How will you feel immediately after a lithotripsy op?
I've had lithotripsy twice. I didn't feel well at all after them. I felt dizzy, and my side bothered me. I just wanted to close my eyes, but the nurse wants you to wake up and start moving. The symptoms eased gradually. I took a few days off work, and each day I felt gradually better. This is now the third day and I'm going back to work, but if I don't feel well there I'll leave at noon. I'm a bit concerned that there's blood and tiny blood clots in the urine still, but some websites say that can last a week or more. I don't think that tiny blood clots are something to worry about, though they say large blood clots are. There are just little pieces of blood that can be picked up with a tweezer, and don't look that big to me. In short, lithotripsy makes you feel lousy for a while but the feeling gradually decreases. As the pain decreased, the redness and skin irritation increased.
