I had bad ones two years ago and haven't had them again until the 4th.

They don't effect me as bad as most. I have a really high pain tolerance.

Happy Monday y'all (even tho I've already been working all weekend)

Sinus headache last two days. Last night I felt so horrible that when I got home, I ate, showered and went to sleep. I can't remember the last time I was in bed before 8pm...

@Robin Haselden glad you are feeling better!

I'm good. Passed a second stone and feel like a million bucks now. Was a rough few days though. LOL!

Are they the calcium variety? If so we may need to discuss the other stuff we talked about.

My dad and brother both have an ongoing problem with kidney stones! @dantimdad I'm sorry!

I've passed three so far and they're absolutely terrible! Doctor described it as one of the worst pains a human body can naturally go through.

stones feel wonderful. I had one back a few years. Nothing feels better than passing a razor blade. Glad you are feeling better.

Yeah, I know it's a Dylan song but couldn't pass on the double whammy!

Nope. The last ones were phosphates almost 100% very small amount of protein. They were from drinking too much diet soda. Couldn't save one for examination this time but, was told it could take years for all the crud from the diet pepsi to get out of my system. I drank 4+ 20 oz sodas a day for years. Absolutely stupid on my part.

I know. I have been present when some family members were getting into a heated argument about the pain difference between the two. Very entertaining at least.

Loki broke out of his kennel and destroyed a few things in his room. Mostly boxes and substrate for the geckos and tarantulas that we have. He was trying to suck up.
So we've upped walks and he now has a pink doggie back pack.

dantimdad · Jul 8, 2019

So you named him Loki and you expect him to behave? LOL!!!

All the female nurses I've had said it's comparable or worse, especialy since you get a pebble at the end instead of a baby lol

Pain is also different from person to person.

*** I'd also like to add to all you kidney stone passers out there that I was told by my urologist that lemon is one of the few things that can prevent the formation of kidney stones. I wasn't about to drink lemon water every day, so I ordered dehydrated lemon pills from Seagate through Amazon. I take two in the morning. So far it's been the longest I've ever gone without passing a stone by two years (i was averaging once a year and it's been three). My last ct scan, the nurse said "you have a **** ton of stones in your kidneys." But they were all small. Since taking the lemon, I've felt minimal pain here and there which I think we're the small stones being passed.

Hear my advice! Could just be anecdotal, but it seems to be working very well for me. Stones won't deteriorate in your kidneys, but the acid in lemons prevents their formation. Lemons are also very healthy for your health and digestive track.

It must be because I know people who can't function when they have them. I get a little back ache and then they hurt for about 10 seconds when they pass.

Tearing three stomach muscles in half was MUCH more painful.
