Kidney stones

[onebud34]

Just got my first one. What am I in for when it passes?

You're in for a cavity in your kidney that might not heal if you don't make adjustments to help your calcium balance which allows the kidney to heal. Once you neglect that cavity, you'll get more stones, and they'll get bigger and hurt more.

That's what you're in for.

But really, kidney stones aren't that bad in most cases. Sometimes they're pointy and big, which hurt like hell. A lot of people pass stones, and don't even know it.

My neighbor gets them frequently for some reason.. and one time when he was passing one [or maybe a few] you could hear him screaming... I guess he left his bathroom window open and had to explain to everyone later haha.

Make sure you have some help. I know 2 guys that when it hit they went down and were calling for help. Not being a dick just be ready. Hope I'm wrong.

That was me the other morning at 6am. I didn't need an alarm clock. LOL.

That was not much fun. Which led me to the ER. Which was up high when the CTd it. I'm just growing impatient with this damn thing

I've had them before. One of them was too large to pass and I had to have it surgically removed. I went like five years between that one and one that I had earlier this year. I was able to pass the second one. A little blood in your urine, and it hurt a bit when I passed it, but as soon as it came out, it was instant relief. Just make sure to drink plenty of fluids to help flush it out.

The way it works is whenever you feel intense pain, that means the stone is moving. Once the stone passes into your bladder, you're home free. Your ureter (the lines that run from your kidney to your bladder) are much thinner than your urethra, so a lot of times you'll pass the stone and you'll experience a lot less pain than when it goes from your kidney to the bladder. Sorry if that's a bit graphic -- like I said, I've experienced two really shitty ones before. A lot of times people pass stones and have no discomfort at all.

lol it depends - really that is what Id tell my own mother. Look up an image and size of the various calculus and that would give you an answer. best of luck to you. Just thank god you got one

Women who have given birth say passing stones is worse

Good luck man. Sorry to hear. Hope it passes quickly. My dad got them a few times and they pit him out of commission for a bit.

That's what I said, that's what I said.

Well I passed that beech the other day...although I think the pain was worse when I initially found out that I had the stone...still...holyshit!

The worst part was I didn't have my percocet cause I was a at work that day.

You had percs, and didn't take them?

You went to work? Passed the stone there?

Something isn't right. Are you...old...er?

Glad you made it through without any emotional scarring.

The percs were nice in the beginning...then I had to take 3 at a time for them to have any effect. I figured...what the hell..I'll go to work.

A wise choice, thus the age conclusion. (I would have done the same)
