Well, wednesday night I had unbearable pain all night and got very little sleep, And then Thurs. morning when I woke up it was worse and I kept triyng to throw up and go to the bathroom but nothing would happen. So finallly I went to the hospital to see what was up. On the way there the pain was getting so severe I was hunched over in my seat driving there.

When I got their they have me several strong pain killers so the pain subdued quickly. They then told me I had kidney stones and that they were passing for the kidney to the bladder now and that is why I am having so much pain. They said you feel pain when it goes from the kidney to the bladder, and then from the bladder out the "little solider". They said that that is quit a painful expierence to :rolleyes:. I thought great news since that is the next step that Iam going into.

I am going back tommorrow to see if they can give me some kind of shock that sents alot of volts through your body and break up the stones. So they pass easier.

The doctor told me that I got them from drinking ice tea to heavily.

Oh man i feel for you, i cant imagine the pain of passin stones. I hope i never do. What other kind of drinks cause this? Ive heard stuff like coke, pepsi, and dr. pepper do......what about Sprite? Cuz i drink the sh*t outta sprite

Only advice i can give you is to remember that pain is only temporary........good luck with it

Doctor told me the #1 things that cause them are tea, coffee, and cola.

he said the best thing for you to drink to avoid them is water, since water helps flush things out of tract.

The doctor used that as an example...:o

He said gatorade is high in something causing kidney stones.

But the doctor said that 85% of the time you get kidney stones they pass through un felt. So you probably had them at one time, and did not know it.

what exactly are in kidney stones? like a build up of junk from drinkin stuff, and it just clumps together in your kidneys until it desides to come out? Is it caused over a long period of time, from slowly collecting particles that clump together, or does it happen all the sudden?

i think im gonna go drink some water now:o

My dad used to get them. He used to drink a lot of tea. There is a chemical in tea that the body can not break down easily I believe:confused:

You know , if you were to drink the 8 glasses of water a day that the doctors always tell you to drink , the risk of getting stones is very low . Best of luck to you ... it's gunna be quite painful .

Ask the doc for stronger meds ... morphine isn't all it's cracked up to be . Morphine doesn't do chit for me anymore . :ermm:

Yes, before the waste you don't need in your body goes to the bladder is goes through the kidney, And kidney stones are caused by things the kidney cannot break down for what ever reason. So they build up and up, but most of the time they just pass through. The problem is if they get to big they clog the urinare tract that go from the kidney to the bladder, so when you urinate it is quit painful. A larger stone may get stuck in a ureter, the bladder, or the urethra.

Lets hope I get through this okay! From everyone I have talked to that has had them, say they are quit painful.

I passed one when I was 18 years old that looked like a cockelburr(sp) and it cut me all the way out. It was very painful to say the least.

Im probably the only one to say this. But stone hurt way more before I passed it. I was ready to rip the Oh ***** handle off the car on the way to E.R. When I pissed it out it wasnt so bad. But the 90 pills of Vicoden where great. It was scary to see blood in the toilet though.

I had gall stones. turned me as yellow as a rain coat and damn near had me sucking on my pistol:ermm:


A buddy of mine a few years back, took off to go to his hunting camp in PA. About an hour from his camp he developed pains. he made it to the cabin and thats where he stayed hunched over for almost a week. A local hunter saw his truck and stopped in to see how he was doing and found him. He weighed 300lbs before that. After the kidney stones he went on a massive campaign to get in better health and now weighs 180 and drinks water like a fish.

I wish i could follow my own advice, but drink plenty of water.

Agreed. I think I'll have a glass right now.

Is it all pops? Like Diet and Regular? Or just the stuff with a ton of sugar and stuff?

two people i know had 'em, on of 'em got sick out of town so he went to the hospital. they told him he had kidney stones and that they could get them out right away. when he woke up the next morning, he was looking for a place where he was cut open. they ended going up through the "purple helmeted warrior" to get them. he still doesn't like to talk about
that. the other guy i know had to have his kidney stones passed through with his urine. he looked like he was in pain a lot and he walked like a penguin because it hurt so bad.

Well, I just got back from the doctor. And first thing Monday morning they are going to do the shock thing. They are going to put me to sleep are shock the hell out of me and break all the stones up so I can pass them easier.
The doc said that they are to big to pass on their own, So I am probably going to be in a lot of pain untill I get to the doctors tomorrow. I could not even sleep last night the pain was so bad.
