I have one...it hurt really bad yesterday in my lower back, and the doctor did a cat scan on me and they saw a stone...today i feel fine though, no pain at all..anyone else ever have this experience? the doc did give me some morphine for the pain when it eventually comes, so that should be fun;)
awww man i feel bad for u...im 19 so ive never had the pleasure yet...but my father has had like 8 or 9 overall(he drinks alot, i think this has something to do with it),...and one year he had 3 in the same year...supposedly one of the most painful things that can happen to a man...my dads doctor told him that the pain from a kidney stone is one of the only pains a man can feel that is relative to giving birth...have fun, smoke up take them pills and do the best u can...and remember when ur passing the stone...its ok for men to cry, cuz its gonna make u want to
My dad had one many years back and they used this machine where it sent soundwaves into his kindeys that broke up the stone. Why don't I ever hear of doctors using that?:wtf:
they do alot of times, but if the stone is to big theres nothing they can do because when they use the soundwaves u still have to pass the broken up stones...so if the stone is relatively small they'll do it because u wont feel them passing...but if its large ull be able to feel everyone,so they figure its less painful to have to pass one larger stone that u can feel, rather than 10-15 smaller stones that u can still feel
I've had em - couldnt piss em out either, had to have an op. Infact, beleive it or not, i have them in a little plastic container somewhere. I thought i'd keep em.
They say it's as bad if not worse than childbirth - and beleive me, it IS.
I'll try and take a picture later. Need to find them first lol.
so far it isn't too painful...yesterday i was in a lot of pain in my side and back, but today i fell almost completely fine...weird huh?
I know. It is. You can be in excrutiating pain one day and then you'll be fine for a week - and then it'll hit you again at the worst time [during sex for me - i buckled up in pain]Quote:

If you're not in pain today, chances are it has moved on through, Jacked. That's what small kidney stones do. I've had three of them, all relatively small. They hurt when they're in the kidneys and ureters, and they sort of burn low down in the pelvis as they settle in the bladder. Then they move on through the urethra and out of the body and don't cause any more pain once they've passed. My docs always tell me the same thing. Drink a lot of water and keep active and moving to help them pass. Not fun.
Wait wait.. how do you get a kidney stone?
Dehydration. Having an excess of stone-forming substances in the urine, such as high concentrations of calcium oxalate or phosphate, uric acid or cystine. Certain diseases like gout or hyperparathyroidism. Having had surgeries that take out or bypass part of the small intestine (this is why I get them). Men get them more frequently than women, particularly middle-aged men.
