Think I may be passing my 8th kidney stone.

Oh yeah, and to pass my last one that kept getting stuck... and refused to come out...

I basically grabbed a huge mug, and drank a 6 pack in a couple of minutes... Held off pissing until I was about to explode. Pinched the end of it, and let the pressure build full bore then shotgunned that muther effer out...

Give that a shot.

Well, maybe not so little. Before breaking up it was 1 cm across and half a cm wide.
Will turn in to hospital but already know its Calcium Oxide.

Little tip, drink more orange juice and lemonade. Less grapefruit juice and cranberry.
Lose the soda, its bad shit all around.
You guys REALLY dont want these fuckers.

Worst. Idea. Ever.
 
I never used energy drinks, I dont over indulge in milk or dairy products, and I gave up soda after the last one (which is more addicting than heroin by the way).

Gonna see a real urologist this week. The VA doctors are not good enough I'm sorry to say.

Not really, it was stuck sideways in my the base of my penis. I guess I should have elaborated where it was stuck.

Except that you can cause significant urethral tearing and scarring. The scarring and inflammation will reduce the diameter of the urethra for life. Considering many men get trouble urinating later in life due to prostate enlargement, there's a reason why you don't want other limitations in the urinary tract. Honestly, no healthcare professional would ever suggest that - for good reason. This is why the internet can be suboptimal for health advice....
 
shortylickens and silthdraeth, while you truly have my deepest heartfelt (and phallus-felt) sympathies for your conditions, i have to say this is my least favorite thread ever.

On the contrary, every time I had stones and ended up at the hospital, the nurses, and on duty doctors recommended beer, and both my primary care, and my urologist suggest drinking beer to help with a stone passing.

I see a Nephrologist for stones. Used to have them all the time in my early 20's. 1 Moduretic 5-50, and 1 Allopurinal 300mg a day, and I haven't had a stone in 20 years now. Cheap medication too, about $15 for both for 3 months worth.

It's an easily treated condition, I don't know why anyone would just suffer with it.

You think so huh? Well guess what?
This morning I pooped black.
Still having pains, and the drugs are running out.
 
I just got health insurance. The VA doctors were helping me over the last year, but they are incompetent.
And I drink a gallon a day.

holy crap (no pun intended) dude. is there anything you can do? i hope finally getting health insurance finally helps get you cured.

good luck.

that picture of the stone with the dime still makes me feel all kinds of bad.

That's the part you think I have a problem with?

Ok. Sorry, you have an issue that I pinched the tip to build up some pressure when the stone was in the final four?

Yes, I can say probably no health care professional would advise that.

I can't see how pinching it off is worse. If anything it allowed fluid to expand the last part of the tube the stone was stuck in, there by allowing it to dislodge. It didn't hurt at all getting it out that last bit once I did what I did.

Before that, I had been trying to pass the stone for a week, having it slowing move through my ureter, and finally getting stuck near the end.
 
Peed brown. Pain is back in penis. I dont think its coming out like its supposed to.

On the other hand, I've limited options. My local emergency room is a joke. I need to get some flow max for home, not just at the hospital.
 
God damn mother fucking wise and beautiful woman licker.

Now this bastard is keeping me up. I got like 3 and a half hours left before I need to get ready for school. Why does this bastard always hurt worse when I'm trying to sleep? Is it sentient? Does it know I ran out of the good pills already? I gotta get something better than Advil, cuz it aint workin.

holy shit mother of god!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jeeebusssssss!!!!!
 
people I have talked to say processed meats play a role in kidney stones.

8 f~cking stones, my goodness. I think I would have to do some serious soul searching and figure out what the heck kind of karma is coming back to me. I can't even sympathize as I can't even imagine what you are going through.

hope you get it figured out... and thus only makes you stronger?
