Does any one have experience with them?

I had the pain in my kidney area this morning, went to the hospital, had urine and blood test taken. The doctor came to the conclusion I have one. I was nearly painless for 6hra today, and now the pain has moved into my lower stomach/groin area, and is excruciating.

How long after the pain did you pass the stone?

I passed one this summer and it was the worst pain imaginable. First time I threw up from pain too. Took a couple days too pass but the Dr. told me the pain comes when it moves from the kidney to your bladder. So in all I had to deal with that pain for about six hours when they finally gave me the drugs, then a couple days later I pee'd the stone out.

It has also really had an effect on my pain threshold. Things just don't bother me anymore. I even broke my wrist at Christmas and suffered only minor discomfort even through splits, drs poking at it, etc. :s

[cdizzle_996]

Yeah, I shattered my arm, broke my leg, several serious injuries and nothing compares to this.

The pain seems to be coming and going now. I have pills that loosen the muscles round my urinary tract which I hope speeds up the passing. I'm drinking water like a mofo.

Not something I would wish on anyone. Water is pretty much all you can do :( good luck man.

edit: drinking lemon water can help clear/dissolve solids and help prevent future ones too.

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) for kidney stones (http://www.webmd.com/kidney-stones/extracorporeal-shock-wave-lithotripsy-eswl-for-kidney-stones)

i wonder if this is available if you ask. or maybe they only give it to ppl with crazy giant ones.

[subordinate]

Werd, never had it but heard how painful it is.

That's why it's mostly about diet. Keep hydrated is critical.

[SkinnyPupp]

Can't you get prescribed opiate pain killers? :fulloffuck:

[cdizzle_996]

The shock wave will happen only if I don't pass it on my own.

I was prescribed oxycodone for the pain. I'm not a big pill person, and I'm especially not a big fan of oxy's because I've seen the damage they've done to people.

After being curled up in a ball last night, in agony I took one and it helped. It's now 4:30am and I feel like I've even stabed.

lol they abused it, thats why.
Take 1/2 pill? I had the same mindset when i had an ankle fracture/surgery, but said f.it and took it. Best decision, strong stuff.

I didnt abuse it, plus i get addictive to things easily.

I know it doesn't look like much, but here it is. It's about the size of a sharpened pencil lead, but round and jagged. It felt like pissing shards of glass.

Congratulations on passing it!
I've never had it but I watched my mom suffer the pain and agony of passing three stones.
She said it hurt more than giving birth to me and my sis.
Like you, she was also given oxycodone for the pain.

Think of it this way, shit doesn't get more painful than that.

:fuuuuu: my dick hurts just looking at that. Crossing my fingers for life that I'll never have to deal with it.

[cdizzle_996]

I wish that pain upon no one. Haven't had any pain or discomfort, which leads me to believe it was only one.

They should have done an ultrasound to let you know if there's any more in there. They did for me anyway. Gratz on making it through and welcome to the 'Nothing hurts me any more because of experiencing stones' club. It seriously makes you feel like a super saiyan.

[Kidnapman]

Congratulations are in order. I can't imagine anything but pee coming out of my urethra. Very painful stuff that sounds like something out of a horror story. If I ever had kidney stones I'm pretty sure I would have killed myself out of fear of the immense pain.

[Not really racist!]

drink.... lots of water!!

[Ulic Qel-Droma]

:heckno:

don't drink coffee.

drink lots of water, and always stay hydrated. don't let the shit build up from being dehydrated.

[miss_crayon]

OH GOOD GOD. I feel for you. I FEEL FOR YOU.

[Timpo]

[Timpo]

Hate to be the bearer of bad news.. but let's not forget Gallstones... :denied:

[LiquidTurbo]

Is the pain sudden? Or like a chronic dull pain?

[Mr.HappySilp]

So looks like I got 2 kidney stones! It was during a body check up I did an ultra sound (doctor though I had fatty livers but turns out they are fine). From the ultra sound they find 2 kidney stones on my left kidney. Went to a specialist and did a CT scan. The one big stone is about 1.5cm and the small one is tiny. The specialist said the big stone are too big to use the the wave the crush it into little piece for me to pee out. Also leaser won't work coz again is too big.

So I have to do a surgery where they are going to drill a tiny hole right under my left rib cage and suck the stones out. I will be full under but I am wondering after the surgery how painful it will be? How long should I take off work to recover? I am hoping to take 3 to 4 days off coz I don't really want to use my vacation days lol. I am most likely going to be drinking liquid only for the first week or so. Doctors don't know what cause it but base on my past eating habits is could either be I don't drink enough water or all the junk food I have eaten in the past......

Edit I also don't feel any pain at all. I do experience back pain from time to time or once awhile I would wake up in the middle of night wanting to puke.

Regarding work, just tell your boss you have surgery, no need to tell them what's going on. It's personally and confidential, just tell them you need sick days / recovery days. Doctor can write you up for a week (5 business days. If they ask, esp. those mofo nosey co-workers, it's none of their business.
Take the time to just relax.

Sad to tell you, the hospital will want you out like asap. You'll most likely go stay over a night; all in all, you should be able to recover and do normal activities in about 2 / 3 days.

You will lose about 10 lbs in the whole process; due to water weight and eating. Hospital food is not good and you're just there wanting to sleep thru recovering time the next few days.

When I went to check my kidneys for stomach pain. Doctor told me that kidney stones hurts more than a heart attack. Luckily I tested negative.

I was told I will be in the hospital for a day 2 at most. Most likely my wife and parents will bring me soup so no hospital soups for me!

I am kinda of hoping for the weight lose coz of it. Hopefully I will cut back on how much I eat afterwards as well. I just don't want to take so many days off so I can save them for vacations.

Surgery is schedule for Dec 11. Book a few days off and with the weekends it will be 5 days of rest it total. Wish the hospital would give more notice.

[Mr.HappySilp]

Surgery is good. Left the hospital next day. However, they attach a tube on the back of the Kidney. I think they kept it there in case a 2nd surgery is needed so they don't have to cut me open again.

Peeing is super painful right now and is a mix of blood. Haven't poo yet though. Overall felt pretty good.

yup, the antibotics will help. the pooping, well, your body was in shut down mode trying to recover so it does take time. Also, you gotta eat and build up your system again. Lastly, walking around and getting back to exercising will ehlp out with the pooping asap. people who just stay in bed all day will take forever.

Glad you're doing ok!

[Mr.HappySilp]

Had to check myself back in last Sunday my temperature keep raising. Got an infection. Still in the hospital. Hopefully I will get discharge this weekend.

[Ulic Qel-Droma]

go to a club with a zillion 18+ inch subs and lay against them, the vibrations might break up the stone haha
