Kidney Stone help

[Scott714]

Woke up at 2 a.m. with severe pain. Thought maybe it was food poisoning. Drank some Gatorade and puked it all. At 5 a.m. went to emergency room cause it was so bad. They did a cat scan and said I have 2 kidney stones to pass. Never had any before.

Advice ?
Stories....

Drink lots of water. My wife gets them a couple of times a year. Once it was too big to pass and she had to have surgery to remove it.

[Scott714]

Yeah. The way they told me they get them out on a guy sounded like a real good time...Hoping they pass on their own

I've never had them, but from what I've heard, one of the procedures they do is use shock waves to break the stones into smaller pieces, then you pass them out when you pee. It appears to be a non-invasive procedure, but passing them is no fun either from stories I've been told.

It feels like your pissing out razor blades. You will know when there coming out you will see blood in your urine. Lots of fluids, some drinks help break them up

[Scott714]

I wasn't told about shock waves. He said they shove a tube up you and pull them out. Through the urethra !!!

A friend use to have them often years ago. He was told to
add something acidic to his diet, he drinks a large quantity
of water with a little pure lemon juice added to it.

He can't say for certain that it cured him, but he does testify
that he has never had another one since he started his lemon
water diet.

If I ever had stone problems, I'd research this claim a
little further.

Thankfully I have never had this problem but I have also heard that acid in the diet helps from others.

Ok, I'm cringing....

Although a guy I knew a few years back had them a lot, he basically expected it.
He said it was because he drank a lot of coke/pop and that was the cause.

I have no idea on any of this though, or than I don't want to experience it.

He said it was because he drank a lot of coke/pop and that was the cause.

I've been told that from friends that had them as well. People that have a lot of sugar intake in their diet are pretty susceptible to them.
