I’m no doctor but... :)
what type? Uric acid or calcium? (I believe are the two types)
If uric - I’d recommend drinking copious amounts of water...to the point where you’re going every 15-30 minutes. Do not eat or drink anything with high levels of purines (beer is #1 enemy).
I get gout - uric acid collecting and crystallizing in my right big toe. Since I’ve cut down on beer and make sure I’m more hydrated I’ve not had another episode. The last time I did I drank loads of water (per above), after a few hours I could feel the pain melt away in the space of 1/2 hour. By the end of the day all pain was gone.
^^^ I have not found this advice ANYWHERE but it seems to work, for me at least.
My first attack happened in Norfolk, VA. My urologist was Dr. Fiveash who I later learned was maybe the top urologist in the country.
He said mine was phosporus but he wasn’t sure the lab was correct. He said the South was the kidney stone belt but they don’t know if it is hereditary or environment. He said to drink large quantities of water and little dairy products.
That first one was one of the worst but the stone was only a little larger than a BB.
