Passed a Stone.

[Jackal]

Yeahp. Last night at about 11pm EST, I passed a kidney stone. While it was rather small (about the size of a grain of sand) it hurt. Not really bad thou. Enough to make me get angry about it. Anyways, I felt it about mid-way, then I pee'd and it went to the tip. It never came out, but I got it out eventually, and I saved it. I'm looking on WebMD right now to find a medice I can take to help dissolve any others that are in me. :( :( :(

All I can say is: EW. No matter how, pissing stones is as nasty as it is painful.

[Al]

That sucks. Anything going out of your weiner that isn't piss, has gotta hurt

lol

[Otej]

it hurts you to ejaculate Idren?

[Al]

Yes, yes it does.

I've heard about an old remedy involving the use of egg shells that will dissolve one of the two types of kidney stone.

[Cap'n Beeb]

Did you not have any symptoms whatsoever before you passed it?

Also, drink cranberry juice. Alot of it.

How's that supposed to work?
kidney stones and egg shells are probably made of the same material.
Now if Jackal could inject some high concentrated vinegar acid directly into his kidneys he'd be all set... assuming that it doesnt kill him.

I've passed kidney stone, bigger than what you describe. I missed the last one but I think it was just a smidge smaller than a BB. Took a week and a half to pass it. Hurt like mutha. Pissing it out isn't a big deal, its having it travel from your kidney to your bladder that makes you want to set yourself on fire.

[GotBeer?]

Most people that pass stones have incredibly painful cramps, fever, all sorts of fun symptoms. And let's not forget the "trauma" done to your eurethra. You felt it halfway through? Luckiest bastard ever.

Disclaimer: I've never had one, but I do work in a hospital and have seen the miserable SOBs that come into the ER. Short of actually having my penis cut off, I can't think of anything worse happening "down there". Except maybe The Candiru. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candiru)

[Rukee]

breaking off a catheter would be a bitch. :(

[GotBeer?]

breaking off a catheter would be a bitch. :(:eek:

A few years ago, we were holding down this combative O.D. (wet is a wonderful drug) so the nurse could insert a Foley to get urine. For FIVE MINUTES the nurse was trying to get the cath in, but it kept rolling up "somewhere" in there. So, for 5 minutes, pushing and pulling that tube ("You wanna use some more lube?" "NO, we're good"), I'm getting queasy, my partner's looking all pale and pastier than usual, and finally the nurse decides to try a hard-tip. Well, that worked right off the bat, and some blood started flowing just before the urine. I was like "Dude!", and the nurse says "It's nothing, just a little trauma from the catheter." I'm sorry, but you cannot use "just a little" in front of trauma when talking about something like this. You just can't.

I can't find a link that explains it and this is probably about another type of stone in the body, but I read an article somewhere about a simple recipe that a woman came up with to dissolve stones. Doctors were sceptical at the time but it turns out that the recipe is effective with one of the types of stone that exist.

well, if you stumble across info on this post something about it... actually I'm just intrested in the chemical reactions behind it.

[Azura]

I'm having great trouble finding it on Google. All I know is that a woman who had no specialisation in medicine came up with this and was rejected at the time (possibly 1800s or 1900s). However, people came to find that her "remedy" did work in some cases. And, yes, I'm interested in the chemistry also.

My seventh grade English teacher had a kidney stone a size of a little under a golf ball, and had to have surgery to remove it, and she named it Charlotte!

Anyway, ingesting too much calcium makes kidney stones iirc.

[MrSmiles]

that's a big stone

I once got two kidney stones simultaneously travel from kidneys to bladder. I'd rather be stabbed repeatedly than live through this again.

[The Dopefish]

BTW, "Passing of a Stone" would've been a more interesting title. :D

[BobCobb]

Ingesting too much calcium. Uh oh.

I'm gonna be screwed.

I drink lots of milk, and I love cheese more than life itself. :(

[Trynant]

Ow
OW
OWWWOWOWOWOWOWWW

The happy side to this penal post is that it was only the size of a grain of sand, and not a pebble.

As for cat fuzz

Renal calculi are actually more common than you might think, it's just that often they are so tiny they pass without incident.

My wife had one that was something like 5mm, got lodged in the kidney so it couldn't pass. They have her something for the pain, and then after wrestling with insurance forever, got a sonic blast to vaporize that sumbitch. It came out as sand-like granules after that.

Bottom line, you would need urine samples immediately after passing, plus the stone, plus another sample a few weeks later, and a urologist to look at all that fun stuff and tell you why it happened, in order to prevent more of the same from cropping up.

God help me if I ever get one. :(

[BobCobb]

I need this sonic blast device you speak of. I have to remove the implants. I can't stand these voices anymore. They are driving me insane. :rant:

[Thrash123]

I started reading some of the posts, but now I think I'm going to vomit. And cry.

Ugh. Make it all stop.

[BobCobb]

THERES A ROCK IN MY PENII!

[Jackal]

Did you not have any symptoms whatsoever before you passed it?

Also, drink cranberry juice. Alot of it.

Yeah, I picked up a bottle of cran juice today. I've known to drink that for kidney problems. It really helps your body out alot. And no, there were no symptoms before.

I had a larger one, about the size of the BB, when I was 9 years old. Now, can you imagine a jagged sharp BB going thru your penis. This piece I had yesterday was just small...the size of sand, and that hurt like mad.

Anyways, before they had the sonic blaster thingy, I had to take these huge pills that looked like horse pills. 700mg or something like that. I eat alot of cheese too. I also drink tons of tea with extremely large amounts of sugar, and lots of milk too. I'm gonna start drinking Cranberry Juice everyday now. Atleast a cup before I go to work.

Incase anyone is intrested, here is the WebMD portion on Kidney Stones, along with some information about helping to avoid them and get rid of ones that you have. http://www.webmd.com/search/search_results/?query=kidney+stones&filter=mywebmd_all_filter

You didn't feel a single thing? I'd go to the doctor about that.

"So, what can we do for you?"
"I passed a kidney stone, but I didn't feel a damn thing."
:con:
"What?"

I did feel it. About midways up on the penis itself. That's the only way I knew there was anything there. When I pee'd, it moved, then I knew for sure that it was a stone.

[Cap'n Beeb]

But you didn't feel anything before it reached the penis, correct? No pains near the small of your back?

[Jackal]

Nope, which was werid. I have back problems (lame for 22 I know). So if I did, I didn't think nothing of it being related.

[Cap'n Beeb]

Weird. What shape was it? Smooth or jagged?

[Zxanphorian]

it would be awesome to pee pearls out :D
(if it isn't painful ;) )

[Jackal]

Weird. What shape was it? Smooth or jagged?
In between I guess. My camera is broken at the moment. I mean from what I could see with my bare eyes, it 'looked' smooth on one side, rough on the other.

Edit:

I wanna say it looks like this. http://www.herringlab.com/photos/3/68-Chol99-CaBi1_small.jpg

Again, calculi occur more frequently than we realize and often pass unnoticed. It's only the large ones that we actually refer to as "kidney stones" and which have the symptomatic nausea and back pain, because they are blocking the passage from the kidney out of the body.

How the hell did someone get a four-sided die in their kidney?

Screw that, I wanna know how it was pissed out.

Lots of "fluid" ROFL. Get it...fluid. your name is fluid. ahahah. :(

[Cat Fuzz]

If you don't pee enough, you run the risk of forming kidney stones. Another good reason to drink lots of water.
