I thought I had died and was in hell the one time I passed a kidney stone. I was not a happy camper. Sometime later I had surgery to remove like 90 nuggets from my bladder; nowhere near as bad as trying to whizz out what feels like a sea urchin working its way down the pipeline. Man, I'm really hoping they can bust them up for you.

Saw a program on TV that said Soda is a major cause.
I feel that cutting that with a mix of whisky 50/50 should dissolve everything in your innards, stones included.

Seriously, I've had stones twice. Said they were microscopic. I went for a month each time with the sensation I had to pee 24/7.
The Doc's told me they had a valve blocked partially open in the bladder that gives one the sensation of having to go constantly.
I don't want to experience what your going through. I hear it brutal, and your backing that up.

Been there. 1st was 98'- ER trip, 2nd 00'- ER trip, 3rd- 07' I knew what it was and drank water til I passed it. I drink several 16oz bottles of water with sliced lemons a day and haven't had any more in years. My dad had em too so I suppose its genetic.

I'm pretty sure no doctor ever said "Congratulations!" when he told someone they have kidney stones.

I bet I know one who has..... ;)

I've passed a couple small ones, not fun at all. Alcohol helped (like it seems to help everything :D ).

One of my buddies passed one that was 11mm at home.

Stop and think about that... :bowdown:
