[DRB]

If I have ever questioned your man/woman hood because of whining about a kidney stone, I humbly bet your forgiveness. HOLY FVCKING SH!T! I would rather have both my collarbones broken with a hammer than deal with that pain again.

I have a 5mm x 5mm x 6mm stone stuck just before my bladder. Right now it doesn't hurt but Saturday morning.... unbelievable. Never in my life did I think something could hurt like that.

At that size the doc says its unlikely to pass on its own so tomorrow I get it removed. Since its too low to get blasted with the sound machine, they stick a laser thingmaggigit up the 'ole peepee hole and zap that bad boy out of existence. According to the doc, with no complications I'll be good for riding on Wednesday.

 

[LordOpie]

wow, suck it up princess.





Hope it goes smoothly and heal fast.

 

[drkenan]

Holy crap that sucks. I've had 2 - 1 in each kidney and each time was by far the worst pain of my life. It's been 6 years or so since it happened but every time my back hurts I get a little extra worried. Good luck getting it zapped...sounds painful. I hope they'll give you something good so you can relax.

That sucks.

And oh dear god please tell me they're gonna knock you out for the procedure.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh karma!!!




sorry I had to. Kidney stones are a bitch. Never had one, but witnessing the pain that friends w/ them have gone through is enough for me. I wouldn't wish kidney stones on anyone.

 

[Upgr8r]

Man I feel for you. I had one not as big so they gave me Flomax and told me it would pass on it's own. It did, but the pain was unbelievable.

 

[N8 v2.0]

they had to go in and get mine.. 3 days in the hospital..

good luck bro.. you need it

 

[vtjim]

Not to derail the thread but what is the contributing factors to getting Kidney Stones?

 

[Potroast88]

The words laser and pee-pee hole should NEVER, EVER be used in the same sentence.

 

[Jeremy R]

If you do pass it, look at it real closely to see if it resembles Mmike's face. I bet it is Mt Rushmore like accurate.

 

[kidwoo]

Just go in there yourself with a chisel.


Wimp.

 

[Upgr8r]

Not to derail the thread but what is the contributing factors to getting Kidney Stones?

Not drinking enough water is a major factor

 

[syadasti]

Not to derail the thread but what is the contributing factors to getting Kidney Stones?

Not being hydrated enough and/or diet.

Limit your coffee, tea, and cola to 1 or 2 cups a day because the caffeine may cause you to lose fluid too quickly.

Try to drink 12 full glasses of water every day.

Your doctor may ask you to eat more of some foods and to cut back on other foods. For example, if you have a uric acid stone, your doctor may ask you to eat less meat, because meat breaks down to make uric acid.

If you are prone to forming calcium oxalate stones, you may need to limit foods that are high in oxalate. These foods include rhubarb, beets, spinach, and chocolate.

[BigMike]

Damn dude, I feel for ya. I had a 6mm stone a while ago, and I was in the hopistal for 3 days after the lithotripsy

 

[MMike]

No-one should EVER underestimate my powers......

 

[Potroast88]

I think you should get a second opinion.

 

[cadmus]

My cousin's husband had a couple and he was literally crying for his mom. They got divorced not long after that one - unsure if the two events are related.

unless your pee-pee shoots lasers and then that'd be awesome!

pewpew!

 

[sperkins]

sounds like a really bad situation!!! good luck and i hope you feel better soon!

 

[kidwoo]

pewpew!

Props for correct laser onomatopoeia.





Just look at the shape of those things in the narlus pic.


It's proof that there is a god.


And he fvcking hates you.

 

[SkaredShtles]

Quit being such a pvssy and get out the ol' wire coat hanger.

 

[Greyhound]

Foreign objects in the pee-pee hole.......there's a rule #35 joke in there somewhere. :biggrin:

All joking aside, it's not the object in the hole that is the painful part, it's peeing afterwards. I was catheterized for my hernia surgery last summer, and thought they injected me with the clap when I woke up after the procedure. Give me a funnel and a block of pine and I could have given a woodburning clinic........

 

[Prettym1k3]

So many reasons why I started drinking Cranberry Juice.

It's supposed to help with that, right?

Dude - coat hangers are like multi-tools.

 

[j.les]

I feel your pain brother. I had one when I was 17. The pain was so bad I threw up several times. It was about 5mm long and shaped like a kidney bean.

I've read that drinking vinegar every day can possibly dissolve or prevent stones, but I don't think that's a proven fact.

 

[N8 v2.0]

Prevention is based on what kind of the 4 types of stones you have:

Calcium stones
Uric acid stones
Struvite stones
Cystine stones

I had a Uric acid stone and my urologist put me on allopurinol. Also, I have to drink a lot of water over 3 liters per day.

Fresh squeezed lemonade also is great for preventing them from forming too.

Oh how I'd love to have my own little laser cannon.

 

[splat]

I feel for you. I had one , and every time I feel even the slightest pain in the kidney area I get really paranoid!

Good luck

 

[evomo]

Morphine got my thru my 1st and Vicodin got me thru my second. Apparently I have one more waiting in my kidney for me to give birth too... nothing to do but wait. Drink lots of fluids. My doc says they pretty much develop if you let yourself get too dehydrated too often...

 

[pinkshirtphotos]

my goat had urinary tract stones and we needed to have him operated on. now every day he gets a dose of ammonium chloride and vitamin c pills.

 

[geargrrl]

Been there, done that. I am supposed to avoid foods high in oxalic acid.
Yes, women get them too.

I had heard that semen can clot up.

So now its Wednesday instead of tomorrow..... one more day to walk around with a time bomb in my back.

I did ask if they could do it under a local anesthesia so I could watch, he looked at me with the face that obviously didn't get it and said "I don't think that would be a good idea."

ask then to go in and get it... they use your natural opening to get the tools in to the work site.. maybe you are luck like me and have it lodged just outside your kidney which is the fartherest point to get to...

Oh.. then remember you have to get the stint pull out after 10 days or so.. that's a whole other bit if fun
