8 - 10 inches

[GreenPig]

What takes 120 hours, 9 beers, five 30 oz mugs of coffee, 23 bottles of water, 40+ hours of flopping around in a tub of hot water, 11 Percocet, and 9 Soma to travel 8 - 10 inches?

 

 

 

 

If you guessed "KIDNEY STONE". I'm sorry you know that immense pain and that it's 8 - 10" from your kidney to your bladder. But I just survived #40 something. Now back to fishing.

Got it

I won't post here again.

Had one in May of 2020.....worst pain I've ever felt.   Rolled on the floor for a few hours before I was convinced I was dying and had to get taken to ER.

 

From that day forward I've only drank water......cold turkey stopped every other beverage.   The pain is real lol.  

 

Get better friend, that's a massive one.   Change up some things to avoid those in the future.

I, for one, understood that you were injecting humor. I feel for you @GreenPig. Managed to go 61 of my 63 years without a kidney stone. Now I've had two and it's not fun.

[Bankbeater]

That looks painful.  Glad you got through it.

I’ve had 3 so far and understand how bad they hurt. Have your doctors found what’s causing them? Some foods and/or drinks I’ve been told can be the cause.

[Spankey]

I’ve had many of them also. Wish we could get together and swap some kidney stone stories. The pain is not funny as you well know. But after they pass or after the operation and think back on the places you got the attack or where you realize where you are with a stuck one can get pretty funny, but not at the time. 
 

Hope you feel better. Wish we could get a few good laughs.

Yeah. I started producing stones at 17 years old and have had 9 urologist since then. They've poked, prodded, tested, analyzed, and the conclusion is genetics. At some point the doctors have had me give up eating & drinking everything (cola, well water, dairy, salt, protein, vegetables, processed foods, etc.) If I completely ignore the nutritional needs for the rest on my body I could possibly stop the stone building. I hydrate, eat a balanced diet, and just deal with them as they hit. Actually had one doctor tell me a 6 pack of beer daily might help.

Dull the pain a bit I’d guess ?

[cheezyridr]

holy crap none of mine were anywhere near that size, and the pain was more than i want to re visit.  God bless you man, i hope you never have another

[scaleface]

Thats a lunker . I could barely see the one I passed and they tell me there are two more just biding their time .

[MN Fisher]

Ow-ow-ow

 

Knock on wood - I'm 63 and have yet to suffer a stone...friend of mine had one and while it had a shorter trip, she said that it was worse than giving birth without meds - one of her sons came quickly enough that ambulance didn't even make it to their house before little Jack made an appearance.

I've passed more than I care to say. I feel your pain brother!  I have done everything they have told me and yet they still appear. 

 

I drink water like there's no tomorrow and do my best with regards to staying away from soft drinks, dairy,  and broccoli. 

 

I simply know they will eventually happen no matter what I do. I have prescribed pain medication and wait it out.

Get a prescription of FloMax and take when a stone attacks. It really helps open the pipes and get it out.
