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!

Thank you, I am so glad it was a quick one and a small one. I will never forget this experience...

Lemon juice is good for reducing kidney stones (reacts with calcium) - acid/base reaction.

Also great for your liver and flushing out gallstones and breaking them down as well.

the stronger you can take it, the better. More diluted weakens it.
