just got out of the hospital, 9mm kidney stone plugging up the pipe. they ran a stint up to get it but it ran back into the kidney and they couldn't reach it. off to pittsburg next week! this is my 6th one,also the largest.

Prayers sent

I’m working on my second right now, 7mm. Going in tomorrow for an ultrasound to see where it’s at and decided whether to wait it out or go in and get it. Haven’t had any pain in 3 weeks, but I’m sure once we start cutting hay again it’s gonna make it’s move. Dr. Says there’s a good chance to pass it but it’s gonna be rough.
Hope everything works out for you!

Prayers sent....those suck !

I would die! I think kidney stones are more of an American thing compared to Canadian.

Is it caused by eating grease?

Calcium from drinking hard water.

Net said can be caused by not drinking enough water?

I went camping over memorial day weekend and had my buddy take me to the ER Friday night. I wasn't feeling right for a couple of hours and when I starting projectile vomiting from the pain it was time to go. Mine was 3mm and they couldn't give me enough drugs. I'm glad there was only one.

Praying for you my friend

It's from not drinking enough water.

Used to have then few years back when working in a foundery. Sweating a lot not enough water. After the last time started drinking 2 gal of water a day. NONE since.

MORE WATER and then some more !!!!!!!!!!!!

If you don't stay hydrated and have a stone, your going to be prone to more, sad fact, unless you change your diet as well, stay away from carbonation to it's a binder for the minerals that your body can leach away while it needs moisture, if you can control both of them your going to be a lot better off,,,stress is a factor as well

Good Luck, I have a small bottle of them and each is a reminder that I took to long to change my diet !!

I had a 5mm years ago the day before the NTA in Montgomery City, MO. I walked around with a big bottle of water drinking as much water as I could all day in a lot of pain. That 1st night in the hotel room I woke up at midnight & passed it I was a 100% better after that.

i' m also a diabetic. only drink water, green ice tea and almond milk for breakfast.

How long does your history go back ? I'd drop the tea it's not any better for you than a soda, full of minerals and stuff your kidneys leech out. Without a lot of water they build up and bind together until a stone breaks lose.

What do you do for work and how much water do you really drink a day, supposed to have at least 2 to 3 liters, most don't even come close to that without having stones. Unless it's beer which is bad as well !!

Good thing about stones is the more you have your pain tolerance goes up, bad thing is that the little ones sooner or later turn into big ones that won't pass without sonic treatment or surgery, talked to lots who tried the stint method and it just moved them back up.

Best method I have found to move them is a large motor cycle on a long ride with good vibration on your back and kidneys, once they drop into your bladder it's over, though I did once have a large one lock up just before being passed out the main vein so to speak, I then thought I was in deep do do, but walked around a bit drank a whole lot of water waited an hour or so until I felt the need to go, then drank some more and another half hour, went and it passed was the size of a pencil eraser, largest I've passed so far but it had had jagged ears on it so it wedged itself in on the way out, should get it mounted LOL

Just keep the water flowing and never just lie down when passing one it's best to keep moving and manipulating them muscles to force movement !!

That sounds worse than giving birth,lol.

Wait till you have one 1.2cm and another in the bladder 1.5cm. Surgery is only option. Doc said it would have killed me in the old days.

Thinking of you. I had a client from Oklahoma that hunted with me for 10 years. He passed over 60!!!! I can’t imagine
