Had a kidney stone issue last Monday after work. Pain started as what I thought was poop pain and intensified from there. Got in my truck to head home and about halfway home did a u-turn on the highway and headed to the hospital. This all happened within ~ 1.5 hours. They quickly diagnosed a kidney stone and CT scan confirmed a 9mm football shaped stone in my kidney. Kidney stone pain is for real......
This is my first, and hopefully last, kidney stone. I underwent a lithotrypsy procedure last Thursday at noon. Its been 3 days and I've not yet passed the first fragment but the pain is gone. Apparently this procedure is common treatment for kidney stones. How long did it take for anyone else 'enjoying' this procedure to start passing pieces of stones?
