I've had kidney stones 12 times now.

3-4 times I've ended up in the hospital due to pain... all the other times I didn't know I had one until it passed.

But I feel for ya.
 
On the pain scale only one thing is higher. Giving birth. I had a friend that had trouble with them and it was difficult watching him deal with the pain every now and then.
 
Have fun! It was really bizare sensation when I had mine. It really is like the male version of labor. The pain just came in waves...but mine wasn't a sharp pain. It was some dull radiating pain all across my lower back and throughout my gut. It was like somebody was taking a huge sledge hammer and hitting me on my side.

Lasted for about 8 hours and resulted in a lot puking because of abdominal pain.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluster_headache

"Women with cluster headache will tell you that an attack is worse than giving birth. So you can imagine that these people give birth without anesthetic once or twice a day, for six, eight, or ten weeks at a time"

When I had a collapsed lung I had them insert the chest tube between my ribs with no pain killer. The nurses had to hold my feet down, and I completely browned out in one eye.

I would say after that it has completely re-adjusted my pain perception. That has to be worse than a kidney stone...I hope.
 
Hope you enjoy drinking Lemonade.

Cause one the best things you can do to prevent them is increase your intake of citrate which will bind up Ca++ in your urine so it doesn't meet your worst enemy oxalate. Citric Acid will be your hero.

*unless of course you don't have Calcium Oxalate stones.
 
I used to get cluster headakes. The pain was UNBELIEVABLE.

However, if you compared it to whamming a finger really hard with a hammer, no comparisons, the hammer whack hurt more. Fortunately, the pain goes away if you put the hammer away, not the case for the cluster headaches.
 
Yeh I've had broken bones, sprains, needles jammed into open wounds for numbing prior to stitches, ect that all had instantaneous moments of pain. But it can't really compare to the wave of all over misery that the stone caused. I've never got sick from pain or excessive workouts before but that thing put a hurt on me.
 
Man I feel for you.. that is BS amounts of pain. I still remember the one I had.. I had no idea what was going on with me until they did a CTscan and showed it to me.
