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'm just dealing with this constant pain every time I pass urine. I did a urine test, but it came back normal. My doctor suggested an ultrasound, and it turns out my bladder wall is thickened. I've been on medication from the doctor for a week now, but there's no improvement. This has been going on for about 6 months. What could be causing this, and what should I do next?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of bladder wall thickening. To help with this condition, you can try taking Tamsulosin. This medication can help relax the muscles in the bladder and prostate, making it easier to urinate and reducing pain during urination and to help reduce bladder spasms and improve bladder function. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.
