Got a kidney stone Saturday morning. Thought it was a nasty stomach virus at first but no…….. Got rid of it yesterday! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!
My advice to anyone reading this:

DON’T F^CKING GET ONE!

Damn thing felt like I took a .45 slug to left side, instead they tell me was probably something the size of a grain of sand.

The doc said lots of water. I've been drinking so much water my wife says she can hear the ocean when she stands next to me.

Well I’m back among the walking and typing so I figured I’d just check in and say happy hump day!

Damn... glad you're alright. I hear those suckers are about as painful as it gets. Hope I never get one (knocking on wood).

I think ample quantities of cigars and booze should help. That totally sucks, man.

I hear that's one of the most painful things a man can experience--you're tough as sh*t, Bro! I had an injury to the balls once that required surgery--yea, that sucked pretty bad. But I was too young to self-medicate back then, lol.

I feel your pain, literally!! I had one several years back, passed it at work. I called my Dr and the receptionist actually asked me was I sure?!?!? After a few choice words they opened up an immediate appointment, my entire system was out of whack and I wasn't smoking cigars back then so it took awhile before I was back to my old self. Yes, water, water, water that helps.

Yea that are tiny as hell, and can bring mountian men to there knees.

I use to take x-rays for a living and when we would do test to look where the stones were they would ask how big it was. And when they passed it the saw that is is mostly the size of a grain of salt.

Sorry to hear of it, I am gald you are better.

Thanks guys.

Booze and cigars sounds like my kind of therapy!
Gotta get back to work now but I’ll start treatment as soon as I get home.

I have passed three. Drink more water is what they tell me. It is the worst pain I have ever felt in my life.
