I'm dealing with kidney stones again and since yesterday I've been feeling a burning sensation when I pee. Last time this happened was in June 2021, but the burning went away in a day. This time it's not getting better. I recently had wrist surgery and I'm on some meds for that could they be causing this pain? What should I do? I can't see a doctor right now because of the surgery.

My doctor prescribed me Drosis XT deflazacort 30mg and tamsulosin 0.4mg twice a day for 10 days along with other meds for kidney stones. Is taking 30mg of steroid twice a day safe for kidney stones? Are steroids usually given for this issue? Will the stones not pass without steroids?

Nephrologist opinion is advised for further treatment.

I've noticed this small lump near my groin that's really painful when I touch it. I'm getting a bit worried and am wondering if there's a specific treatment I should be considering or if this is something that needs immediate attention. Would you be able to give me some guidance on what I should do next?

Based on your description, it sounds like you may have a swollen lymph node or an abscess. I recommend using an over-the-counter pain reliever like acetaminophen to help with the pain. Additionally, you can apply a warm compress to the area several times a day to help reduce the swelling and discomfort. If the lump does not improve or if you develop a fever, it is important to see a doctor for further evaluation and possible antibiotic treatment.
