who all has passed a kidny stone?

[The Boondock Saint]

I just passed one about 2 months ago.. I hit me at about 2 in the morning and was by far the worst pain I had in my life.. No matter what position I was in it felt like a bowling ball trying to move around my abdomen.. I got to the ER and the expected me to piss in a cup.. Yeah that wasnt happening and trying to do so made me upchuck.. They gave me strong medicine to curb the pain until it passed.. It worked good but once it started to wear off that pain would come back... It took me 3 days to finally pass the bastage..

My doctor told me that one of the biggest causes of Kidney stones is drinking too much soda.. And another is not drinking enough water to keep your body hydrated constistently.. So avoid the sodas and drink enough water in a day and It may help you from ever getting one..

Doesn't drinking a lot of caffine cause it? If so, I'm ****ked! I drink lots of engergy drinks, coffe and soda....

OK guys, so what is it? What do all of you that have had these stones have in common? I drink about one soda every couple weeks at the most. I drink lots of water and coffee in the mornings. I hope I never ever get one of those kidney stones. I have been told via CT scans that I have several large gall stones but I woulndn't know it. Hopefully they are too large to go anywhere...........

I did have my heart out once. Hope I never have to do that again either..........Oh, they put it back when they were done fixing it..........

Stones

I had one about 1.5 years ago and pray each night to NEVER have to go through that again.

Similar experience to all the rest of you...the WORST pain I have felt in my whole entire life. Mine started in the lower back...like a monkey was going 8 rounds with my kidney from the inside out. Got worse and worse and by the time I was at the Hospital in Blue Lake or something MN I literally crawled into the ER room and they had the audacity to require my proof of insurance from my billfold... I crawled in on my death bed for god's sake!!! I WAS DIEING AND THEY NEEDED TO SEE INSURANCE BEFORE HELPING ME

Anyway, got the funnel to piss in and never did recover the "stone".

As far as what causes them, I am pretty sure excessive salt intake and low water intake is one thing that causes them. So, basically I am screwed for the rest of my life.

I pass little ones every now and then...just had one the other night while staying in Grand Lake at a buddys...it may sounds weird and might not even be linked but I find that doing the nasty with the wife/gf/rosy helps ease the pain a little...?????

i passed my first last night!!!!! was in the er for 4 hours last night oh that was fun!!!!!

still don't know if its out of my blater yet but its out of my kidny, second one is still in my kidny. im so looking forward to passing that one!!!!! they gave me some good drugs so it should not be as bad.

they gave me a strainer to piss in but have not recoverd the stone yet? i have no idea what im even looking for.

Never passed one! I try to drink lots of water for that reason, among other benefits. I was deployed a while back and a soldier in our tent passed one....I felt like I went through it with him.....he screamed and moaned....I thought he was having a child!

I've had two bouts with them. second time required surg. did the stint thing for two weeks.doc said it was the size of a pea. any how doc said it was a combination of lack of water, and diet, ie... too much peanuts, cashews.almounds etc.. DON'T want to go through that again!

 

[BigAl]

i passed one many years ago and thought i was dying--thought it was the size of a basket ball ended up about as big around as 1/2 the size of # 8 shotgun shot or a little smaller---

Mine looked like a piece of Grape-Nuts cereal but felt like a bowling ball with spikes.

 

[IWantATurbo]

still has not come out of the blatter!!!!! im tierd of pissing in a strainer!!!!

 

[x-guy]

I suggest you wear some eye protection, mine came out at a million miles an hour and I thought I broke the toilet, Dr told me I was eating too many Tums and not drinking enough water.
