kidney stones

[ASH]

round two started yesterday ,  and the second time for me , but at my age anf having gout  doc said it might get more  yeah. 

it hurts  but nothing like infected gout , infected gout had me literally crying few years ago ,  10 worse then just gout ,  it was in my elbow and they had to syringe it out , looked like 

glass of milk .  i cut not bend my arm for over  week.

I had kidney stones a couple years ago. They were to big to pass , I had to have surgery to remove em! I’ve been in accidents had many other surgeries but I have never felt pain like that before!

I had surgery to remove a handful in my R kidney in 2015- one was 11mm. Had passed one prior to having the surgery and was so painful that it made me sick, literally. From now on I see my urologist every year.

Feel sorry for you. I had kidney stone once, thankfully none since. So much pain from such a little object.

I feel for you. Had them. First time I was on bathroom floor puking and in pain. Trip to ER , they put a stint in. Couple weeks later, doc took it out. Was back at ER that evening with bilateral stones.  They noted high calcuim. Few months later, they removed bad parathyriod gland.

Good luck ASH.  The man who leases part of my farm had them a few years ago.  Laid him up for over 2 weeks.

Had some a few years ago. Went to bathroom at work and I passed one. Hurt like hell!! When I walked out of bathroom they said I looked like I had just given birth. I told them I just did. Everyone had a good laugh, so did I but the pain was miserable. All I drink now is water and it seems to help.

I skimmed the above posts so if I missed this, sorry. My urologist also suggested lemon juice in your water. Not just if you start to get a stone but ALL THE TIME! I've almost forgotten what plain water tastes like but I've had good luck keeping bladder and kidney stones to a minimum. But ...... what about lithotrypsy? It is probably one of the easiest and most discomfort-free ways to get kidney stones out.

They put you to sleep and a machine gives off rapid pulses of (I think...) magnetic energy until the stone(s) are pulverized. I didn't feel a thing after waking up. Downside is just creepy. You piss blood for 1-2 weeks (!!!) but no pain, just freaky. The tiny, tiny fragments come out and I was asked to piss through a small filter to get these remnants and put in a container for the lab to analyze. Urine looking like you're giving blood or a transfusion is the creepy part but no pain in the entire process was a good thing.

Blood in your tightly whities means you made the goal line.

Drink beer, lots of beer. It will help you relax and the stone will pass much easier than with just water. It's worked for me several times. Good luck.
