55 gallon drum of morphine

Raven, been there my friend. Work through the pain. Drink lots of water - if you can walk around try to rather than stay cooped up in the house.

Save the stone when it passes so the doc can figure out what it is. More likely than not it will be calcium oxalate. Adjustments to your diet can prevent future recurrences (unfortunately if you get one youre likely to get more down the road).

this is actually my second stone.....experience....
the first one was in the springtime....
and you spend the whole night taking a hot showers...
and i had no clue what the intense pain was from...
thinking it was perhaps just plumbing problems...

and yeah thats what the narcotics you take do to ya...
they lock up the back door... bigtime
so for breakfast i had just some mirabela papaya....
i have to eat all easy to digest stuff..
that won't produce any gas...

sent the wife to the pharmacy last night
for a better back door key (docusate sodium)

and that makes a world of difference....

i almost went back to the hospital again last night because i was
back into the intense agony again ....pacing ,groaning, moaning
and there is absolutely no escape......

you "feel like your gonna die"...and you almost want to
....to end the torment and misery.....
it's that bad....
everyone saying: "for a man it's like having a baby"...
and the meds just- wouldn't- kick -in

today i feel pretty good....but i'm real weak from the trauma
...so i'll get some much needed
fresh air ,sunshine and do some mowing out back which
is starting to get ahead of me...

this has been a life changing experience for me
to say the least......
and my diet will be forever changed....
my belly is now half the size it was...
so i figure i've been ill for almost 5 months.

Raven,

I can't forget the first time. I doubled over suddenly in pain and thought somebody had stabbed me in the back.

The pain was so bad that I ended up throwing up on the car ride to the ER.

I came in grasping my side. Nurse said, so you look like you have a kidney stone.

[Raven]

i'll be seeing my primary Doc in the morning

and she had better know her meds...or she's fired.

but now, i am fully at war with my body....and i am ripshiit.

this is my own 9-11 plane crash into my kidney's and i'll be
a kidney stone expert before i'm finished.
or at least how to radically change all my dietary habbits so
that i'll never have to experience this again...

i have never before been so devastated by an experience as this
and i am at war...with alkalinity and digestion, the whole nine yards.

Oh man Rav, feel betta soon.

Raven, ask you doc for a script of Tramadol 25 mg.

These little pills are the best thing since sliced bread, they don't make you grogy or feel stupid at all, and to add to the benefits it won't bind you up at all.

Take with or without food every 4-6 hours or as needed.

My last episode with stones was one at 5 centimeters and two about 3 centimeters big at the same time, I passed the two smaller ones in 3 days but they had to go in and get the 5 centimeter stone, wasn't pretty at all. Pretty embarassing when the nurse comes in to remove the shunt, grabs hold of your little friend and says this won't hurt, lean back and take a deep breath ... OW!

Everyone used to tell me to drink cranberry juice to help pass them but my doc who is one of the best from Boston said " DO NOT " drink cranberry juice, it is one of the leading causes of stones and can and will make a stone grow bigger if you have one, and if you don't have one then they tend to promote the growth of one.

Soda is also on the list but is okay in moderation, but any kind of berry juice will promote them.

I have Robert Lang as my urologist and he practiced in Boston for 10 years before moving down my way for the last 15, he's also one of my customers so I keep his cell number on speed dial for when my ususal events arise and I'm in need.

Did they tell you where the stone was caught? The kidney is harder to pass a stone from because it has to go up before it can come down and the tube hurts just as much but a 3 centimeter stone should pass within a couple of days unless its one of those "stag-horned" stones, they look like deer antlers growing out of a rock.

Good luck and drink plenty of fluids.

this one had like moose antlers and then there was a little grey one with a bushy tail,,, they said

no really...a great suggestion on the tramadol so i got the prescription today...cuz i told her: hey i had to drive here on a
perc and that aint cool at all... and she says...i didnt just hear that.. plus i need to be running the chainsaw...besides..

stones caught in the kidney just below a little hump of fibers in front of the door out.... so i reckon i should just stand on my head.
