Kidney stones....

[Rot Box]

So my wife is in the middle of passing her second kidney stone Man they must hurt! 2:30 in the morning we rushed to the emergency room, and I some how managed to spend my night in a not so comfortable chair--poor me huh

Anyway They say it hurts more than giving birth (sadly as a man I'll never have that experience ) I guess she'll let me know if thats true in a few months

They SUCK!!!!!!!! I had one several months ago and I hope to never go through that again. Most painful thing I have ever experienced.

I am pretty sure I had one starting, somehow nothing more came of it... but if that's what it was I can vouch for it being excruciating.

very painful from what i've been told but its worse for a guy because our urinary tract is skinnier than a females.

basicly imagine a little spike ball being forced down a very soft tube and you get the idea of whats going on.

Drink lots of water, don't get dehydrated.

Yea I had one that they eventually had to blast with their ultrasonic thingy. Talk about painful. I don't like to even think about it.

Actually, the most painful part is passing it from the kidney to the bladder

Yep, that is true. Once they are in the bladder they just pass right on out. At least for manly men.

yep, nothing quite like having a blocked uritter & thinking your pretty sure that your kidney is going to burst, & to top that off the nerves in your kidneys (in men) are connected to your boys, so after a while it feels like somone might be standing on them, (think Ill go have a glass of watter)

That's what is is? I was wondering why my wife keeps talking about the mushroom people hiding under the couch just kidding--but seriously I think she's loosing it

I've had two and wouldn't wish one on anyone. My last one was too big to pass and I had the ultrasonic thing after waiting nearly a week(red tape crap), the next day it kind of felt like getting kidney punched.

What a trippy drug world! Perkies every 2hrs just to keep the pain down to a dull roar and trips to the ER almost nightly for morphine!

My coworker get them all time. He tells me stories that my make ureter hurt!

 

[Rot Box]

Thank goodness it finally passed! :tara:

Yes this thread is 4 years old, but I am bumping it out of respect for those who have passed (stones) before me. Wow what a un-fun experience the past 24 hours have been. I spent many hours turtled up and flopping around trying to find a way to be comfortable. Thank you to the inventor of Morphine.

I have had 3, passed all of them naturally. I would not wish that pain on my worst enemy.

I have a very high tolerance to pain imo, and I hurt enough that I caved in and went to the er for pain medicine.

My condolences
