Short story long.
up until about 98 I was one of those superhero superstrong super men that no one could stop and nothing could hurt. I never smoked, never did drugs, rarely drank, perfect credit, only at healthy food, blah blah blah.

One day one of my kidneys became obstructed and started to shut down.
I had a bunch of surgery and quit working out 6 days a week and stopped eating healthy.
Then, every couple years, I would get kidney stones...not just one, usually 4 to 8 at a time. Apparently I even get kidney stones like a superhuman!!

So about 5 weeks ago I get some horrible upper respiratory infection......(thought I had swine flu!)
As I'm finally clearing that one up, I get kidney stones about 2 weeks ago. rather than do the emergency room as I'm so used to the pain, I decide to do the urologist and wait for my doctor appts.
Unfortuneately about Monday it became unbearable and I went to the hospital Tuesday.
Then I went home, Thursday I start puking my guts out and having horrible pain again!!
So back to the old hospital ( a story in itself) and 2 more kidney stones (I must have been pissing a few out in the last 2 weeks)
Not why I'm whining. So mister healthy , always 120 over 80 blood pressure perfect heart health start throwing pvc's!!

They checked me 3 other times as I told them it was probably just a mistake as I was in excrutiating pain the first time they checked me. Nope, bad every time. they wanted to keep me and check my heart out but I had hospital burn out by then.
So I guess I'll see my regular doctor soon.

Sorry for whining, I don't really have any one to bitch to.

This is what I want to say: Do drugs, drink a lot, smoke like a chimney, screw hookers and tattoo your face. Apparently healthy living isn't worth it................anyone want to do some coke and strippers soon!!

 

At least I know i'm in the right forum lol

 

I don't belong here, but I'm sorry to hear about what ur goin thru. I will keep you in my prayers. I wish the best on ur recovery.

 

Sorry about your pains bro.


Im cool with the coke and whores, wheres the party?

 

Rick,

Do you eat a lot of spinage? There is a chemical in it that is highly increases chances of kidney stones.

-Mark

EDIT: I googled it.

Chemical risk factors include high levels of the following in the urine:

Calcium (hypercalciuria)
Cystine (cystinuria; caused by a genetic disorder)
Oxalate (hyperoxaluria)
Uric acid (hyperuricosuria)
Sodium (hypernaturesis)


However, Vitamin C helps break down kidney stones so drink up some OJ.

 

I get bad kidney stones. Not 2 or 3 at a time,.. but 1 every 2 yrs or so. Last 2 I had could not be pissed out,. they had to roto router up the pee hole to break it up. Last one was 7.3MM and the one before that was 9.1mm. Pain can be unbearable. I'm good at dealing with pain,.. but when the kidney stone pain is full blown its the only thing that will put me on my knees crying in pain begging for a shot of anything to make it go away.

I cant even begin to describe how bad it is. Imagine having your nuts beat on with a base ball bat over and over,.. then multiply that pain by infinity and you might come close to how bad a kidney stone feels. I want to pass out it gets so bad. There is no comfortable position you can get it,.. its just there,.. constantly reminding you. I changed my diet a dozen times,.. drink lots of water,.. cut back on soda,.. cut back on milk,.. cut my salt and sodium intake and I still get stones. Matter of fact I'm due for a stone any day now,.. been well over a year since my last one.

Through my experiences I have learned how to get through the emergency room faster,.. because despite the excruciating pain that your in,.. you can sit there for 30 - 45 minutes sometimes before you go in the back for that nice shot of demerol. All you have to do is say your having chest pains and they take you right in ahead of everyone in the waiting room. Demerol shot comes and pain goes away much quicker.

been hospitalized 5 times for stones . Last one I passed was 8mm after 3 days in the hospital. Its from dehydration. I drink so much water or gatoraid that my piss is almost always clear. Havent had any problems since I started doing that, only downfall is up pissing all night everynight. Fucking sucks , but the pain from a stone is worse. Hope you get better , man . High uric acid causes it too , like asparagus and red meat. Sodas will kill you anyway, so I completely stopped. But in the end I'll prolly get cancer from the water so it's prolly for nothing anyway

 

I've had them once and hopefully never agian......I'd rather be kicked in the nuts!

 

worst fuckin feeling ever had them twice...stay away from red drinks

 

Dude, we need to party!

Hope you get to feeling better.

Remember, a IV stand can be used for one serious beer bong!
