Hello everyone, I had an interesting morning. I had a BCG treatment three days ago, everything went normal, the usual symptoms after. But today after I got up to use the bathroom my side started to hurt, in 15 minutes it was full blown pain causing me to vomit it hurt so much. I have never had a kidney stone but this was matching the description. I ended up getting a ride to the ER and getting meds and a Cat scan...it showed that my ureter was dilated the full length but not obstructed. Even before they gave me the pain meds the symptoms started to ease up...by the time I got back from the Cat scan I had no pain at all. In total the episode lasted three hours.
My question is has anyone else had this from BCG treatments, if so what caused it? I had forgot to take my antibiotics the day of the procedure but took them the next two days. I also now remember having mild back pain the last two BCG series but it only lasted a little while.
I guess I am wondering if it is a infection thing or a blockage from the clots that caused it. Any ideas or info? I am seeing my Urologist tomorrow and any good questions to ask him would help. Thanks, Warren
