Kidney stones

[Grampa]

Now when I think I might be getting one I have a patented remedy I think you'll like:  Drink one beer of choice, fast.  Fill the empty bottle with water, and down that fast also.  Repeat that about 4-6 times.   

After a couple pees, no more pain.      

I do the water an tequila treatment

Morphine makes everything good.

Truer words have never been spoken.

Wow!! Did you see the sharp edges on those things?

Ouch! 

Hope they pass with as little pain as possible, bp.

People have compared passing kidney stones to childbirth. Thanks, but I'll pass....

My father has had a lot of kidney stones.  He would have to ( believe it or not take a strainer with him where ever he went.)  I just can not imagine the pain.   Hang in there BP.  Lets hope it's just back pain.  Take it easy

If you go see a doc Joel, ask for a strainer (you really shouldn't have to ask).

Hang in there and good luck to you.

If I remember correctly we had a nifty procedure in the OR where we could zap those puppies. Maybe it was gallstones tho....

Some urologists will try ultrasound, but it's hit or miss. Usually only used when the stones are too large to pass through the ureters...

Pretty fackin' sweet science behind it, tho. Generate sound waves at one focal point of an ellipse, pulverize kidney stones at the other.

according to Kaiser, they have to know the make up of the stone prior, to being able to do that.... and or, wait until the stone becomes more of an issue than just being a painfull thing. I was told to monitor my temp, because if my temp rises, thats a sign of infection, and if thats the case, they go in..... until then, it's just wait for it/them to pass.

You know what, haven't had any issues since I started riding all the time.  My first and only one so far was right after I got my bike, about 2 years ago.  Now I make sure to alternate hitting the ton in 5th gear, and hard accelration from about 15 MPH in 3rd gear at least a couple times each time I ride, you know, just to keep things a little shook up.  Doctor prescribed...
