I passed a kidney stone today! Not a great time!

I get them every so often. Not a lot of fun! I wouldn't wish it on anyone!

A doctor told me once that I was "just going to keep getting them" and he was right.

They should really call them kidney crystals. Here's a picture of mine today, not really NSFW

Anyway, what's your experience with kidney stones and other sensitive area pain? We can empathize and commiserate!

I’ve been told to lay off the Tums but I haven’t gotten a stone yet. Probably the gallon and a half of water a day.

One time my balls and taint were swollen, so I went to a doctor and he put his finger up my butt. True story.

I had something odd on my foot and my wife insisted I go to the urgent care.

I spent $75 to learn that I had a wart on my foot. I'm not stepping into an ED unless I'm in fear for my life

I have what I believe is an old injury or small cyst that makes it feel like I have to pee a lot and can keep me up/make me uncomfortable. I believe it may be scar tissue pressing on something in the area. It ruined my sleep a few years ago and the doctor couldn't really figure out what it was or get anything resolved. They found a small cyst in an ultrasound but said its unlikely that its the culprate.

I've mostly been watching when I have fluids (no coffee and minimal fluids in general for long car trips, no liquids for a few hours before bed) to manage it, and am doing better.

Every once in a while I'll get an intense pain lasting ~20 seconds in my taint-to-scrote region. Mainly it's caused by one of three things:

1. Sneezing real hard

2. Landing hard on a jump

3. Poorly executing a roundhouse kick (I do a lot of roundhouse kicks, most are good but even the pros whiff)

So far so good on avoiding kidney stones. Sorry about your troubles OP

AN A+ OPSTER (:
I'm sure I posted this story before but back when I was in school I had a roommate who one day decided that he just wasn't going to drink water anymore and was only going to drink energy drinks (and liquor of course). He would load up on all the weird rear end off brand ones you'd find at the 99cent store like Chuck Norris branded poo poo or whatever and just drink like 5 a day. All of the rest of us roommates told him this was completely hosed but he was the kind of guy who would just call you a pussy and then pack a lip of dip if you told him anything about like essential self care.

Anyways a couple of weeks later and he is just gone for a day and when he shows back up he tells us he was in the hospital and turns out he has kidney stones and that doctor said it was from blasting himself with like 1000000% of the recommended dose of every single weird rear end vitamin in the energy drinks and is basically in an extreme amount of pain all the time.

We obviously all laughed at him at first for being so loving stupid to be probably the only 20 year old to give himself kidney stones and then we all got pissed off at him for being a stingy rear end in a top hat because he wouldn't share any of the painkillers that he got prescribed with us

My boss’s wife is an alcoholic who drinks an entire bottle of Kaluha every single night. She ended up in the ER with the kidney stone to end all kidney stones.

Apparently the doctor walked into the room after the MRI or whatever scan and asked if they would sign off on something so he could share it with the rest of the medical community. Said he thought it might be the biggest one ever recorded.

Not a doctor, but that combination of fats / alcohol / cream is probably not great for you in large doses.

A distant cousin on my mom's side doesn't drink water at all because and I quote, "Fish poo poo, piss, and gently caress in it, along with most other wildlife and people."

His reasoning is that coffee, tea, Gatorade/Powerade, and beer all have water in them, so he's getting his water intake anyway, and that's all he'll drink.
