Type 1 Type1 suffering with kidney/side pains - Advice Needed

Age 34, T1 diabetic for 3 years now.. Levels are quite stable and under 10. Average 7-8
I've been for a scan confirming 2 unobstructing kidney stones.
The problem I'm facing currently is kidney stone pains that just won't let up
Been on Meds to pass stones out but pain is not subsiding after 3 weeks

Call your GP and ask him what can be done, it could be they have moved and are causing a problem now. He may also be able to give you something else to take to deal with the pain. If things get really bad, they may want to admit you to hosp to manage pain levels and progress of the stones.
 
Excellent advice by Adele, do seek help and don't suffer in silence.
 
It's agony if they move and obstruct the Uretha so best get some medical attention ASAP-some of the treatments now are non invasive too-best not to leave this-mainly so you don't have to suffer unnecessarily. Good luck and all the best-hope it's sorted for you soon! ;)
 
If it's been over a week I suggest calling the doctor.
Or, avoid taking pain killers but drink as much water as you possibly can to flush it though.

Ive had back/kidney pains for a few days at a time, and usually lots of water sets me right. But don't put off going to the doctors.
