How I describe kidney stone pain: Imagine getting hit in the stomach with a bat. Or falling down and getting the wind knocked out of you. Pain throughout your entire abdomen. Now imagine that pain as constant and continuous for maybe an hour or two until you get some morphine. That's what my kidney stone felt like.

Mine was entirely on my right side. It was great when the doctor was pushing against my kidney during the tests. "Does that hurt?" "Of-fscking-course it hurts!!!"

Damn this thread sucks. I never had a stone and hopefully never will... but if i should get one, well, let's hot not.


Also stop blamming stones on green tea. Just cause the guy drinks a lot of tea doesnt mean that's how he got the stones.

Mine was all on one side as well, but the last one I passed, the pain radiated down into my groin. It felt like someone had kicked me in the junk....for about an hour...:thumbsdown:

Are you serious? Is it even worse as it passes?

I was given the strainer. I hope my co-workers don't find me dead in the bathroom with my pants down to my ankles holding a strainer in my hands.

I'm 35 btw. No family history of problems. The doctor said its most common in the 20-40s. He sees a ton of them each week.

See the tips and how they are worn/broken off?

Let's just say that your internal organs are a rock tumbler for kidney stones ;)

OMG! I thought it was just a piece of sand. That thing looks like a mine or some alien torture device.

It could look like this too

Depends on what kind it is. That's why they gave you a strainer, so they can do tests on it.

Mine look a lot like that pic (I've had lots and lots of them over the past 20 years). Think of a cerated rock slowly slicing it's way though various pieces of "important plumbing" until it get's all the way out. My last one made it almost all they way out and then became.. ummm.... stuck someplace very inconvenient. :eek: I had to pull it out with some tweezers.

That's exactly it. Its not like a sharp knife wound or anything but more of a blunt hard pain.

I'm still alive btw. I haven't had any recurrance of pain but my mouth is starting to get try and I'm starting to feel sore on my lower back. I've been on percocet all day and it was weird trying to work while somewhat stoned.
