I've had a couple before this one of which I thought was big but this is at least 2.5x the size of that one. It knocked me on my ass when it was moving but surprisingly actually passing it wasn't as bad as you'd think.
Iāve never had a kidney stone. I need to know everything youāve ever done in your life so I donāt do those things so I donāt get a kidney stone.
You can start at ages 0-5 and weāll go from there
It hurts like hell until 1) you get the GOOD drugs or 2) it gets into the bladder. I have to assume that yours above hurt past the bladder, too (unless you had good drugs).
Same, and I imagine this is the typical experience.
But after that pain of the first leg of its journey, I was absolutely terrified of what it would feel like peeing it out. Every time I went to the bathroom I was biting down on a wooden spoon handle, waiting for the worst. But when the moment came, it was practically nothing -- just a little "umph" of discomfort, a split second of blockage, and that was it.
Uhhh, wow. Just wow. I can't even fathom that. I was in absolutely no state of mind to be orgasming -- every millisecond felt like I was going to piss my pants and the last thing on my mind was sex.
And I have to assume you weren't raw dogging it with someone at the time? I can't imagine shooting my kidney stone up inside my wife.
I read something that said jerking off can help pass the stone and i was like "fuck it, i want this shit out of me" lo and behold i shot out a penis pearltm
Can confirm. The moving into the bladder was the worst pain I ever experienced. Wife told me I went ghost white, flop sweat, and I felt the thing move across my abdomen from right to left like an alien was crawling around inside of me. Once it hit the bladder I felt nothing. The stone itself didnāt come out for another 2.5 years I think, but when it did it wasnāt as bad as the bladder entry. When I came out it was about the size of an espresso beanā¦same color too. Tested it and was 100% calcium.
I was hospitalized twice, ive learned morphine makes me very angy if they dont give me enough to pass out š¤£ but thankfully i also get norco pills for afterwards.. first time they gave me percs and norco, took one perc and was zoiked out. Never used the rest because i hated how they made me feel
I am allergic to Demerol (I break out in hives, learned that with my first kidney stone) but it helped with the pain. Morphine did absolutely nothing for my pain the second stone, but it did make me nauseous, so yay!
Holy shit mine was maybe 1/5 the size of that and I thought it was killing me. It was literally as painful as unmedicated childbirth. At least I got a baby after that.
No special technique I just peed and it ploped out. I feel fine had a few tough days while it was moving out of the kidney but smooth sailing outside of that
in my country, stones found to be over 5mm are regarded as too big to pass naturally and therefore have some sort of procedure done. What was the justification for allowing you to pass this monster on your own?
Probably American. I have Medullary Sponge Kidney so my kidneys are the perfect shape to constantly form stones no matter what I do but I donāt have insurance because my employer doesnāt subsidize the cost so itās $600/mo. I passed a 7mm one earlier this year. My doctors also wonāt stop calling and mailing letters to come in because Iām supposed to go every 6 months but I canāt afford to until I find a new job but the job market is horrendous right now. š
You are correct. I worked at Starbucks for seven years with a preexisting condition and my premiums were the same as everyone elseās. That said, working there was miserable and I was only there for the insurance but I couldnāt take it anymore so now I work for myself and pay out of my ass for insurance from the marketplace.
Uhm, I think you mean Freedom??!!?? All you losers who donāt have freedom in your non-USA countries will never experience the patriotic euphoria of having to go to work so you can have healthcare while not being paid enough to afford healthcare while dying of whatever preventable disease you canāt afford to treat.Ā
I'm sorry, you PASSED THIS??? Fucking God I feel legit nauseated imagining that. Fucking fuck, I didn't even know that was possible.
Did you go to the hospital first?? Was there no attempt to try to break it down first, or talks of surgical removal?? Or was this like one of those "I didn't know I was pregnant" deals and you just excruciatingly birthed this thing in a bathroom at 2AM not even knowing it was growing in you??
I am PERPLEXED. And genuinely HORRIFIED. This is far more than mildly interesting if you truly pushed this monster out your fucking urethra. Fucking God, bro/sis.
I didn't go to the ER because I knew it was a kidney stone and knew what they'd likely do for me. I didn't suspect it was anywhere near this large so I figured I'd just take some pain killers and ride it out. I ended up passing it around lunchtime at work yesterday. I bagged it up and continued with my day.
AT WORK? YOU WENT TO WORK WHILE THIS WAS TRAVELING THROUGH YOUR URETHRA? Jesus Christ. I am in enough pain just reading this I'm contemplating calling out. I really hope you do important things for humanity in your job and that you are excellently compensated.
I support a lot of important industries through my work. I also I'm currently the only person in my particularly department at work so I feel obligated to come in unless I absolutely cannot.
There wasn't any blood or anything during the passage or since. I'll definitely mention it at my next regular visit but most of my time, energy, and money recently has gone to caring for my sick Bunny
Oh no! Iām sorry your bunny is sick! I hope they are doing okay. I love rabbits. I had one for almost 13 years. I know their medical issues can get very complicated and very expensive! Mine had to be sedated for dental surgery.
He's having some trouble with his ear. He had surgery last week to open the abscess for drainage. One of the bacteria found in the colture is hard to treat with antibiotics. He may need to have the ear amputated but we're hoping it doesn't come to that.
I'd have taken that rock and packed up for the day if it came out of me at work. But I applaud you, sir. You magnificent, ceramic-tough, resilient bastard.
