Title: Kidney Stones Suck Big Time!!
Post by: Willy on June 09, 2008, 05:30:57 PM
Well the VA Hospital blasted my kidney stones apart and I am passing them. Had to go to the emergency room for IV Pain Meds and morphien to deal with the pain!! I have passed over 30 of them so far and there is a 6mm one stuck in a tube that they said has to pass even if I don't like it! That is around 1/4 inch and so far the biggest one was just over 1/8" and I wanted to tear brackets off the wall when it shot out the end. More pain meds the better so I can deal with having this baby real soon! Glad this was done after I built the cabin cause it will be a while before I do any work around here again. Mark

I've heard that that is about the closest comparable pain to childbirth, but generally at least with having a baby, it is over in a few hours or days at the most!  Maybe you should ask them if they can just give you an epidural?   ;D  No, seriously, though I hope you're feeling better soon!

We have patients come in all the time with kidney stones - they are not happy campers!  Takes a lot of pain medication to help make them comfortable...  hopefully you are doing better!
