is there anything more frightening? what do I need to do to make sure I never get these?

Very scary. Don't drink soda. Also, drink as much water as clams.

I think its just bad luck, nothing you can do one way or the other. Keep those fingers crossed.

I haven't drank a soda for, like, 10 years so that's a relief. also drink tons of water.

The gems like this make 'clams my favorite poster, despite his opinions on the basketball board.

Doctor told us that a kidney stone that is smaller than a grain of salt can cause immense pain.

The only 2 people I've ever known to get them got them right after coming back from iraq. So that may have something to do with it

Staghorn calculus, basically a giant antler looking kidney stone.

I know a guy who has some condition. He has had like 280 kidney stones in his 40-ish years.

Protip: never look at a picture of what a kidney stone looks like under a microscope. Note: I fully.expect (and encourage) most of you to google that immediately.

When I got out of school I got a job and due to the social constructs of the company I was influenced to eat out at unhealthy places almost every day. Would drink a lot of Coke, and then would drink a lot of beer. Also a lot of red meat. So I got kidney stones, had a bout morning after a wedding in Kiowa, KS. Luckily they had an ER. I've never begged someone to stick a needle in me like that before (hate needles). Anyway, I've drastically reduced my consumption of soft drinks. Also reduced the red meat consumption. Beer drinking is also reduced but I focused less on that. Haven't had another bout yet. Praying I never will.

I got one while driving back from a football game in 2009 and had to pull over just outside of Manhattan cuz I thought I was gonna throw up from the pain. Hurt like crazy on and off for a week until I passed it and mine was a pretty small one.
-
I've had 3. Went to the ER for one. Thought I was going to die. Now, on advice of internet doctor sites, I ad lemon juice concentrate to the water I drink. Supposed to help.

I think the acidy stuff in the lemon juice breaks them down before they start or whatever.

Problem: Lemons are so gross.

I've had 20ish. They are no fun. I've also made stones in my saliva gland since I was 6, until I had the gland removed.

You left out the best part where as you were rolling around in the ditch next to K-18 your brother was using his hands to make a drinking movement and pointing at you as cars were driving by.

It's a hereditary thing for us. Teddy_Westside got his first about the same age I did. Our dad has 20-30 like me.

You guys should selectively breed to enhance this trait. Your grand children may be able to cast walls of stone from their peens. You are the next phase in human evolution. I'm sure you already thought of that though.

See...my mom has had them many times, my older sister a few times, and one of my younger sisters once. However, my dad, my self, and my 2 brothers have never had one. Hoping I didn't get that gene.

My sister and other brother have never had one either.

i really have to question the genetic make up of a good portion of the posters on this board. so many of you guys just have really bad genes.
i can't imagine how hard life must be for you.

Not sure where to put this. Either here or the Beer Connoisseur thread. Anyway...
Kidney Stones
Kidney stones are caused by a buildup of calcium in the body. Hop supplements can help reduce your body’s level of calcium and prevent the formation of these painful stones.

Had them in 7th grade. Worst pain ever. And I'm tough as crap :gocho:
I pissed it out in the hospital and it was the greatest relief since sliced bread. Never had them since.
-
top four random medical things i never want.
1.Rectal tumor
2.Staph
3.Kidney Stones
4.Catheter
-
I'd take a rectal tumor or staph over stones. Both seem pud in comparison.
-
I'll never have any of those things
-
I don't know, but I have some weird bout of heartburn or something at the moment.

Have you ever walked around the back of a truck and hit the trailer hitch with your shin? Take this, x10, inside your lower abdominal for however long it takes to get to the hospital. That's the best way I have of describing the pain.
When I was 4 my dad got his first one. It's one of my first memories. I remember taking him to the hospital. He honestly thought one of his organs failed/ruptured and might be dying.

When I had mine we thought it might have been an appendicitis or kidney stone. My mom told me after she was hoping for appendicitis so it would be a one time thing and be over.
-
One time I had a helluva stomach ache iirc it was gas, sounds exactly like your kidney stone story. sounds like we are kidney bean bros

Tell us more about this story. You took your dad to the hospital at the age of 4? Incredible.

My bro had one in his 20's. He has extremely high tolerance for pain. He said it was the worst pain ever.

ts and ps ging :frown:

Does the pain radiate around your flank to your lower back? Does it shoot down your leg? Is there pain during urination? Blood in urine?
I just passed one 3 days ago (my 4th). Pain was just average this time but it took like a month to pass it.

Hope bubbles4ksu is ok.

yep, don't have one of these. or if i did it was a very small one and i passed it, no doubt with help from the ts and ps i received. the pain was only in my bladder and was completely gone with 2 hours of my post.
-
Glad to hear that bub.
-
i wonder if you have gang green of the bladder?

_33 might be the toughest mother effer I've ever known but not met.

Never knew the 'stones but have had several bouts with the gout that ended up in the ER...
That is some painful crap there...
FIL has had both and says gout is worse FWIW...

I have another one, my first since 2012. Apparently it's a 6mm beast. They are going to blast it with a laser next week. So basically Star Wars inside my bladder and kidney. Fun stuff.
Also I drink a ton of water, and don't drink soda as instructed in 2012 so yeah there's nothing you can do apparently.

Depending on the type of stone, there are treatments to decrease your risk of growing more of these. You should talk to your doctor about it.
Also, hope you have a good recovery and are feeling better, ASAP.

Good to know but not at all comforting. I was judging the crap out of you until I read this, now I'm scared of the stones.

My mom has had several stones so I think it's in my DNA. I think family history is a pretty big factor.

I knew a dude that would get them in college and he def had family history