No. I've had both. I've had kidney stones so big they had to go in and get them. It was a horrible pain. But I've also been on petocin for 16 hours straight in labor. I'd say they're both a terrible, all consuming pain.Ā
One is not "worse" than the other imo. I will say, the worst pain I've ever felt was when the anesthesia failed during an emergency C-section and I felt the scapel cut through all the layers to get to my uterus. Words can't describe that type of pain.
Iāve given birth three times and the second time, my epidural ran out. The midwife was like. āNo time! Baby is coming.ā
It was painful but nothing was as painful as my gallbladder attack. I was in so much pain I couldnāt speak and the paramedics acted like I was overreacting. Apparently, I was making up my pain because I was jealous of the attention my newborn baby was getting.
Was left for 7 hours in the hallway to āteach me a lesson.ā They said all this out loud and in front of me.
Doctor took one look at me and was like, āsurgery. Now.ā My husband was almost a single dad thanks to those assholes leaving me to go septic.
Worst pain ever. Iād rather give birth over and over again all day than do one second of that pain.
Sounds like the hospital in my town! We now go out of town for hospital visitsā¦.
My MIL recently went 3 days post op. after having surgery (elsewhere), and she kept losing consciousness where she would stop breathing. The nurses kept asking us āwhy does she keep doing that? Tell her to stop.āLike lady, WE ARE HERE BECAUSE SHE KEEPS LOSING CONSCIOUSNESS! Weāre not the medical professionals, YOU are. Her blood sugar levels were also near coma high, for 3 days, and severely dehydrated. They made her wait in the waiting room, in a chair, for over 12 hours before she left. I took her to another hospital where she got a bed within 2 minutes of registering, they started tests within 20 minutes of us being there, and she got admitted 5 hours after us being there.
The hospital in my town is seriously horrendous. Every time we go, itās 12+ hours wait. Iāve even gone for potential lithium OD, and I still had to wait in the waiting room chairs for 14 hours before the DR saw me. Itās crazy. Be thankful we live in Canada and itās free doesnāt help me when Iām potentially dying. No wonder the Woman died of Sepsis in Mississauga after giving birth. They donāt take womanās pain seriously. Iāve been in terrible pain that was worse than giving birth to my child, but then I get the eye roll because Iām over reacting. Meanwhile, the 13+ kidney stones they found, plus the kidney infection the Dr was terrified by because sheād never seen levels that high, and the severe dehydration I was going through from food poisoning all played a part in the āover reactedā pain I was in.
I wouldn't doubt it lol. I've given birth to two kids.... If someone asked me if I wanted to do that again or push a fucking quarter sized kidney stone through my fuckin urethra, I'd take the former every time.
I've passed a kidney stone, and it was the size of a grain of sand, and that shit hurt like hell. (Not worse than birth, but absolutely miserable for sure) I literally cannot fathom one this size passed naturally. I might actually just die lol.
I had 2, first year on the left, second one a year ltr on the right...
Both times i ended up in the emergency room, and instant relief after meds kicked in was like a touch of heaven.
I remember i was done babysitting and one of the "attacks" started when i walked to my car, i litterly crawled back in the house layed on the foor asking for a glass of water while i took out my pain medicine i carried with me in my pocket (i was prepared luckely.. fear of that pain does that). It took some time for the meds kicked in, and the kids where a bit confused about what was happening but their lovely attention was really nice...
It hurts like hell... Till a certain point, then the contractions wont come anymore. Bfore it enters the way out i felt really uncomfortble, but the actual going out, true the last channel, wasnt that noticeble..
That IS massive. I worked in a hospital and heard a guy pass one. I was about 200 feet down the hallway, and we all heard this horrible scream. I ran to the room and found him smiling with complete relief. The stone was jagged, black, and a little smaller than a pea. Good on you!
The screen reader got it incorrect, i'd describe it as: The kidney stone is compared to a coin laying next to it. 25 cent coin to be precise as it says "quarter dollar". The kidney stone is about half the diameter of the coin in height, and 1/3th the width. It is a bit rectangular in shape and rough in texture.
How does one pass a kidney stone? Do you like pee and it comes out? Or is it independent of pee and works its way down? Does it take multiple attempts?
You pee it out. You drink a ton of water and take medication prescribed to help pass it and break it down.
Once it passes the kidneys youāll start peeing blood. Best thing to do is drink as much water and in my case drank a shit ton of lemon juice (acid helps break it down) so that itās not this big when you piss it out.
I was lucky in the case I drank enough I was peeing blood and brown (particles of the stone) for a few days.
Black specs too (blood clot) then on final day I had a few blood clots shoot out alongside some tiny pieces of stone that broke up in toilet bowl. The clots felt weird coming out.
Doc said that was normal and Iāll pee blood a time or two more but Iād be fine afterwards.
They were right.
Now, I make sure I drink a ton of water and lemonade regularly.
Pain so intense and itās sharp and dull at the same time. Itās blinding. My last one the ER gave me fentanyl for the pain and I would say it took the pain away about 90-95%. The pain is so bad it still breaks through fent a little lol.
They could have if I had gone to the ER to have it checked. I figured it was a normal sized stone and I'd save my self the $1600 and 6 hours in the waiting room to ride it out in the comfort of my home.
Shut up!!! I just passed one Sunday night. I wish i had a strainer to catch it. I had to pass it in the hospital lobby. I had flo max and meds at home so i left once it moved to my bladder. They refused to help in any way.
Watch out for your vitamin D levels if you're supplementing. High doses can cause hypercalcemia, which significantly increases the risk of kidney stones š„ŗ
This was mine. It had the decency to roll out of the way of the ureter opening during my ER visit, then pass without further trouble immediately after my appointment with the urologist like a week later.
