“What causes that pain, is it the stones try to pass through the urethra?”
I’ve heard that is the easy part. Passing from the kidney to the bladder is what hurts.
I looked it up and some of these stones are shaped like stars which I can just imagine rips everything to shreds, I would imagine it’s like trying to pee out a razor blade. That is some major major nasty sht. A few close friends of mind died of cancer and they didn’t even come close to the amount of pain I witnessed this guy go through. It was bizarre as hell, like witnessing someone have their guts shredded by an invisible demon.
