kidney stones man

[BlackCanary]

They fucking suck. I have a 7mm stone hanging out in my left kidney. Yay!... I have surgery on Friday to have them break up the stone. 

My mom loves me so much, she gave me some awesome genetics. She tells me I can blame her whenever I have a stone.

Booo I just had a lithotripsy and stent insertion at the beginning of Feb and I've had the stent in ever since. Kidney issues are a bitch! The lithotripsy broke my stones up but I still have one small fragment hanging out in there. The stent is in because I had scar tissue from previous stones causing a blockage and hydronephrosis. Good luck with your surgery!

[wowhead]

That sucks! I had a tiny one and thought I was going to die.

I'm sorry! I'm glad you have the surgery scheduled. I also had one and thought I was going to die. But they said I had to try and pass it for 7-10 days before they would schedule surgery unless I had other issues. Thank god for pain meds.

Oh man! I'm so sorry. I had a 7mm stone that they had to remove because it was too far down to do the litho. I have never been in so much pain. Labor doesn't even compare.

I'm so sorry mine was only 3mm and I legit was crawling to the bathroom to puke. I can't imagine how you must be feeling! I hope surgery helps you feel better asap!

They are the WORST. I've had so many, I've lost count. My first one was when I was 14. There was a while where I'd get one a year while I was in college. I haven't had an attack in a long time (knock on wood). I hope you feel better soon!

Man, I would not wish that shit on my worst enemy. With my most recent attack, I ended with a stent and lithotripsy. It was terrible. I really hope the lithotripsy works and you feel better soon.

The last stone I was able to pass and actually get for the doctor was 3mm. Fucking a that hurt like a bitch!

Same here. My first one was when I was 20, same as my mom.
