yeah for the pain from kidney stones. because passing rocks through my ureter is always fun. biggest passed to day 1cm x 7mm. doc asked how i passed it, there was no way i should have passed it. well i did.
 
it's been some time since i have had one, i think over a year. ok one that actually hurt on it's way out. worst was i had 20 of them in a year. seemed i was in constant pain that whole year. well this is all i can type this pain don't allow me to do things for more than a few minutes at most.

I thankfully (knock on wood) have never had them and hope I never do. I hope for your well being that they don't last long and that you don't have to deal with them again.

man...that sucks...have the indicated (and I mean the doctors) how they formed? Dehydration? a decrease in urine volume or an excess of stone-forming substances in the urine? (many other reasons)...

Can a change in fluid intake help? Eesh...I am sorry you're going thru this
 

I had kidney stones pass through me last year. What a great feeling. Hope you feel better soon.

Seriously what do you drink all day? I have never had one knock on wood, but 20 in a year seriously. You might want to consider drinking some 100% cranberry juice every while.
 
I would be more concerned as to why they keep forming more so than passing them haha but thats just my opinion. Anyways wish you well.

I better lay off the beef jerky when I'm not working out.
 
I'm going to start trolling craigslist for a nice water cooler,  I drink 200% more water when I don't have to wait for it to cool in the fridge.

Forget water, I'm drinking lemonade and cranberry asap.

Sorry to hear about your pain it is something I hope I never have to go thru.....being said that I have an enlarged prostate gland not the same but it is something not fun either....hope proper meds and diet help...

sorry for such a long time to post. i ended up in the hospital, not for the pain mind you but for the fever and dry heaving i was doing. never had that before and went right to the hospital.
 
a couple guys i work with and are customers ask how i can work with having a kidney stone. the problem with them i have is that there is no comfortable way to stand or sit. so i'm constantly moving around. plus every 10 mins you have to pee (and hope you pee when you don't it's bad). i have seen over muscled 6'+ men crying like little girls. had one guy next to me in a room you thought the alien was going to bust out of his gut. the doc came in told me i had a 7mm, the guy next to me had a 4mm.
 
it's not that they don't hurt i guess i'm just used to it at this point.
 
unfortunately the stuff my babies are made up of there's nothing that can be done for them. their composition doesn't allow for things to be done. believe me i drink as much as i can especially water. i try to drink 1-2 cranberry juice drinks a week.
 
this one was bound to happen i actually got one or two left inside. when i passed the 10mm one the scans showed i had 5 more. the doc wanted to go in and remove them. i asked for the zap thing, i was told they only do that for extreme cases where the stone is blocking or is too big to fit through.
 
my aunt had one she said she would rather give birth again. so maybe it is male labor. i actually passed mine about an hour or so ago. not sure if it was 2 or the one broke up but two pieces came out. what a relief that is. i took about a 2 hour map and i'm ready to finally get some food in me.

+1 on that one!!! That is what gets me so bad, I can not sit still or even stand around, you can never get comfortable with those things moving around you, I feel sorry for you man!! And yeah I have heard a lot of women saying that they are the closest thing to giving birth that can happen to any male. Hopefully you won't have any more for a while, they are truly awful!

I have passed several and have had to have several more broken up with shock waves to pass. Horrible things.

You guys are scaring the "H" out of me. Im most likely in the same age range. I will start drinking cranberry juice and lemonade. Do you all have any other tips to avoid kidney stones?

-edit- Uncle Poop sorry to read about your kidney stones. 10mm sounds frightening. I truly dont know how a 10 mm could possibly pass;that is almost a half inch. Got out my caliper and put it on top of my hoohoo to see what even a 7mm stone looked like and was aghast.

Honestly it just happens. I mean, I've heard of so many things that cause them that short of eating rabbit food the rest of your life.... Coffee, Pop, salt, Milk, I've heard Flour being blamed once too...

 Ouch very scary. Will still do the lemonade and cranberry juice. Hopefully cherry juice helps also. Me loves cherry juice.

^ HEY!! I'm not old dang-it, least I wasn't when I get the stones, was only 22 lol

 
I never had them, but know someone who did. Man they are painful. I'll pass on that.    

I feel your pain!  I had them 2 yearws ago.   Horrible stuff.  I was lucky pretty much though, I passed mine within 3 days.  Was a bad 3 days though.
 
He told me I have several more ijn my other kidney though.  He said they could come out next week, month, year , decade, but they WILL come out eventually.  Nice.
 
Dad has had them 9 freakin time.  All my brothers at least 2 times.  The things i look forward to.
 
Hope you get to feeling better soon.
