Kidney Stones

Any of you get em?

I've gotten them since I was a teenager. The first couple were so bad that I would've killed myself due to the pain if I'd have had the means. Luckily I then went 7 years without having any problems. Then three weeks ago I began having trouble. I've been hopped up and strung out on pain meds for almost three weeks straight while trying to go to school and it's sucked. On top of that I've been taking Flomax so I've had to piss like a racehorse non-stop and if I stand up too quick I pass out.

I just passed that bastard and it wasn't a moment too soon. I was scheduled to have an "invasive" procedure tomorrow morning to take it out. I can't tell you how relieved I am.

So, am I alone? Anybody else cursed like I am?

I'm surprised I haven't had any yet. I used to eat KFC three times a week.

one of my friends has a stone factory in his kindey. Poor guy has had them removed 10 times by now. Poor bastard says he sometimes has to piss them out. Ouch.

I pissed mine out this time. I'll take that over having it taken out any day. There are just some holes where things shouldn't be shoved whether you're unconscious or not.

No but I feel your pain. I suffer from pancreatitis and the nurses and doctors told me that the only thing close to the pain is having stones or being in labor. I wanted to kill myself a few times.

You gave a link to it below, but you can break up some stones with lithotripsy. Mine was a fairly large stone and the problem is that if you break up one big stone, you can be left with several smaller, but still painful and obstructive stones, that you still have to pass. Sometimes you break one up and the smaller pieces come out with no problem. Other times you break up a big stone and are left having to pass several smaller stones that hurt just as much.

never had them, thank God.

im so glad i don't have kidneys anymore after my trip to south america

My dad had them once. And refused to call the doctor for at least an hour. Apparently he should have passed out from the pain lol.

fuck man...FUCK, im only 19 and now ill have to wake up everyday praying to whatever god i wont get kidney stones


...yeah i had to look it up

ways to decrease the chance of getting kidney stones

Eat less meat. Due to increased intake of animal proteins, the incidence of kidney stones is 10 times more prevalent now than it was at the turn of the century.

Step2
Drink plenty of fluids - one study has shown that people who drink more than 2 1/2 liters of water every day have almost a 40 percent decrease in the risk of developing a stone than those who drank less water.

Step3
Limit consumption of grapefruit juice and cola drinks. Studies have shown that these may actually increase the risk of developing stones.

Step4
Adopt a diet high in potassium and magnesium - these minerals decrease the likelihood of kidney stones.

Step5
Talk to your doctor about taking supplements such as pyridoxine and magnesium. Taken together, these reduce oxalate, a mineral salt found in kidney stones.

Step6
Limit your calcium and salt intake.

I wouldn't worry too much about them. They're still relatively uncommon, especially in the young. Drinking lots of water is the best way to prevent them, and that's probably my biggest problem. I'm just not a big drinker in general (of water). Also, as far as step 6 goes, quite paradoxically they've found that high-calcium diets actually decrease stones in those that make the calcium type. Even more interesting is that if you take non-dietary calcium (pills) it increases your risk. The bottom line though is that it's mostly genetics. If you have a stone-former in your immediate family, you're much more likely to have one at some point. If you don't, your chances aren't zero, but they're pretty low.
