After collapsing in agony, disaster strikes as Colin gets rushed to hospital. With an ambulance unavailable Shaun has to rush Colin to the emergency department but everything that could go wrong does go wrong!
We'd both like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the Paramedics and NHS staff who helped make me feel more comfortable and did their absolute best during a difficult night. Words can't express my gratitude 💙

Hope you're feeling better. I also had a Consultant a few years ago tell me the pain was in my head, 3 days after he'd said it, I ended up having surgery to fix the problem. Doctors need to listen more to patients. Take care x

@Ringelsocke. 2 года назад

Why easy when it can be complicated? 😳😫 I'm sorry for both of you - for Colin for all the pain and failing doctors, for Shaun for dealing with everything around. My teenage daughter was told by doctors: don't make such a fuss, it's only the period. She also passed out from pain, that's horrible! And I couldn't do anything but call an ambulance each time. After years (as a twen) she found out it's endometriosis. When doctors know about an anxiety disorder, they tend to blame it for anything and everything and don't look for other causes. Not helpful at all! So... get well soon both of you! A few extra snuggles with Otis might help.🥰

@ericelliott6654 2 года назад

I knew what it was as soon as you described the area that was painful! With mine, I went to the nearby (rural) health clinic, described it, and the nurse said, "Yep, that's a kidney stone." She gave me some sort of pain killer that is specifically for kidney stone pain. This was to relieve the pain, but also as a confirmation of her diagnosis. If it hadn't been a stone, the drug wouldn't have worked. So simple and easy-I can't believe the seeming incompetence of your doctors! It seems like the default attitude there is to do absolutely nothing unless forced to act. Shameful!

@HilltopFarmHomestead 2 года назад

I don't know what's worse. The ambulance not coming or the doctor putting restrictions on the number of times you call. Hope you get well soon.

@denniscooper281 Год назад

I am bewildered. Having suffered with kidney stones for years with each episode being diagnosed straight away with a urine sample and simple ultrasound. How your physicians did not pick this up is surprising. my last stone was 20 mm and needed surgery under anasthetic. the pain is indescribable.

@EarlX99 2 года назад

Colin, you are not alone with being mis-diagnosed. My Mrs has gone through this several time in her life, the most recent being trying to find out why she was having chest pains. Took nearly 3 years for her to be finally diagnosed with heart failure. Send you guys love for a speedy recovery. 🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂

@SuperCaliforniaBarbi Год назад

This is so true. I once stopped my doctor by calling him by his Christian name and asking, what's the most important tool you can use in medicine? Your ears Mark listen to me I've been living in this body for over 59 years and I'm telling you something is seriously wrong now do some tests and figure it out!!! He listened.

@deacjansp2 2 года назад

Unavailable - you are being too kind. So glad a paramedic came by!

@sueroberts8834 2 года назад

You can ask about the treatments that break up the stone and allow the body to pass the stone fragments. It is called a LITHOTRIPSY. It is very effective and is a fairly minor surgical procedure. Since your stone is up in your kidney it is harder to reach and create the need for a different and bit more involved surgical procedure. But it can be done. I have given anesthesia to many people having both these procedures done and they work really well. You are right. It is horribly painful having a kidney stone. I can only liken it to the final stage labor pains when a woman is having a baby. IT IS DEFINITELY REAL !!! And it definitely is not in your head.

@nigelbaldwin752 2 года назад

Sue, the worst pain known to man (or woman) is when you wash and polish your m/cycle, then drop it onto your gleaming car. No amount no analgesia has any effect and the pain lasts for weeks.

