Wait till you get your first kidney stone- you’ll be dropped by something smaller than a grain of rice lol (I pass about 60 per year- most go through with no issues- about 5% or so cause severe pain- throwing up blacking out, blubbering like a baby pain-
Sorry to hear about your kidney stones.
I’ve had a lifetime full of cluster-migraine attacks, AKA cluster headache. When it comes to pain, I know real pain. On a scale of 1-10 it’s a 13.
“I pass about 60 per year”
There’s nothing they can do for you?
A friend of mine's wife had (emphasis: HAD) a similar problem that ended her up in the hospital more times than I can remember. She ultimately had kidney surgery and her doctor put her through a battery of tests that ultimately nailed down the problem that was causing her to have so many. I don't remember exactly what the condition is caused but something in her diet which was supposed to be a very healthy diet caused her body to make kidney stones. Corrections to her diet and over time she stopped making and passing so many. She's been just about pain and kidney stone free for about a year now.
I've had four major lower back surgeries. I've no idea which is more painful, I can tell you I don't want to find out!
Actually, I'm still not sure which is more painful: the reason I needed those lower back surgeries in the first place (collapsed vertebrae, bad disc's, spinal injuries..) or the surgery itself. Yikes!
