I'm surprised that they didn't try ultrasonic therapy, at the hospital, to break the stones down and make them easier to pass.
You have my sympathy on this one:( |
They have to use anesthesia (whatever) when they do that to you. I dunno why, but I just read it. I think they only do that for the really really BIG ones! Fortunately, I think mine is small, cause the pain seems to have gone away, leaving me with a small cramped feeling in my abdomen... but I also been told the pain will come and go for days because it takes a while to pass :nervous:
I hope the pain stays away til Above & Beyond are done tonight too.. I don't wanna miss them!
btw, I appreciate everyone's sympathy :toocool: |

read this remedy on teh intraw3b:
"Mix 2 oz of olive oil and 2 oz of lemon juice, drink it straight down and follow with a large glass of water at the first sign of stone pain"
apparently the person that recommended it said she dissolved several kidney stones with that |

it flushes all the stones out of you, even if you do not have any pain, it's called kidney cleansing. But when the stones start to come out, prepare for the pain :tongue3 |

Dang Kris, sorry to hear about that. Drinking lots of water should help a bit, although, it's really better as a preventative measure.
Don't even bother with this liver/colon/kidney cleansing stuff, it's all a load of snake oil and general rubbish. You will never, ever get those "remedies" from an actual doctor or nurse or other professional health source, it's always found in the context of "alternative medicine". Ask Drew. But then, I'm sure that's just because the drug companies want you to spend your money on pain killers. (That last part was sarcasm.)
People believe that there's physical evidence for some of these remedies (like the oil/citrus juice/epsom salt one) because they actually see "stones" in what they eliminate afterwards. But those aren't actually gall/kidney stones, they're just the saponified remains of the mixture itself, which is quite easy to prove by simply mixing them in a glass and letting it sit for a while. It should be obvious that they're soap, and not stones, by the fact that they (a) float in water, (b) are not hard or sharp, and (c) are usually a translucent green. It should also be a little suspect that the same "cleanser" is supposed to work for the kidney, liver, AND gall bladder (miracle koor!).
Sorry for the rant, I would just really hate to see someone who's in real pain get duped into that garbage.
All you can really do is wait it out and keep taking those pain killers. Hope you get it over with soon dude! |

that's true Kris, which is biggest bs ever :whip: a friend of a friend was in so much pain some time ago, probably as bad as you or worse, and they just wouldn't use the ultra sound on him
if I'm mistaken, he went to States to do it there instead |
