Never get kidney stones!!

[harrisonm]

I am dealing with a bout of kidney stones on the left side now. I had a procedure today where broke up the stones with laser and ultrasound. The pain before was bad and the post op pain is worse. Right now, oxycodone is barely touching it. From now on I am going to drink more water. How much water I drank was one of the first questions he asked. The answer was “not enough”. This really sucks.
The reason I am posting this is to try and convince all my FABO friends to drink more water.

I've been there. I feel for you. They hurt like hell.

That`s all I drink, coffee flavored water and tea flavored water.

Dad would get them(hereditary) and he would pass them. I asked why not get them blasted? He said he would rather pass one or 2 instead of like 6 or 7. Apparently spicey foods contribute to their formation as well. Sorry to read, I worry about them due to being hereditary.

Your dad was lucky that none of them were ever too big to pass. One of mine was 9mm and got stuck in the ureter tube between the kidney and the bladder. Those big ones are the killers.

I've had them several times, they hurt like a *****. Check your diet, and check the stones, to see what there makeup is. There will be certain food you should stay away from. Always stay hydrated, and it's not a catch up game, you have to stay ahead.. Good luck.

I had one back in 2017. I have a short list of people I would wish it on.
