Thread: I'm going to be a dad again! -kidney stones

Seem to get them every couple of months, lately.



Starts with an ache in the back, then peeing blood, then the labour pains and heavy breathing.



Next comes the ripping as they slice their way down, followed by more bleeding.





Fun times.

Hmmm, seems plenty of men have had them, it must be all the minerals that add into beer.
A lot of woman drink wine, maybe that's it.
Cheers ,
Mario

i had one stone jammed in a valve and another larger one behind it, both removed via the old fella after slicing the valve

peaing blood all night and the pain was pretty dam intense

was in there another day from memory before i was allowed to hobble out.

going back to get the stent out a fortnight later took a little courage i can tell you... thankfully i was knocked out again and released the next day.

don't ever ever ever want that one again!

Sounds like the procedure is worst than the stones.

Not really Mario. Went through the same process as Inc a couple of years ago and yes it's very painful, invasive and certainly knocks you about but the agony of the stones is far worse.

The pain from my stones resulted in a BP of 210 over something which was of more concern to the cas nurses than the stones. A bit of 'morphine magic' soon sorted that out. It was the most painful experience of my life. Seems that pain causes an increase in BP which is how the nurses can pick a junkie looking for a free hit from the real thing. You live and learn.

Just before surgery my BP was >200. On groaning while taking my BP the nursed asked 'is there something wrong with you' and offered me a Panadol for the pain.

Can only see the funny side of it now.

I have some paralysis on my left side from injury , so maybe that's why they aren't really hurting me yet due to lack of feeling,
Doc asked me if I wanted a referral to a urologist. He said maybe they can blast them. I asked if it was a "done on visit procedure and he said no, they knock you out. He described the blasting like being hit with a sledge hammer on the kidney , that's why they knock you out.
Any one had this procedure done, and how long did it take and what was the process.

No never had that done. But today I passed my very first kidney stone. Had lots of pain in my lower left side back & front. Was peeing all day yesdy like a demon & felt like I had a blockage. Then today it passed. It's a bit bigger then 2 grains of rice I guess. Got more of a shock then anything else as I just thought it was muscular pain. I dug it outa the bowl not sure what it was. Keeping that sucker it's huge. 😀😀😀

Ah the glorious feeling as the Pethadine kicks in.

My wife and I agree that we can see what addicts see in heroin.
