Has anyone on this board passed a kidney stone? If so, what was it like?
>>85427344Like pissing fire. First, as it worked its way down from my kidney I was pissing blood. Not just pink urine, dark red fluid. As it was coming down, I almost passed out from the pain while driving my car. When it finally came out I thought my penis had split in two.This was 20+ years ago. I spent three weeks in the hospital because the stone was so big. Had several rounds of lithotripsy and they ended up putting a tube into my kidney to drip a fluid on it to dissolve it.
>>85427364Thanks for reminding me to drink water
>>85427344my sister has had three kids and she said kidney stones were way worse than child birth
>>85427364What exactly caused you to have this experience? Was it hot conditions, a lack of water, genetics, or something drug-related?
>>85427375I had kidney disease when I was younger so they were already in bad shape. But the doctors couldn't pinpoint the reason. No one else (parents or siblings) had any kidney issues.