So sorry you've had to deal with this for 4 months, Colin!! Are the doctors considering doing lithotripsy? (It's a procedure where they use ultrasound shock waves to break up the stone so you can pass the "pieces". No actual cutting/surgery involved). Thank God for dear Shaun! He truly is your rock, most especially this time when you had a real "rock"! Sending love and hugs & best wishes for a full recovery! ❤🐾❤

This bullshit about anxiety and panic attacks as a diagnosis is killing people. They told me I was having a panic attack when I was actually having a spontaneous coronary artery dissection! When a blood test confirmed it I was told “don’t panic, you’re having a serious heart attack”! 2.5 hours in two ambulances (they had a changeover point en route😳), I nearly didn’t make it and suffered PTSD after. It was 6 years ago and watching you retell a similar story brought me to tears🥲 Take care, we love you guys💗💗💗

Well lo and behold yet another trip to the ER today and a different doctor decided to do some tests. It appears she has had 2 broken bones in her heel that look to be about 8 months old. So I am totally with you on your travel to and from the hospital with their 'it's all in your head' mentality. Xx

Hugs Colin...and Shaun too. I wouldn't say that 50 is when you start to fall apart. You've just had a run of bad luck, Colin. But you are an active and fit man, so once this is "passed," you're likely to have years of good health.

@glenbyrns9733 2 года назад

Your story gave me chills. I endured the same situation while on a camping trip. I ended up in an emergency room where the nurse immediately knew what was going on. Huge doses of pain meds, imaging and subsequent surgical breakup of the stone returned me to life as I was. Later the nurse told me “When I see a face like yours come through the ER door, if you’re not on the floor with a severe heart attack in 30seconds, its kidney stones.” You really got some sub-par medical help. It gets better fast once the stone is gone. Love you guys.

@CatherinePlantagenet 2 года назад

My dad had kidney stones. He got a prescription for cranberry juice. I get them from calcium. I mix it with ginger ale. Start with a 50/50 mix. The ginger ale adds a sweetness to counter the tartness of the juice. Give it a try. 😅

@FoxesAfloat 2 года назад

I’ll add it to the long list of ‘recommended’ remedies 🤣

@TinyFreya59 2 года назад

I know it sounds silly and you’ve been overwhelmed with well meaning advice BUT please consider taking this seriously.… Kidney stone prevention begins with figuring out what the stones are made of. Caffeine and high calcium are the most common culprits. Making that determination and subsequent minor changes to your diet can stop them from coming back. My ex husband thought this was all BS when the doc told him to cut his caffeine consumption in half until he had his 2nd round of ‘fun’ and he became a believer. Pretty sure if your docs over there are too incompetent to recognize classic kidney stone symptoms and wait a month to consider a CAT scan but instead blame it on your mental state, they are undoubtedly too dumb to inform you of any of this. I’m very glad y’all are okay, I’m SO sorry for the stress and scary times. Sending you love.

@sandrabilyeu5894 2 года назад

My husband's doctor recommended he drink his water or tea with a squirt of lemon juice in it. The lemon helps break down the stones and helps keep new ones from forming. Use fresh lemons not bottled. And it just takes the juice from one slice per drink. He hasn't had a stone for 4 years. Prior to that we were at the emergency room a couple of times a year with pain, blocked urine flow and vomiting. Please give it a try ❣️

@howardm2642 2 года назад

I hope you feel better soon. I'm amazed they didn't make the diagnosis months ago. In the US we would have done an ultrasound or CT the first time you came in. I would have thought they would have at least done a urinalysis each time you went to the hospital which can clue them in as to a kidney stone (microscopic blood in the urine). I'm assuming the gallbladder and bile ducts were okay on the CT.

@hootilyhoot Год назад

There is a huge problem in health care with people who have mental illnesses. Doctors far to frequently write off physical pain and symptoms as mental illness. This leads to patients not disclosing mental illness or medications they are taking to their healthcare providers, putting those patients at higher risk for things like medication interactions. 😔 I'm glad you finally have answers. I hope it is sorted soon! Hang in there!!

My son just went threw this last month. 3 times to dr, I finally insisted on a CT scan and it was a 6 mm stone. Referral to a urologist who said he had a 50 50 chance to pass it. He did pass it, it looked just like a piece of gravel lying in the drive way. So he was misdiagnosed with a blockage then diverticulitis before the CT scan. Doctors! Ugh! You'll be alright colin, just hang in there. At least now they know what's going on and how to help you.

