Kidney Stone
- Thread starter Blackberry Smoke
- Start date
My son moved to Austin Tx last month. He went to ER there and has 4 stones. I think 3 in one kidney and 1 in another. First time
How large are they? Mine were only 3 mm and I felt like I was dying, and the doctor said those aren't even big. Said some can get to as big as 9 mm. I don't think I passed mine. Doctor thinks they traveled from my kidney and settled in my bladder.
The one I had last August was 7mm. It took me three weeks to pass it. Eventually urologist decided to go in and retrieve it. Had the surgery and it was gone. Apparently I had passed it a few days prior and didn't know it. $9,000 for nothing. Today's was only 2mm and it has already made it's way to my bladder but I swear it hurt more than last year's.
My doctor told me that sometimes the smaller ones hurt worse when leaving kidney and traveling through the tubes to the bladder because they bounce around and keep making contact with the walls of the tube. And the smaller ones are usually “spikey”.
I convinced a stripper to give me a blow job and offered a $100 bonus if she could pull it out. Sucker shot out and put her eye out. I swear it's the truth.
Actually, during that episode is when they found my afib and eventually quad by pass. Damn thing hurt like hell, but saved my life.
