I had one when I was 17 and one when I was 19....pain so bad I was vomiting just from that. The morphine they gave me only shifted the pain to a dull ache from 'please put me out my misery' type pain. It is such a relief when one of those calcified little feckers bounces off the toilet bowl...

I'll pass along some wisdom from my father in law who got this from a 90 year old friend (long ago).  Laying down on the floor and rolling vigorously back and forth, (like a log) will help dislodge kidney stones. This was something done by rural people many years ago when no Dr was available. My FIL tried it and it worked about 10 years ago and he passed it easy.

Now don't try it if your in pain or have complications...I'm no Dr, this is simply a folk wisdom remedy that worked for my in-law.

believe it or not,  that is what I did, because it seemed logical while waiting on my wife to get back and take me in.

the other thing that seems to help me when the pain is high, is walking.  it only hurts 90% as bad as sitting, but also moves your body and seems to help move things along (if this is just the placebo effect, don't tell me  :rofl: )

I forgot to add that you should whistle  "Yankee Doodle Dandy" as you roll....that's important because here in the south, that usually resulted in a loyal southerner kidney punching you as you roll.....probably a key point that I forgot to mention......

 :D

I may live in Wisconsin now,  but I grew up in North Carolina,  so I understand.   and that was hilarious
If I can help, let me know

They say second only to child birth, is the pain of passing kidney stones into the bladder!!! Laser therapy helps to break them down. In the long run, drinking more water may help, but certain people have a genetic pre disposition. However, a couple more sips water a day can't help!

believe it or not,  that is what I did, because it seemed logical while waiting on my wife to get back and take me in.

the other thing that seems to help me when the pain is high, is walking.  it only hurts 90% as bad as sitting, but also moves your body and seems to help move things along (if this is just the placebo effect, don't tell me  :rofl: )

all I drink now is water (since they said I was Diabetic)  so going forward, I drink about a gallon of water a day.

:think: sounds like something to post on "what do we have on the way" thread... :D

Hope this passes soon. Take care.

I actually considered that,  and normally would have used the opportunity for humor (that is just who I am). 

I think that shows the pain level of kidney stones   :rofl:

yeah,  but I put humor above anything else,  so to me it was a great joke,  intentional or not, I will laugh at it and enjoy the humor.

this made my early life easier,  people tried to pick on me and demoralize me,  but I would always laugh at them, then others laughed at them.  needless to say, they lost their confidence and stopped.

Megan is only too happy to tell you the joys I had with my most recent bout of kidney stones which occurred last October.  I was out on a job with my boss and the pain was so bad that I stopped at the side of the highway on the way back into town and threw up at the side of the road, so violently that I ruptured something internally and got to start enjoying some intestinal bleeding too.

Because of that I also lost control of something else and I remember sitting on the couch watching TV when a sneeze snuck up on me and caused me to soil myself.

I had gone to the hospital on the Friday and had gotten three different prescriptions- one super duper pain killer, one anti inflammatory (naproxen) and another pill that was supposed to keep the naproxen from making a mess of me.  I ended up passing the stone Friday evening so I had only managed to take one of each pill before  the other problem (loss of control) started.  Since I passed the stone I didn't bother taking any more pills.  I suffered with that all weekend long figuring it would go away, which it never did.  Symptoms of intestinal bleeding are very bad and sometimes lethal, so trying to wait it out was bad too. 

When I finally got to the doctor on Monday he told me that the pills I had for protecting my stomach would have cleared up my problem with my intestines all along.  I'd assumed they were only necessary if I was taking the Naproxen, and since I wasn't taking that I saw no need to take the other.

Long story short, doctors may treat you like you are wasting their time, but waste as much as you need and ask all the questions you can.  I suffered with a potentially lethal, very embarrassing and easily treatable issue for days because the doctor couldn't take a moment and explain things to me.

Nothing to be sorry about..... I laugh at it myself.  Now...... :P

At the time Megan thought I was going to die any minute and although I wasn't feeling the greatest I didn't feel bad and I think I was more embarrassed that I regularly pooped my pants at 40 years old than anything else.

oh, with kidney stone pain, you cannot think clearly enough to think about letting people know.  here is just how fast you did find out.

Pain started at 0630.  I thought I had pulled a muscle at first  ::)  :think:  :facepalm:.
by 0830, I figured out what it was, but wife was gone to grocery store.
wife got back home at 1100 with her mother to watch the kids since we did not know how long we would be gone.
checked into ER at 1131 <--  yes paperwork shows 1131 !
left waiting room and headed back at 1210
1230 received IV with pain meds
1315 was getting CT scan
1330 was going over history with doctor
1354 received text from Stew
1440 discharged.

so I was going to post on MTO once I got home and felt good enough,  but you got a pre-screening   :rofl:
