Even bigger yikes. I'd ask for sedation.

Oh trust me, you're correct.

Nurse Ratchet kept coming in at night and waking me up every hour to do various things to me including several ultrasounds to check fluid level in my bladder. I kept telling her I wasn't pregnant. Things were ok until she got a read over 300, something rather and it came back at 400 something. The old hide wanted to install a catheter. I told her she got a bad read and to hit the road. I got up and took another burning piss and the next time she did it the level was fine.

a ****in weeks worth.

I used to know of a cleanse that internally dissolves or does something to them. The lady who passed it onto me doesn't live here anymore. She swears by it. I did her gallstone cleanse, and swear to god, hundreds of them passed. I felt like a quarry that morning. Her mother did it and brought them into the doctor who recommended surgery and he couldn't believe his eyes.

This!

I have had 2 co-workers get kidney stones. The pain freaked them out and to this day are never seen with out a bottle of water at hand. The doc said men get these things because they typically dehydrate themselves so much. He told them to hydrate often to reduce rick of recurring. I guess they have heeded the advice.

Should've let me know you were in town. I could've brought you some water. :D

Kind of depends on the size, as I understand it. Super tiny means "go home, drink lots of water, and pee it out. Oh, and it will feel like you're pissing razor blades, and don't worry about the blood in your urine."

Slightly bigger may mean either removal via catheter etc., with or without sonic treatment to "break them up".

Bigger than that, even, means surgery to dig them directly out. They prefer you to pee them out (at phenomenal pain) rather than do the surgery though.

I have only experience phase one of the misery. First thing I noticed was lower back pain. So severe I thought I was going to throw up while sitting at a Friendly's. I had to go to the car while my family finished dinner.

A day or three later or whatever it was "oh, hey, my piss is blood red. That's not something I'm used to seeing. Let's call a doctor ****ing IMMEDIATELY."

I had no idea the back pain was related, but it was.

They did a scan and found a SUPER tiny kidney stone or three. Like unbelievably small. Could barely see them small. I'm like "those caused phenomenal back pain and made me piss blood?!?" Yep.

I passed them without further pain (thank God), and have been MUCH better about drinking water since. That shit will make you find religion on the subject of drinking water pretty goddamn fast.

Of you can bet your last dime on that.

At one point I would have asked for a Glock rather than water.

That's very helpful.

years and years ago(70's) my mom had to have one surgically removed because it wouldn't pass. very serious operation back then.

after it was over, the doc told her the stone was large and covered w/spurs, which added a lot to the pain.

I can probably get it, but only if he's interested.
