Hmmm. I try to stay hydrated. There are actually three different types of stones that it could be. Calcium oxalate which is a salt found in certain foods which combines with the calcium and is the most common, calcium phosphate which is when the pH in your pee is too high from too much calcium, or uric acid stones when the pH is too low and purines build up from animal proteins. interesting...

I actually don't mind them much anymore. I accepted it years ago. Fresh lemon juice is what kicks them into my ureter, so all I have to do is drink lemon juice once a week or even just once a month. For some reason though I always forget to drink lemon juice for a year or two. They don't hurt nearly as bad as broken ribs.

I broke ribs and a vertebrate at the same time.
I can't confirm that it hurts more than a kidney stone, but I can confirm that it broke me as a man, I was no longer a man after that injury, I was a literal puddle of bitch.
Damaged my kidneys too, pissed out a bit of blood in the hospital as well, but at that point I was so fucked on morphine I didn't care, they shot me with some morphine in the ambulance, then in the hospital, and then hooked me with the clicker afterwards.
They also started a year long opiate addiction.

I can assure you that I would take ten broken ribs over another kidney stone. It isn't even close.

It does sound a little given the title: "Climate change causes more kidney stones, says Scientists". But it makes valid sense. The less urine you are expelling, the more concentrated that urine would be of minerals such as calcium.

I've never broken a bone either, which is pretty amazing considering all the shit I did, but I will still take them over what the stone was like. Screaming is not inappropriate.

i have heard they are miserable. was reading about them the other day for some reason and found that cranberry juice wasnt proven to do much of anything for them, as is common belief. also that vitamin c supplements can contribute to stones if you take them a lot for no reason. I only drink water and beer occasionally, and vitamins after drinking. I hope I or anyone else never has to experience them.
i also knew some people who were so ridden with chronic pain that they were heavily scripted with morphine or oxycontin. they said it helped with the pain but they were pretty much walking zombies with little reason to live. its really sad what pain can do to a person.

Even if that's true, I still have an irrational fear of solid objects coming out of my penis.
I googled world's largest kidney stone, and I wish I didnt.

HOLY SHIT. That had to develop in a coma patient or something. There's no way that could develop in a anybody who was anywhere near conscious. There are supposed to be internal organs there. That fucking stone reminds the movie aliens, except it's more horrifying.
On another less scary note, if you're not peeing a light yellow color, then you're not hydrated enough. Allegedly dehydration is one of the bigger factors in having these things form. I'd keep some morphine around just in case that doesn't actually help though.

Thanks guys. I passed it yesterday I believe because I feel a lot better today.
And I believe cranberry juice is good for bladder infections and urinary tract infections caused by bacteria. Kidney stones are much different as the problem starts in the kidneys and by the time it even enters the bladder most of the pain is gone. So it's no wonder that cranberry juice doesn't work because it's a completely different condition.

Not even a remote approximation. We are talking 9.9 pain here. You have no fucking idea what it is. If I was a screamer I would have been screaming. The pain was awesome beyond measure. And it doesn't involve your dick, as can be made quite clear by the fact that sugar tits also got one.

You are not the first to call me sugar tits 
It was so much pain I couldn't even comprehend what to do with myself. I was just trying to keep from passing out and puking. I'm just glad I had someone there to drive me to the hospital.

I got an ambulance and two blasts of morphine in it. I thought I was dieing.
