try drinking LOTS of coconut juice (coconut water). a friend of mine used this type of "water therapy" when he got kidney stones. The stones passed out of his body without having to go thru surgery.

hope that helps!
