My advice lads and lasses. Kidney stones..

The joys of getting old, eh! Still it beats the alternative.

 

.Wife said aving kidney stones was worse than aving a baby, i would'nt know but she was in a lot of pain. Get well soon Mr Churtonred.

 

I am waiting for the call to go in to get rid of two. One the size of a pea the other the size of a kernal of sweetcorn so no way they will come out naturally. Mind it feels like a full pea pod and a Corn cob. Can't wait, it's non stop annoyance, pain isn't as bad as it was but it has it's moments.

 

That's the problem with public hospital wards, public transport etc. They tend to be used by the public and too many of the public are, er, unappealing company.

Hope you stay sane and get out soon.

 

Glad you're feeling better!

 

I’ve suffered for years .. the way my body is I’ve been told I’ll constantly form them the only good thing for me is they are small enough to pass naturally so it’s just a terrible pain and not unbearable .. every specialist as told me the same thing drink a minimum of 3 pints of water a day , cut down on salt and have at least 2 vegetarian days a week to try and minimise the amount I form ..apart from that I’m tickatyboo

 

The fun starts when they tell you that are going in with a camera.
It slowly sinks in where they are going in with a camera.
What the beggars don’t tell you is the camera is equipped with a wide angle tele photo lens that is powerful enough to tell you the colour of a mouse’s eye. On the moon.
And it’s mounted on a tripod.

 

I’ve had 3 in my time and been hospitalised on every occasion. Pissed them out every time.

Excruciating.

Last one was worst, thought I was dying and ended up calling an ambulance. I was in so much pain morphine wasn’t working so the nurse said only option is to stick a massive torpedo up my arse.

Next thing I’m on all 4s being pegged with a drug laced submarine.

 

Thanks DSL.

 

I was given a rectal painkiller day before yesterday. Nurse sent me away to insert it. I felt a right twit coming back out two minutes later cos I couldn't get the packet open! Her indoors isn't going to let me forget that one.

 

Passed one when I was 19, still to this day don’t know why I got one so young. I remember writhing around on the floor begging in my head for death. It was that painful. I’ve had an absolute dread and phobia of ever getting one again since.

 

I was in Pinderfields a couple of weeks ago for the weekend having IV antibiotics for a bout of Parotitis ( not something pirates get in their shoulders) it was an infected saliva gland in your face that blew up like a puffer fish . I had a Polish bloke who called the whole of Poland on his phone talking from 6am to 11pm non stop then snored in between , the FaceTiming his dog and barking at it for an hour was the worst

 

Worst pain I've ever experienced - I talked to a woman (a mother) who'd had them and she said it was actually worse than childbirth.

 

It’s ok till someone starts frying bacon. The swelling gets even bigger.

 

I've never had one but being honest, none of you are selling the idea to me.
