Chad G. Posted June 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 Doc said they "yes I said they" he hopes will pass, so giving it two weeks, if not by then "or too much pain or swelling" surgery to have them roved. I had lithotripsy two years ago & almost bled out so no more of that unfortunately !! Some of my answers might be questionable for a bit, no pain meds because my digestive system won't tolerate them, a "rock & a hard spot" situation.

Ric Posted June 15, 2023 Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 @Chad G. I get the feeling that you're one tough son of gun, which can come in real handy when you don't have any other options. I'm definitely thinking about you, and hoping for the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DR. has me waiting to see if I pass them by this coming Monday to avoid surgery If not he's gonna remove them. I'm on the verge of passing them right now. They'll probably be out by later tonight. "What a bunch of ^&^%#$$%%. Oh yeah, same size as last time 4-5 mm, not 2mm as I was first told !!

I hope this was your last attempt 🍻🔥👊🍻🔥 RAR Not the last, I just had an 8mm stone surgically removed this Dec. the 4th 2023 on the (R) side w/ one 3mm waiting in the wings in the other kidney. Dr. says I'm a "Stone Farmer" since he can find no other reason in my diet for my body to be manufacturing them & I mean manufacturing. About every 6-7 months I start getting a stabbing feeling in my (L) or (R) flank. Yee- Haw, here we go again, pain so unbearable I swear I hallucinate @ times but that all ends when I see the Dr. approaching, here he comes now ( No pictures this time, I'm sick of seeing them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 Damn Dude ! Too bad you don’t have kidney Oxblood Bricks. I’m just trying to make you laugh a little bit here. I’m sorry 2024 started this way for you. My Big Guy Captain in Boulder passed a “stone “ He had it in a little veil with a little cap one it. He passed it around. I looked in there and I couldn’t see anything. WTF ? You’ll get a kick out of this. I finally saw it. It was literally the size of a grain of sand under 10X loupe. LOL ! 6’9 275lbs Wild land Fire Fighter crying about that one? Stay strong Brother 🔥 RAR👊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carowill Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 As a physician, I know that kidney stone pain is some of the worst pain imaginable. I’ll put you in my prayers, Chad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-rett66 Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Chad, I feel Ya. I’ve had 7 or 8 of them. The last one had to be removed surgically. Not fun. Since then I drink at least two liters of water a day. My daughter also has had a few and she passed this one a few years back. She’s way tougher than I am. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treetiger Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 I hope that you are feeling better and staying healthy. Having kidney stones--I can only imagine what it is like. My best wishes and hopes for really good health, happiness, and being pain free go out to you. Big hugs!! May the Gods grant you the gift of marbles -on the outside, not the inside.

schmoozer Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 Had one a few years back, resulted in a 911 call for an ambulance. Went for the ultrasound treatment. Never experienced such intense pain before. I was almost ready to pull the trigger, so the wife is now totally paranoid.😱😱 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted February 3 Author Report Share Posted February 3 Can't have lithotripsy "the thumper" (ultrasound) when they did it my first go round they thumped my kidneys so hard with the sound waves I almost bled to death so a big no no for me, nothing but surgery from there on out unfortunately, yeah the most intense pain I've ever felt for sure, going through surgery w/o pain meds is a living never ending nightmare, especially after waking up from the anesthetic. My digestive tract is screwed up so no opiates or ibuprofen, nothing but Tylenol, ugh !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
