Video Transcript

"So you think you may have kidney stones or you've had some problems with abdominal pain or back pain. Hi, my name is Mark Brinson, Doctor of Oriental Medicine, Physical Medicine Specialist. Kidney stones can be a very serious disorder that you want to take great care when trying to treat yourself; but I'm going to give you a couple of hints, maybe indication that you have a problem and how to prevent and to maybe treat mild sand-like stones. One of the first symptoms that you'll probably have is back pain. Back pain that's in the upper to mid-region or lower to mid-region, I should say. Pain on either side can equal problem with the kidney or possible stones. You want to make sure that you're very careful if you have any fever. That's one of the big signs that something's going wrong that may need medical attention. Also any urinary discomfort. So if you're starting to pass, especially if you're passing blood in the urine or you're having a lot of discomfort with urination, that's something that you want to make sure that you take care or have your family physician take care of. Now if you know you have a tendency towards stones, or you may have small sand-like stones that you've been told that are causing the discomfort, there are several things that you can do that may help. One is to make sure that you stay well hydrated. Well hydrated means at least two liters of water per day, between two liters and four lites. So, about two quarts to a gallon is a good amount of water to drink and go very easy on sodas and highly mineralized vitamins. The other thing that you can do believe it or not is an old stretch type exercise technique which is on both sides, or especially the side you think you have the stones on, to lift the arm and jump up and down. And believe it or not, this is a mechanical way that you can kind of force things through the urination. So the combination of increase urination that you're going to have from the two to four liters a day plus a little bit of the jumping type technique that you can use is going to help move any stones out that you may have. My name is Mark Brinson, Doctor of Oriental Medicine, Physical Medicine Specialist helping you, helping that you have a healthy, happy and balanced day."
