I'm just 21 when I had it too. Talk about a surprise.

Thankfully it was ruled that I hadn't drank enough water with my pre-workout I was using at the time.

My kidney stones experience was a little different than most but still just as horrific. Mine came in two stages:

The first was when the stone moved from my kidney to my bladder. It started with lower back pain. Within a couple of hours I was rolling around on the ground vomiting. The pain would come in waves. I was alone at my farm about 40 miles from a hospital. I tried driving myself to the ER but only made it about one mile and I had to get out of the truck and vomit again. Finally turned around and made it back to the house. Crawled in bed and sucked my thumb dealing with the pain finally passed out and woke up 14 hours later and really didn't feel all that bad.

Went about two days with no other symptoms. Thought I was through with it. Then suddenly I had the urge to pee but nothing would come out. Total nightmare. Full bladder, pain, and your mind screaming at you to piss. But nothing coming out. I'm drinking gatorade and anything I can to flush it out.

Finally made it to the Doc In The Box after about 6 hours. He gave me pain meds and muscle relaxers. Finally got enough of that in me to pass out. Woke up about 2 in the morning and pissed like a race horse. That must have been it. Woke up at daylight feeling fine.

On a scale of 1 to Suicide it was a solid 7.5. Next time I feel that happening again I'm going straight to the ER.

I never imagined how someone could throw up from such immense pain until I had a kidney stone.

Went to the emergency room and did an MRI. They found two jagged pieces of calcium about the size of small pea in one of my kidneys.

Too big to pass so they did the Lithotripsy (ultra-sound wave) approach on my left kidney and put a J stint up my pee hole to allow the broken chunks of razor sharp calcium fragments to pass through.

After I came too from this procedure, I crawled from the hosiptal bed to the bathroom and peed blood. Left the hospital that afternoon and went home. Peed calcium fragments and blood for a while through a strainer they gave me. I collected the fragments for the uroligist.

The J-stint stayed in for a couple of weeks until the uroligist removed it with no local anesthetic.


To this day, I try to drink as much water as possible. Every day.

My appendix ruptured when I was 11. That was pretty fricking painful.

Sciatic nerve pain.

I've had both and can say the pain from the stones is intense but it isnt permanent. The sciatic pain is like having red hot wires running down my arse and legs 24/7 for the last 7 years. Resulted in a addiction to pain killers.. got off of those and could only sleep if I drank till I passed out. I'd go through a half gallon of 90 proof rum a night.

I'm finally off of everything and still cannot sleep. I scratch the pain in my arse while I sleep and wake up with blood on my fingernails. Tried ambien but would still wake up from the pain and do really dumb shite I would not remember. One night I stumbled into bed soaked from head to toe with blisters all over my feet. Wife realized my jetta wasnt in the drive... uhh ohh. Next morning we followed the trail of burnt rubber and car pieces to find the car in the Ouachita river 4 miles away. Apparently I ran right off the low water bridge. I dont take sleeping pills anymore lol

I've had a few. This was the worst one. If you get one like this, don't keep any loaded guns around the house.

Jesus this thread is scary


It sounds like an experiance I'd like to be shitfaced dunk for, but the whole pissing thing elimimates that. Perhaps a handful of percosets and vodka tampons up my arse would suffice?

They didn't give me that choice. But I did have a colonoscopy without anesthesia once.

I've been lucky to not have kidney stones. But I did have an ovarian cyst rupture this week and it was painful enough to keep me doped up and in bed for a day.

My wife has them chronically. Most aren't "too" bad & she's able to pass them in a day or two. Been to a few nephrologists & urologists & they can't say why. I guess it's an MRI, but you can see them sitting in her kidneys.

My doc put me on allopurinol about 5 years ago and I haven't had one since.
