| ...my right side is hurting, right over the kidney. I wonder if I've got another kidney stone forming there. |
Damn Chrome is doing it too

Quoted:
I see an ER visit in your future. GO NOW. Been there. Done that. 7 times. Praying for you... Thanks for prayers and friendly thougths. I had one about 5 years ago, it sucked big time. I started a thread about it and got lots of replies. People who had experienced gunshot wounds, heart attacks and natural labor said they'd rather go through that again than another kidney stone. It's in a very minor pain stage right now, and has been for over an hour. if I'm lucky it'll stay that way. Last time it progressed to WAY lots more pain than it has so far. |

BTDT a few times, no fun at all. You have my sympathy... +1. I feel your pain, OP! And pray that it's small enough that you can pass it. I had to have a 6mm stone forcibly removed this summer. I wasn't a candidate for lithotripsy because the stone had managed to make it's way down to just outside the bladder. Yeah. There's only one way to get it out at that point. 
Get the doc to also give you a script for Flowmax. Good luck. |

Well, I seem to have dodged the bullet this time. The pain was definately the same as the precursor to my last stone, but it was gone when I woke up at around noon. (I work graveyard shift.)
Thanks to all for your prayers and support! Little known kidney stone fact: The first submerged circumnavigation by USS Triton, was compromised by a seaman who had a kidney stone! They didn't "officially" surface to get him off the sub, but they did expose enough of the sail to make their claim highly suspect. The voyage was commanded by Captain Edward L. Beach, author of "Run Silent, Run Deep" and several other fiction and nonfiction books*. *One I highly recommend is The Wreck of the Memphis, detailing his father's command of that ship, which foundered in a Dominican Republic harbor due to a sudden influx of seismic ocean waves. |
