I had kidney stones 22 years ago. Doctor said it was calcium build up. I used to drink a gallon of milk a day. Haven’t touched it for 22 years. I’ll never forget the pain.

If you think that was painful, wait till you pass it.

Three. The first dissolved on its own with an IV. The second passed after about a day. The third didn’t go away after a week (on painkillers), so they removed it.

Tests showed no good reason for formation, so all they could tell me was to drink a LOT of fluids. It has now been over 20 years, but I get tired of knowing where every restroom is within 20 miles...

The wife had a stone lodged 1/2 way down her ureter for 2 years before they could find it and pull it out. The immense pain came and went, and it drained our energy and our savings.

We acquired a more realistic view of the health care industry and their limitations.

Today they use laser if you cannot pass them, it is a pretty pain less procedure. The pain prior to it is horrible, sorry, but it is as bad as delivering a baby! lol

Kidney stones, Gallstones and Pancreatic stones. I’m a walking gravel pit. None are good, but kidney stones are the top daddy-rabbit of pain.

I have had kidney stones. It's absolutely the worst pain in the world! Worse than labor, very similar, though. The good thing about a kidney stone is that they can give you morphine in the hospital and the pain disappears. Two hours is not bad. I've gone days. Couldn't work when I passed the last one. When I finally passed it, back in the ER because I had so much blood, the doc said it was the biggest stone he'd ever seen.

I do have more in both kidneys. Best advice, drink lots of water and lemonade or water with lemon juice in it. The lemon breaks up the stones, and the water keeps the stones from forming, I guess.

I hope they are having the stone analyzed to tell you what kind you are forming, then avoid those foods. I was told if you get a kidney stone, you are prone to form more. Just what you want to hear!

I'm glad you're better!

You need to connect with ladyjag. If I remember correctly she went through absolute hell with kidney stones.

I sympathize, Not Fun.

I once had one that put me in the hospital because it ruptured a blood vessel in my kidney and caused an infection.

Another time one woke me up early in the morning. I started driving to the hospital in agony. Half way there it dislodged and the pain stopped. Turned around, went back home and passed it a couple of days later. That was an unusual sensation.

Oh yeah. It sucked. The pain was excruciating.

I cant remember how big it was, but it was relatively small. When I was at the urologist afterward, the nurse told me there was a guy in there with one 3 times the size, and I think she used the word “spikes” . Wow.

No, but I am fighting a kidney infection. The pain has been awful, and haven’t been able to keep anything down. As soon as I get back home, I’m to be checked for stones. I’ve heard it is as bad as childbirth, but I had c-sections so I can’t equate that.

I get these buggers and they are no fun.
The first one was the size of a adult thumbnail and they had to go up and get it. The pain was unbearable and I was in the hospital for a week. I had sweated so much because of the pain they had a IV in me for 3 days.
Good luck..stay away from soft drinks with caffine and drink lots of water.

Did you pass it or did the pain recede?

I’ve had hundreds of stones over a few decades.

Did your dr. say this was an anomaly for you?
