I always knew kidney stones hurt, didnt know THAT much!

pyrocasto

Man was it a sh*tty day! About 10 oclock this morning I started to feel a dull ache, and 5 minutes later I could barely stand. I never realized kidney stones hurt before they even reach the bladder, and hurt is an understatement. If you stuck a dagger in my left side, it wouldnt have felt worse than my right side... Shocked

So in the end how did it go? Me in excruciating pain in the truck and at the hospital waiting room, for it all to disappear before the doctor came. I got an MRI to confirm it, but otherwise I didnt get any pain meds during or after so I spent couple grand today for a pat on the back saying it's all easy sailing from here... Confused

At least give me some drugs so the next time something happens I can pop one for the car ride/waiting room!

For me stones have come in a cluster. If I was in your shoes I'd start drinking a lot of water asap.

Got an inguinal hernia that i'm having surgery on tuesday. It's gonna suck, but it's not exactly been comfortable to stand around at work all day with.

Kidney stones suck. Them moving from the kidney to the bladder is the toughest part, when they're in the ureter. However, I'd HIGHLY recommend sitting to pee until you pass it. The ones I've had weren't bad to pass because they were busted up by ultrasound. But I've got a buddy who was passing one at a urinal and the pain literally put him down right there. Pissed himself and all over the place.

Meh, they have never hurt me when pissing them out and I have had some large enough to stop up my pee hole for a second. Moving from the kidney to the bladder is when the suckiness happens.

Diet diet diet

Too many to count for me. 12?

Strawberries don't eat them, spinich same thing. Anything high in oxilates don't ever touch. For the love of god never take a multi vitamin again.

^this. I stopped eating nuts basically altogether, and don't eat sunflower seeds at all (because they were salted to hell).

Haven't taken multi-v's in years. There is enough vitamin content in the food most of us eat.

If you are prone to a repeat session, I would talk to a dietician about getting things on the best path possible to avoid. They don't get any better with time!

Okie Boarder,

Too much of a good thing is no longer a good thing. I'm not 100% on that, but I'd imagine thats what it is.

I've had dozens if not hundreds of stones and every procedure possible to remove them. I got them like clock work until my doctor prescribed medical grade Magnesium. If you have Calcium Oxalate stones look into it...

tbonez holy crap...

Oakey My body obviously can't process the extra whatever is in a multi vitamin. I'm assuming the rules are the same down there as they are in Canada. there's really no regulations put on the Vitamins up here. They list what's in them but they may not necesarily contain the exact stuff that they say they contain on the box. Or may something extra that's not listed.

That was according to my Dr.

Bambamski, they are pretty specific down here listing all ingredients in the item. Lots of supplements have to have an additional flip-open label to get all of the info needed on the bottle.

So, are the MV's bad for everyone or only those that are sensitive to their ingredients?

Chavez

we list everything on our vitamin packages as well.

I think my dr was saying and what I was trying to say is that it's not regulated very well. Whatever agency is looking at these products aren't making sure what is in the vitamins are what's exactly on the packaging...

I'm sure they're pretty accurate, but my dr was basically saying the multi V you're taking could cantain 200% of your daily requirement of vitamin D vs 100% on the box....

All I know is once I altered my diet and stopped taking Vitamins I haven't had another kidney stone... knocking on wood right now.

Interesting...thanks for the info guys. It isn't something I've ever really looked in to.

I wonder how long a stone can take to make. I didnt know if this was something created in previous weeks/months or something building for years.

Energy drinks thing is interesting, as I used to drink at least one monster or redbull(big one) a day but in the last year or so I've cut it to a couple a month.

Excessive Vitamin C is a biggie.
