Experienced a kidney stone 25 years ago. Doctor at that time went in invasively to get it and remove
Three nights ago, I was struck with another kidney stone attack. Lasted about 2 hours in the middle of the night.
24 hours later. Another one. Could feel the pain and the stone moving farther south.
Another one early this morning, still painful but I believe stone is making progress.
Refuse to go to any clinic or hospital, what do my wise freeper friends suggest to speed up the process and alleviate the pain.
I’m no help, but I thought they used sonic waves and medicine to break it up now?...
Advil extra-strength has nerve damping abikity and itbis nonaddictive. If I’m in a lor of pain, I would pop them like candy.
Not a wise decision
These days a stone is usually handled with ultrasonic destruction
Drink lots of water but realize that the stone may get jammed which can cause more kidney damage.
Avoidance of the medical-industrial criminal complex is a smart move.
I developed atrial fibrillation after contracting the Fauci/China biological warfare virus, but am keeping my blood pressure under control without drugs with diet and twice-a-day exercise. I have learned that carbonated beverages are the absolute worse thing I can do for my blood pressure.
I know nothing about passing kidney stones, thank the Lord.
I did a quick search, and it looks like lots of water and/or fruit juices are you best bet.

Vodka martini - several
Strong stuff so has to be heavily diluted.
“Refuse to go to any clinic or hospital, what do my wise freeper friends suggest to speed up the process and alleviate the pain.”
I suggest rethinking your position on seeing a medical professional.
Go the clinic or hospital.
Water and Cranberry juice.
Ibuprophen to reduce any swelling.
See if your general practice has an ultrasound machine they can use to break it up as a backup plan
PURE cranberry juice.
Go to a hospital.
When to seek urgent care: If get severe pain not controlled with ibuprofen. If not improved in 2 days, or if new/worse symptoms or unable to tolerate oral fluids / medicine. If get fever likely need to be seen in person so one can order a urine culture, serum creatinine ect.
Get in a bathtub with the hottest water as you can stand as it moves towards your bladder. Just soak in the water to help subside the pain and take some extra strength Tylenol. Drink tons of water to push it through your urethra to your bladder and then you’ll feel relieved. Then go to the doctor and get an x-ray. Also try drinking straight lemon juice to dissolve it. It works.
Best is to drink a large amount of watermelon juice. There are many Chinese herbal formulas to break up stones. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1035/4149/products/3836_A_1182x1182.png?v=1654107691
Oops. Meant ureter. Not urethra.
Agreed. Just because they lie like hell doesn’t mean they don’t provide world-class medical care. Take a deep breath; then Go!
Good way to get kidney failure. Do not pop advil like candy particularly with a kidney that may be obstructed and poorly functioning.
