Kidney Stones Suck

So I just spent my day in the ER for kidney stones. It started with a dull back ache that increasingly spread to the front left side of my abdomen. I wasn't going to go to the hospital at first because I have no insurance but I was getting increasingly worse to the point where I was throwing up and on the verge of passing out. Long story short, they gave me a CT scan, pumped me full of morphine and several hours later sent me home with a script. Kidney stones suck.
Anyone ever go through this?

I was about 6? Maybe younger, probably younger. Probably more like 4.
My mother passed a Kidney stone and was screaming bloody murder, and told me she was dying and all this other horrifying shit. Made me call 911, and when they asked for my address, I had to run outside and check what my address was. I remember being on the phone with the 911 operator just screaming "MY MOM IS DYING YOU HAVE TO SAVE HER" like multiple times. I spent probably like 5 minutes on the phone before they could calm me down enough to get my address and shit. It was a terrifying experience, and was pretty scary for sure.
That's my only experience of that though, so I'd imagine it hurts like a mother fucker if my mother thought she was dying, especially since she's given birth to like 7 kids.

Ouch!
Try and find a good source of pure cranberry juice (not that sugary shit) and drink it every so often, especially when you're feeling that ache... it does wonders for cleaning that system out.

They say it's comparable to giving birth.
Fucking a i've never had kids but I guess I am prepared now...
I was waiting hours before they gave me the morphine too...I wanted to die.

My mom said it was worse, she said she'd rather give birth to all 7 kids in a row than pass another kidney stone..
That's probably not what you want to hear as you're waiting to pass a kidney stone... Sorry,

Oh yeah. I thought I was dieing. Woke my wife up to call the ambulance after steadily increasing levels of pain. I don't do that except under extreme duress. By which I mean I never did before. I really did think I was having a manifestation of cancer that would end me. They gave me one blast of morphine and asked what my pain level was. I said it is still pretty high and they gave me another and everything was alright. Oh yeah. Never did capture the stone. It isn't the stone that hurts it is the muscle cramps it cause in the ureter

I get them all the time. I was a farmer and now a miner. I passed at least 5 in January, but thankfully they were small enough. I had one get stuck bad once and had to wait a couple weeks to get it blasted with lithotripsy. I've had dozens of ct scans too. Drink lots of water!

does being a farmer or miner increase ur chances of kidney stones or something?

Yeah I don't know what caused this. I eat and drink better now than I have my entire life. They say it's hereditary and both sides of my family are prone to these. I only drink water and eat fairly healthy.

It was the worst pain in my life. Not even close. I have no idea what passif is talking about.
The pain is not from irritation by the stone. The irritation causes muscle contractions which are the pain source. Essentially a charlie horse in your ureter. And I can assure everyone that it is awesome pain. I never did find a stone

I have a pretty good idea what caused mine. Rolaids. I used to eat them like candy.

I have them,
Lemon aid, cranberry and lots of water each day to flush your kidneys. I gave up soft drinks.
I got some of mine blasted with a Lithotripsy. Made me feel a lot better.
I get awesome pain killers from my Doc for the pain though.
