Kidney stones

Anyone ever had them?

I'm astounded by how much it hurts when they're at their worst.

But I'm also amazed that (like now) there is just a dull ache in between bouts of pain. Sometimes a couple of hours with just an acceptable ache before being doubled up on the floor again.

Drinking and pissing for England in an attempt to pass them. Anyone been in this position? Arg.

Re: Kidney stones

Had them a couple of years back, never knew pain like it, but like youve said, would be bearable for a while then bang, doubled up in pain on the floor.

Went to the Walk in Centre the first morning i had them, only to have some fit young nurse telling me i needed suppositories the size of torpedos shoved up my arse..... that noise when she put the rubber gloves on still haunts me now

Re: Kidney stones

Passed a 3mm stone immediately after penalty shoot-out! One of the best feelings I've ever had. Wooohoo :)

Re: Kidney stones

Mate has had them for a couple of months, keeps going in for sound blasting. My old man had them years ago, he was as hard as nails but said it was the worst pain he'd ever had.

Re: Kidney stones

Sympathise mate so painful was the first one that i passed naturally, that even to this day I always make sure i have powerful painkillers indoors in case another one appears

Re: Kidney stones

I've had a helluver day. That's two nights and two days now. I thought I'd get referred back to hospital today but no - more of the same drugs - anti-cramp, cocodamol and supository - and instructions to just drink and pass the stones. Had 14 pints since 10am, got another four here, but hard to drink when it's grinding away. I've gone from rolling around in agony to watching TV calmy then agony again. Cyclical all day. The reports (and you lot) don't lie - it's excrutiating. Thanks for replying. Nice distraction :)

Re: Kidney stones

Friend of mine, also a Hammer recently found out he only has one kidney! Born that way. Been told he has to drink as much as possible, even if's beer! Fuck knows what will happen if he gets a kidney stone!

Re: Kidney stones

Had a spate of kidney stones first experience i got infection had two zapped in hospital for two weeks. 6 years later had another two removed. The main thing to prevent kidney stones is drink plenty of water, my problems only started after i gave up drinking.
The whole urology bit is undignified messy and painful,lets hope you don't have too many cystoscopies, Good luck

Re: Kidney stones

You have my sympathy, i had A Gall stone problem last year and ended up having my Gall bladder removed after a couple of 'rushed into casualty' boutsof serious and consistent pain. Glad to see the back of it.

I think they can zap kidney stones if push comes to shove (excuse the pun). Hope it all works itself out.......

Re: Kidney stones

Absolute bastard, was like having one nut in a vice, extra points to blazehammer ( donkeycock) for not feeling it much.

Perhaps I had kidney boulders

Re: Kidney stones

Very painful. One treatment with an ultrasound bath and all was well.

Re: Kidney stones

Re: Kidney stones

Had them just before Chistmas. Ended up in A&E, it was the worst pain you can imagine.

Re: Kidney stones

Ag! Worst pain ever imaginable. I read somewhere that some women put the pain above giving birth.

The best you can do is flush the bastards out. Seriously just keep guzzling down water - it helped for me. Luckily, the water must've crushed them up so I hardly felt anything when pissing them out.

You'll ache for a few days once you've passed them though.
The doc gave me some seriously strong pain killers too...I forgot what they were called though.

Re: Kidney stones

Fivetide...don't envy you at all...my brother-in-law suffers terribly from them..they can be broken up using ultrasound I believe...good luck.
When I suffered from gallstones I found that a very hot bath eased the pain quite a lot..Viz calls it a Monkey Bath....when you get it,you go oooh ooh ooh..

Re: Kidney stones
