Who else has the pleasure of having them? Trying to pass one now,, they rough

If you put a little turpentine a cats ass after cleaning it with a wire brush, he'll pass a motorcycle!

Good luck passing your stone.

Sorry I'm not more help.

Ain't they fun!!!!

Had them last year... first time for me. Sucked azz as far as back pain and whizzing blood goes, but they were small and passed pretty easily. I guess I was lucky.

My old man gets them fairly regularly, so I imagine I'm in for more eventually.

Had two 30 years ago
Man I know your pain.
Hope it passes soon

Never thrown up from pain before getting a stone. Even the nurse in the ER who had three kids said it was the worst pain she'd ever been in.

Good luck and drink another glass of water.

Had one a few years ago and had to go to the emergency room, the pain was so bad. Hope I never go through that again....

Hoping you're dealing with a fairly small one so it passes fairly easily.

I had my 1st and only one about 5 years ago. It was the most pain I have ever experienced.

I’ve had about 5. Improve you’re diet. Drink more water, citrus is good. Aleve works good on me. If you can get one down before you vomit it back up. Good luck!!

Going thru it now. ER visit, surgery with laser to break it up.
Still have a stent in and a few more in the other kidney so more more surgery.
Headed out tomorrow to take my 13 yr grandson on an elk hunt in AZ. Not the way I planned this trip.

Who would have thought that a little tiny stone could cause so much pain.

Hydration is your friend if you have a history or family history, son spent 6 years in the sand box, got them eventually, from dehydration. Not pleasant, gave him morphine and lots of water....he said it was still like pizzing a sand spur. ;-)

I never had any experience with them but just for the mentioning, my bud had a recurrence of them. Finally tracked it down to drinking too much iced tea.

Oxalate stones

I am minus one kidney, but I got a kidney stone on the site of that missing kidney.

In the emergency room they gave me a shot... and the pain went away.

I was to pee through a strainer for a month.

On the last day I peed out a raisin made of stone.

They took my stone and analyzed it. It was ok.

My wife's cousin is married to an emergency room surgeon [removes bullets]. He had his kidney stones surgically removed preemptively.

They ain’t no fun……I think that I’m dealing with one now! Either that or I have kidney cancer! 🫢 memtb

I've had 2...first one required extraction by surgeon 27 yrs ago. 2nd passed along with lot of blood 4 yrs ago. Sure don't want another! Hope you pass it soon!

Had one 33 years ago and the nurse said about the same thing. She said she’d rather go through childbirth again than have another kidney stone. They gave me a couple doses of morphine which didn’t touch the pain, finally they tried some demerol and that helped a bit.

I had lithotripsy for 3 of them the end of September. Stent in the ureter. When the urine hits that stent, make sure you're holding yourself up. The pain for 4 days post procedure was beyond description. There are blocks of time I don't remember.

Tramadol doesn't work.

Had the same procedure. Stent, while not painful, was wholly unpleasant. Every time I pissed I could feel it traveling back up and into the kidney. At least that was the sensation.

I had a 12mm stone. I didn't even know I had it until I had a CT scan for an injury I had. That stone was completely asympomatic until it was busted up with lithotripsy. All the rubble flushed into my ureter at once and clogged it creating a "stone strasse" (stone street) or some damned thing. That's when the pain hit. I characterize it like this:

Imagine having a rusty, jagged, red-hot machette pushed through you then having it slowly saw down toward your groin, while simultaneously getting kicked in the balls with every beat of your heart.

I was unaware just how far I could vomit until that hit. Hint: along damned way.

I got flomax and pain meds. It took exactly 30 days for it to pass. The day all that [bleep] dropped into my bladdewr, I was sitting on couch. Suddenly, it felt like someone jammed a lit sparkler into the tip of my dick. It hurt fort about 10 seconds. Then I had to piss something fierce. I grabbed my strainer and it sounded like I was dropping gravel into it.

My largest fragment was 5mm. I had multiple 4mm fragments, many more 3mm fragments, and a ton of sand.

And the stones aren't smooth. They are jagged as hell. And they really are stone.

During my initial hospital visit, my nurse told me she passed a 7mm stone, and it hurt worse than giving birth to a 7.5lb baby with no drugs.

I ruptured my L4-L5 and L5-S1 discs and got severe sciatica as a result. Had to have surgery. Thought that was the worse pain I could ever have. Tunred out, that was a walk in the park compared to the kidney stone.

So, cheers to all the fellow Kidney Stone Survivors out there.

Been there, done that TWICE! Drink looooots of water and stay away from tea/coffee/soda! Hydration is the key!
