Has anyone had Kidney Stones?

[mike_s 32]

Amen! I've had four drug free labors and I will take that over a kidney stone ANY day! I've also experienced the full realm of stones from the easy, stints, lithotripsy, and even had kidney stones during my last two pregnancies.

I've only had one. I know I'll probably have another but I'm not looking forward to it.

Once you get them you are prone to them for life.

wow! Sounds exciting!! I really hope it's not that. I had to get back to work less than two weeks after my surgery because I have to handle business fast. I could not handle my business and that kind of pain too. I can only imagine.

I have kidney stones. In fact I passed one about a week and a half after my bypass. I get pain in my lower back very bad. Then it subsides until it move again and then I get it in my ureter area. I also get that cramping feeling in my crotch that you get when you have a urinary tract infection. You may see blood in your urine, but sometimes you don't. If you have one, you would know it cuz the pain is terrible when it is moving.

Hi, yes it went away!! I think I'm so out of shape from after the surgery that I may have just used more muscles in my stomach and thought it was !! I'm so happy its not stones. I would be so screwed ! Thank you so much for your support !

I know right? I think my anxiety is so high after this surgery! Life is sure a different way now! food was always the center of everything.

As a professional Kidney Stone rep, I can tell you I get them about every three months. I actually had one last week while I was on vacation. Each and every kidney stone is different in the way it presents itself. Some are non eventful and pass, others notsomuch, and I end up in the ER, or having lithotripsy. Depending on the location of the stone, that is where you are going to feel pain. My first indication is nausea. Unfortunately, even though I had a kidney stone pass last week, I have been nauseous for three day's now so I probably have another one in the works. You can also get a feeling like you have a bladder infection. I then start feeling pain, and this can me in my lower back, and even my abdomen. I have had them for the last few years, and just had my first post surgery. I was told by my Dr. to be extra diligent with the Water. Hope this helps!

Ouch !! Yes, I heard they are very painful and I don't wish that on anyone. I think my pain was from my muscles in my stomach. I got so out of shape that now I use those muscles more.

Very good explanation. Thankfully I haven't had a bad stone in a while.

The high Protein diet and kidney stones was one thing that kept me on the fence for a while before deciding to go forward with my surgery. I'm praying I'm consuming enough Water to keep my kidney's happy.
