Urologist suggested taking a 3 month medication 'vacation'. Thoughts?

[TestingMe]

Well, got the test result on the suspected kidney stone..My girlfriend was convinced it was from a candy bar but seems to be mostly Uric Acid.

I'm still relieved the MRI prostate test wasn't bad.

Still need the CT scan but I'll get it done this summer.

Wish i could find definitive connection to the way the PSA has risen and the kidney stone being a cause..

Maybe get the CT in July and not wait too long.

Time to close this thread out..

Oh the asshole Urologist that got me started on making this thread. Hasn't prescribed the Test..He's really the worst.

Luckily I probably have a years supply or more, just knowing I will never let a doctor lord over me as he is trying to do now.

I'm considering filing a complaint with the hospital he is affiliated with. But I want to wait till after the CT scan is done and I get the all clear.

This guy went too far too many times. Who the f stops Test to ALL of his patients every two years??? I can't believe it or have heard anything like this ever.

I'll post when I get the final tests and hope they go well.

The new Urologist is light years ahead of the jackass doctor but he doesn't get involved with this.

A dietary adjustment may help with the uric acid issues of it gets to be a chronic problem. Have you ever had any problems with gout?

[TestingMe]

Never had gout problem. This was by far the mildest passing of a kidney stone but still I had inflammation and some symptoms I believe caused by the stone. About 3-4 years ago I had some imaging test, i forgot the name and the stone was if I remember 7mm. The one that passed I think was 4mm and guessing it's the same one. The CT scan should give more information if there are more. I think the doctor had said this might be the old 7mm that has slowly broke apart but no real idea yet.

I had started and stopped taking the Flomax and the second Urologist agreed until we figured out what was going on..BUt..instinctively I started back on the a few days before passing the stone...hours after a video appointment where I mentioned I had a feeling maybe it was all caused by a kidney stone..He didn't want to guess. Can't blame him..Going for CT test soon..Be happy to put this experience behind me!
