The Wose Pain EVER: passing kidney stones

i woke up this morning with EXCRUCIATING pain. I didn't know wtf it was, it was in my back, and i thought i pulled a back muscle or something. I mean i could barely stand up. So i'm like begging my mother to call 911. Then the ambulance gets here.

I get to the hospital and they put me on an IV and ran some pain medicine through it, where i wake up a couple hours later with no pain.

I cannot think of ANYTHING worse than this kind of pain. I thought god was punishing me or something seriously, i really tried to take it like like a man lol, but this kind of pain i swear will break any man down.

Doctor prescribed me with lortab. This is the first time i've ever been prescribed a narcotic. But i have experience with using lortab recreationally.

I think i just need to drink more water, cause i usually drink a lot of sweet tea and i think thats what caused it.

Am i stuck with kidney stones for the rest of my life or am i just prone to it? Or is it like just cause of the sweet tea and sodas and stuff.

I wouldn't wish this kind of pain on my worst enemy :|

 

they can be a persistent problem throughout your life..

 

my mom had one when she was pregnant with my brother.

i think she said passing that hurt more than labor, but then again she was in labor only for a short time until she got a c-section

she hasn't had one since. so i think you'll be fine?

 

i've never had one, but i have had friends who had. its WAY worse for guys, because it has to pass through a longer urethra. the one time you REALLY would like a shorter penis. most stones are made of calcium, so watc your intake of high calcium foods.
and drink way more water than you should ever need.

"The kidney acts as a filter for blood, removing waste products from the body and helping regulate the levels of chemicals important for body function. The urine drains from the kidney into the bladder through a narrow tube called the ureter. When the bladder fills and there is an urge to urinate, the bladder empties through the urethra, a much wider tube than the ureter.
In some people, the urine chemicals crystallize and form the beginning, or a nidus, of a kidney stone. These stones are very tiny when they form, smaller than a grain of sand, but gradually they can grow to a quarter inch or larger. The size of the stone doesn't matter as much as where it is located.
When the stone sits in the kidney, it rarely causes problems, but should it fall into the ureter, it acts like a dam. The kidney continues to function and make urine, which backs up behind the stone, stretching the kidney. This pressure build up causes the pain of a kidney stone, but it also helps push the stone along the course of the ureter. When the stone enters the bladder, the obstruction in the ureter is relieved and the symptoms of a kidney stone are resolved. "

*runs and gulps down a glass of water*

 

Yeah ive always feared kidney stones, 'tis why i drink so much water.

 

shit man i got those once like two years ago. they hurt so fuckin much I could barely move.

 

Reminds me of when my lung collapsed. No matter how you try to pull yourself together, pain that severe will break you down.
Didnt cry though lol! But I was as close to it as I've ever been.

 

LOL, sorry to laugh.......i had kidney stones a couple years back and wow......that shit does hurt! Mine started kind of like yours.......felt a pain in my lower left back and just thought it was normal back pain. Went on like that for two days then all of a sudden BAM, intense pain.........like you described.......can barely move type of pain. Drove myself to the hospital.....that ride sucked.....every fuckin bump in the road i hit felt like someone was shoving an ice pick into my back!! Got in and got some morphine in me via IV and all was well then. Don't remember what i was prescribed, i hate taking pills. Just wait till ya pass the little bugger/buggers.........you can feel it SCRAPE it's way from your ball region all the way till the tip of your dick, that fuckin hurts too. But once it's out it's glorious!!!

 

Ouch, that doesn't sound pleasant.

The worst pain I've ever experienced, I use to get these "episodes" I guess where it would literally feel like I had acid and razor blades in my stomach/ organs and I could feel all my muscles knotting up and crunching. And the worst one I ever had, I passed out in my parents bathroom and fell head first into the edge of the tub, woke up covered in my own blood and vomit and my stomach hurt SOOOO bad I just started screaming "KILL ME!!! KILLLL ME" and at that point, my mom came in, thought I was overdosing, called 911, got rushed the hospital yada yada yada, all that good stuff. But thankfully *knocks on wood* I havent had such pains in years.

 

Hmn worse pain so far??? id say a really on the edge arm bar i experienced a while ago, we were taking turns dishing out and receiving... i got abit hurt.

But something medical... Erm... id say appendicitis, i woke up in the middle of the night with sharp pulsing pains, almost like a fist steadily punching my side organs internally... went to the hostpital in the morning (thought pain would go away, it didnt) they operated like a few hours later

 

my worst pain was.... really gross.
i don't want to talk about it.

 

ouch.. i can't even imagine how bad kidney stones would hurt. thank god i drink a lot of water!
my worst pain was when i broke my rib...

 

Ouch... I havent broken any bones yet...

 

ouch is right! and you're lucky! the only bones i ever broke was my rib and my nose, and i don't know if my nose hurt cause i was only 2 haha.
my rib hurt pretty bad though, i could barely get out of bed or walk.. and i couldn't laugh either because it hurt too much when i did haha

 

I passed a kidney stone when I was like 9.

It was fucking horrid!

 

Well when i was younger, in school i was chasing someone, and it had just rained, i ran into this picnic area with wooden plank flooring and benches... i basically slipped full speed on that and ended up bashing the side of my ribs under my left arm right into the corner of the bench...
I was really badly winded, could only breathe in very very short breaths, but 5min later was fine... no chipped ribs or anything. Had a gigantic bruise for a while though.



Also how the hell did you break your nose???
I dont know, I sparr with boxing gloves/mma gloves and sometimes let through some blows that get my nose...
It hurt like fuck the first few times and straigth away i would let down my guard and check that my nose was ok. Now im getting used to it, pain threshold increases as you get used to hits... But still, im very scared of ever breaking my nose, its like my only facial feature that i love... that sounded kinda odd xD

 

I wonder what i was given through that IV though. Because i didn't hear them say morphine or oxycodone or anything, i think it may have started with a C? i forgot but wish i knew what it was so i can look into it.

But it was a cold sensation where the IV was, i don't know if it sedated me, i don't think it did. But all i could do is wait for the medicine to kick in and lay as still as possible while shaking.

 

I'd take kidney stone ANY day over testicular torsion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testicular_torsion
I had to drive my friend to the hospital when he had it. I had to fold the back seat down so he could lie on his belly. Balling like a baby the whole time and shrieking every time I took a corner. They saved his nut though.

 

ouuuch! i cringed when i read about you slamming your ribs off the corner of a bench. that had to of hurt so bad.

when i was 2, i was a big adventurer and loved crawling around everywhere and getting into shit.. so the one day i climbed up a whole flight of stairs in my house (which i wasn't allowed to do) and fell the whole way down them and ended up breaking my nose haha. it healed by itself and stuff, it wasn't that bad. but now i get random nosebleeds and if my nose does get bumped its real sensitive and hurts a bit more than it should.
