Not fun

Here's an oldie but goodie https://tubeamparchive.com/viewtopic.ph ... highlight=

After doing some research I came to the conclusion I didn't drink enough liquids. Every mourning I make myself drink 10-12 oz's of water and try to drink more throughout the day. So far so good.

Hang in there, it gets better.

I used to work with a guy that had kidney stones all the time. We'd be standing around the truck at break and he'd come up and through a tiny little rock on the hood. Plink I just peed this out

Demand drugs good ones if they try to give you hydro's tell em stick em up there ass

[eniam rognab]

thanks guys, reading Randall's thread now, thanks for that buddy...

thought i had appendicitis, but then i checked and your appendix is on the right side, i have a gunshot through my left side...

Dr. saw how much pain i was in and gave me Percocets, gonna spend the rest of the day filling out an application to Tesla Motors

not pukey or nauseous.... yet.... i just wanna break shit!!!!!

[eniam rognab]

Doc also said there is a prescription to treat the stone (not just pain) and further treatments at a urologist which he is referring me to....

im only 26!! WTF!! be 27 in 9 days, happy fuckin birthday to me...

worst. summer. ever.

Bummer dude, nobody likes peeing rocks. Are a big soda drinker? I'm guessing your doc did or is doing some bloodwork?

[eniam rognab]

no, i cant stand carbonation... i take a sip out of the bottle and shake it up, let all that out slowly and repeat until un-carbonated. plus havent had any soda since a while ago...

Doc says it may be due to all the meds im on due to the motorcycle accident due to the guy drinking starbucks and changing lanes illegally into me.

so in the end its HIS FAULT, along with everything else....

owwwwww grooaaan!!!!

Ok good. Carbonated beverages are a sure path to physical ailments. Just pound a lot of water each and every day, henceforth.

Yeah, that is really shitty how some a-hole can ruin your quality of living with bad judgement. Hope you continue to get better from that wreck. I wish people like that would just corkscrew their cars at 80mph off a bridge. Rid us all of their selfish stupidity. My hedge against these morons is to take a train everyday, but the opportunity cost of not dying on the freeway is the long commute time.

thanks Colossal, i appreciate your sentiments, starting to feel better with NEW meds kicking in, probably going to cause another stone! hahaha

whats the name of the snake that is eating its tail?

Sure man, be well.

The snake eating its tail is the Ouroboros.

viewed my test results online a second ago, damn, thats a fast system!!

"4 mm distal left ureteral stone" WHEW!! dont wanna pee that out....

ahh yes, the ouroboros, how could i forget all those vowels? i have a good friend who is a sculptor and did a series of ouroboros sculptures, ill dig around and see if i can find pic of them; and check to see if its ok that i post them here.

thanks for all the support y'all!!

[Ken Moon]

Glad the meds are helping.

There is a website called kidneystoners.org (cool name, eh?) that has tons of info.

Beware though, some people handle medical info better than others - whenever I read about the symptoms of a medical condition, I can easily convince myself that I have it

[NickC]

Been there, done that. Awful!

Went by ambulance to the emergency room ...... MRI, CAT, X-Rays ..... all the time I was telling them what was the matter ..... but they don't listen. Finally hooked me up to a Demerol IV drip. Demerol didn't completely eliminate the agony, but it took the edge off and made it bearable.

Good Well Soon!

[eniam rognab]

thanks Ken, gonna head over there and check it out. not usually a hypochondriac, but i used to be indecisive, now im just not sure...

Nick, saw your story on Randal's thread, thanks for your input and sentiments, just gotta bite the bullet.

percocet,
