Kidney stone...not fun

So I guess that the title of the thread gives it away. I passed a kidney stone at about 01:30 yesterday morning, and I must say, what a truly awful experience. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. But all is well now, and all I can say thank God for Demerol!

    Ouch. That is one thing I hope I never experience. Glad you're past the worst of it now.

    Man I thought I had one about 3 weeks ago, but I never go to the doctors so who knows.
    Hoping I dodged a bullet.

    None of mine were calcium based, they were all protein based. Allopurinol solved that problem (same stuff they prescribe for gout)...

    This sounds like perhaps the worst experience one could possibly have...

    A year ago last December I had one. God damn, what a miserable experience. Went to the hospital, and the idiot who was putting in the IV missed the vein. It was a whole night of fun. If I ever see that guy again I'm going to punch him in the face.
