Anyone Had Kidney Stones?

Just wondered if anyone has had kidney stones?

How big were the stone(s)? and what treatment were you given?

I ended up in hospital Friday night, was was kept in till Sunday afternoon with my 2nd bout of stones in 2 years . Stone had caused a blockage so I had a op Saturday afternoon to have a stent (plastic rod inserted) into my ureter (tube that runs between kidneys and badder). Toilet has now become my second home and I think I have enough drugs to open up a pharmacy!

Only day 2/7 and I'm bored, can't walk very far due to pain and been bed bound during all this hot weather!!!

Yes I have and I thought I was going to die (seriously). It was about 20years ago. I was given a whole bagful of tablets to help break up the stones. It took three days before I could pass even the smallest of stones. Not had them since. Knowing just how painful it is I feel for you. Hope you make a quick recovery.

Yes me, last Autumn.

I collapsed in a pile of vomit in the ladies at work, not very edifying.

I had to have intravenous morphine for the pain.

I passed it in hospital (we assume) I now make sure that I drink HUGE amounts of water, limit my coffee consumption as well as that of other things.

Mind you, I did go back to work that afternoon but I never want to experience pain like that again.

FAR worse than labour, comminuted fracture of my right tibia and spinal fracture!

I've never had kidney stones thank goodness but as a nurse I know that the medical profession considers it to be one of THE most painful conditions ever I really feel sorry for you hun. I hope you feel better soon. Drink lots!!

Isn't apple juice meant to help? As it's high in malic acid. Hope you get well soon.
