• Kidney Stone from hell - by Chris - (Fri, Feb 26 2010)
  I woke up on 2/21/2010, went to the rest room, came to sit down at the computer and all of a sudden A pain from hell hit me so hard. I thought stomach virus or constipation. The big wimp I am about DR. and hospitals, that was out of the question. The pain started about 1:00 pm. I figured I’ll wait it out and it’ll pass. Whoa was I wrong. [more..]
• Kidney Stone with Stent - by Jamie - (Fri, Feb 26 2010)
  After I fractured my ankle in 3 places and was slowly recovering I suddenly got hit with the oddest pain, it slowly got worse and worse until I was rushed to the ER. 3 trips later the Drs realized it was much bigger than a passable stone. I was fitted with a stent and had lipotripsy. The stone has now broken into 4 pieces but two are still to big to pass. [more..]

  I have hard life with kidney stone. I was hoping to look at someone’s story with a positive ending. I haven’t yet. I have passed over 80 stones. First started at 17. I am now 24. When I was 17 I have my first surgery. I would pass about 7 or 8 stones a year. Then while I was pregant with my first child I passed 9. Then I had another lithotripsy. [more..]

• First time with a Kidney Stone - by cdocker - (Thu, Feb 11 2010)
  I’m a 45yr old woman with my first stone. At first I thought it was a UTI but after being on antibiotics for 4-5 days, the symptoms got worse. I was sent for a CT scan and was told I had a 4mmx2mm stone. I have been on pain killers and antibiotics now for almost 3 weeks and the pain has gradually moved lower. [more..]
