Kidney Stones

I'm 25 and got one... this is probably the WORST pain I've ever had. It's been a week or so (didn't know that's what I've been experiencing), but today did me in. I felt like I was giving birth to a midget out of my man area.
I think some has passed, but geesh.

I've had 3 or 4 bouts with Kidney stones,, I would not wish them on my worst enemy. They have had me begging for 'pain medicine'.. and nothing helped. I would recommend going to a doctor/hospital,, if you think you have passed them or some of them you will need some medication. I was given CIPRO, that is an anti-bacterial medication that helps with inflamation. It is NO FUN,, telling you from experience.

I have always heard that when a man passes a kidney stone that it just about equals a woman giving birth.
I really hope you get better!!

It's the worst pain imaginable. I've unfortunately had several bouts with kidney stones. The pain has made me pass out before.

I had them about 10 years ago and I would not wish that pain on anyone. I found that I have developed a whole new appreiation for my wife having four children.

I could barely drive myself to the doctor today. I couldn't stand up, and think this morning was the worst of it. Hands down, the most agonizing pain EVER. The doctor said mine formed up in my kidneys, so I've had the pleasure of feeling it slowly go down to my bladder.
Pain medication is absolutely horrible, doesn't do enough. They gave me flow max as well.

Was in the hospital when I was in 10th grade...the fellow in the other bed was an elderly gentleman. I heard him talking to someone about kidney stones. Said when he passed one, it hurt so bad that he bit down so hard that he broke his dentures.
