I just had a minor - yet incredibly painful - attack.
Had beer, wine, meds and beer again... and barely made it through an attack.
I was lucky. Incredibly lucky.
Usually, it's so bad, even geting hospitalized cannot ease your pain.
So to all of you.
Drink all the fluids you can... even the ones that contain no alcohol (lol )... and do the ultrasonographic scans of your kidneys as often as possible...
Please leave this thread open for at least one day.
99% will mock it, but it might be important for someone.
Thank you.
PS: It hurts worse than Doomsday entering your anus, trust me on that. This is why I've made this thread.
Damn Stilt, while reading this over again, I just have to say that I'm sorry to hear about the pain that you went through, even though it's likely that you'll go through it again, because you have to STOP DRINKING SODA.

Seriously. You know how they used to shake some bones in their hand and cast them.
The movie Cain Mutiny was based on it.
It's an old superstition with merit.
And what do you mean, usually it hurts worse? You've experienced this before?

You know, we're not all made out of the ionic energy, my friend.
So, I kinda have to.
Need to repeat the ultrasound scans asap.
I doubt they'll tell me anything I don't know already, but there is always a chance that a bigger stone has formed and I need to know if it has.
Yes, plenty of times.
Even if you pass the kidney stones successfully, they will eventually reform.
I was lucky that I'd ordered a carafe of wine before the pain started. Drank it in moments and proceeded to the drugstore (which was really close, got lucky again) - antispasmodics are essential in this case. The sooner you take them, the better.
When they hit my father, that wasn't much of an option, unfortunately, being at a theme park way out in the sticks.
And he's got it made compared to an uncle, who I swear gets them once a week.
So think about how great it is not being that guy, if it helps.