Oh my gosh! So sorry Colin to hear your issue is a kidney stone (but angry that the medical personnel didn't do scans from the start, given that the pain was in your side and lower back). I've had to pass 3 in my lifetime. My first and largest was 6 mm. I had a Lithotripsy treatment to bust it up and the pieces that passed were more like sand. I was given a light sedative, so I was awake during the procedure, but didn't care about anything. I sat in a special chair and was then lowered into a tank of water that came up to about my waist. Then the stone was blasted with ultrasound shock waves. It didn't hurt, but took about an hour. I wish you luck and hope you get the blasting treatment and the pieces pass smoothly. Take care.

@johngelnaw1243 2 года назад

Oh man-- Had you mentioned your symptoms in the anxiety video, I'm sure a number of people including me could have made a better diagnosis than the A&E folks. One of the most frustrating aspects of modern medicine is the tendency of medical professionals to make assumptions. I had a 4mm stone blocked at the entrance to my bladder, and the pain was.... wow. I didn't pass out, but came close. Went to the local ED, described my symptoms, and they gave me pain medication, followed by a CT scan. Sent me home with FloMax and Toradal, and life improved dramatically. Your NHS might be paid for, but those doctors seriously failed you. Anxiety can cause all manner of problems, including physical, but it's typically not going to manifest as recurring pain in a specific location. :) Good luck, feel better, and remember-- this too shall pass. ;)

Colin, I am so sorry this happened to you. As a nurse, when you first described your symptoms I knew it was a kidney stone. There is always a great danger when medical personnel dismiss persistent complaints on the part of the patient. I learned very early on never to do that--the odds are I'd be proven wrong and in any case, if a patient is in pain--something is VERY wrong. Kidney stone pain is agonizing. I'm glad you've finally gotten a diagnosis. Take care!

Second kidney stone, arrived at the hospital emergency room; from experience with the first one I knew that only Morphine would relieve the pain until a course of action could be determined, so.... I said to the attending doctor or nurse or whatever: "I need Morphine". Well, she developed a broad smile and said: "Of course you do, as do 90% of the folks who walk into the Emergency Room". Evidently, kidney stones are the favorite ruse of drug uses looking for a quick fix. After a long wait for the results of the CT scan, I got Morphine and promptly passed the stone. As you well know now, they are no fun!

My battle with gall stones was in the much vaunted USA expensive health care system. All it took was a stupid US ER resident who jumped to an easy diagnosis, but then a wise and careful Afghani doctor who got me through to a successful result. You can vaunt all you want, but health care depends on the quality of the physician or nurse or med tech who asks good questions! 🤓

It's unbelievable that such acute symptoms could be written off as 'in the mind'. I would have thought that renal colic due to stones would be top of the list irrespective of any mental history. Even a tolerably clued up final year medical student would put it at the top in a normal exam question! Do get better soon Colin, we're all rooting for you Best wishes !

what that doctor needs is a kidney stone so he has a bit of experience as to what pain is...anyway glad you know what the problem is .

Oh my goodness, Colin, boo, I hope you feel better soon. I'm so sorry you're going through this. Big Hugs to you, big, big, hugs, but not on the sore side.

Not that sort of person. The NHS is in desperate need of funds and there’s no way I’d take a penny of it. x

@jenniferhill1882 2 года назад

@@FoxesAfloat I was more or less joking I wouldn’t sue either.

About 4 decades ago a lifelong friend had the same condition, they phoned my father (local GP). He arrived in minutes saw my friend then within seconds diagnosed kidney stones. They got him to the hospital where they started treatment straight away. Admittedly the hospital was a bit closer - but back in the 80's a Doctor who qualified in the 30's actually went to the patient (didn't tell him it was all in his mind), and the treatment started - all quicker than you even got the hospital! Note this was his first attack. No months of waiting/suffering, no multiple pain episodes etc etc, so much for progress! Good luck with the model trains - looking forward to seeing the layout grow.
