Kidney stones suck

[hoosierdaddy1976]

I've had stones a few times, been probably a dozen years since my last one. Felt like being simultaneously punched in the stomach and kicked in the groin. Wrecked both my guts and my nuts.

Snoop,
Lucky catch on the AAA
I had mine repaired in 2022 after the aneurysm reached 5cm
I’ve also had kidney stones so I know your pain. Did they mention high frequency treatment for the stones ?
Good luck

That is what I am having done. They still call it Surgery since they are also going to be inserting a stent. I have multiple stones, besides the one causing the problem. Hope to blast them all out in one treatment.

**** phone picture hard to see the detail, last one I captured after it passed, it made a "clink" sound when it hit the porcelain.
It's about 1/4" long, had these oval spear head features sticking out at weird angles, that's a Kershaw Leek for scale. Party.

Wow. Twinsies...

Thankfully, only one I've ever had. Didn't think I had horrible pain leading up to it's passing. More like moderate, increasing discomfort, so I didn't really even have the thought of a kidney stone on my radar. But when it passed, oh boy. The pain and horror of, WTF just came out of my d!!k?!?!?

And after it passed, the feeling of relief was indescribable. If they could bottle that feeling as a drug, I'd be an hooked. I think I was in a lot more pain than I realized but the slow build up just made it tolerable.

Today has been fun. Had the surgery to remove three kidney stones. Doc said the stone blocking my kidney was harder than chinese arithmetic. They used a laser to break it up. Now I have a stent as an lifestyle accessory until Wednesday. Get to yank that out like a pull starter on a lawn mower.
