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.
