Ouch! - he's in pain, I'm staying out of his way today. He was in the hospital last night, but they said he has to pass it....

Ugh!!! Stay out of that man's way. Leave the bathroom empty for him, too. I'd hate to be the guy on the crapper, when he comes running in screaming.

Tell him to take more of his pain killers/muscle relaxants, he needs to relax his ureters to pass the stone & if he's in that much pain, they have to be in spasm (not good).

I passed one right after coming back from the Persian Gulf.

It was one of the most painful experience that I have gone through.

Yikes.

It's a stone in your kidneys.
wtf

And then you have to pee it out! I've never had one... but I've known people who have. They say it hurts worse than being shot.

It's pretty rotten, women that have had them equate the pain to childbirth. There is nothing in the world like having the little tiny connections from your kidney to your bladder torn by a stone three to four times their diamter. I passed a 3mm one recently and I wanted to die till I got the morphine.

I wouldn't be at work that's for sure.

What causes someone to have a kidney stone?
