  • Yup exactly how I felt this morning... /:

  • I was wondering if there was someone who could help me. I was doing running today in school and I will admit that I haven't done running for a while. My thigh start to hurt and ache. I got home and now my thigh doesn't hurt but the back of my hip and a little higher does. Basically from my left kidney and below. I drunk some soda and it started hurting again. It hurts to move. It's like a sharpish achey pain. I don't have a good diet (crisps, chocolate, but I drink orange juice :p)

  • i THINK i have something like that..i have more than 1yr with that pain,, but mines goes and comes back,, it doesn't really hurt much, but it get me frustrated and moving around like he mentioned :-/ it hurts front and back in my left rib cage, i'm just that worried b/c its around the heart.. does any one know about that??

  • PAIN will bring down an ELEPHANT ..

  • Want to know what a stone feels like? Drive a 4 inch pole through your ribs and twist wile an elephant stands on your nuts and a midget constantly kicks you in the bladder. that's about what it feels like. :-) By the time you get to the ER you wont care if somebody just walks up and shoots you. that's how much pain you will be in. a stone can and will bring the toughest of men to their knees.

  • i develop kidney stones all the time. you can see small fragments in My pee every time i pee have been like that for 5 years now. i pass a 5mm to 7 mm stone once ever few months. Doctors cant figure out why. the only thing they have found is that My right kidney is slightly enlarged. that's it. all other test or normal. Diet is fine. Citrate levels are borderline but that's it. why am i a freaking stone factory? this is no fun. :-(

  • an herbal juice drink in my country will surely help. i know people who had their stones just fell on the toilet bowl.

  • If you have Kidney stones then your diet is wrong. First drop as much complex carbs as possible and stop eating so much cholesterol...kidney stones are formed mainly from cholesterol.

  • worst pain everrrrr!!! im 14 & been suffering for 2 years,

  • Kidney stones sounds painful!!

  • sudden pain. last for about an hour or so, then it goes away. Like childbirth? Yes in so many ways except in the end you don't get a beutiful pink little baby, you get a stone! Oh the pain!!!!

  • OOOH, they are SOO PAINFULL. Ouch, I hade one, and the silly bitch /I was living with, refused to call for an ambulance, because she was too lazy and wanted to go to bed early. Silly bitch. I was in absolute agony, and they coulden even be bothered to take me to hospital, they were more concerned in brain washing me into thinking organic food was good, and that I shoul blame "chemicals in my food. Funny thing was, I was always really unhealthy on organic food.

  • why are these doctors not recomending potassium citrate and citric acid alkaline

    solution ??????????????for all who are reading this i know that many drs said

    to wait and watch for kidney stones...............unless u have allery to patassium which

    is very rare PLEASE USE POTASSIUM CITRATE AND CITRIC ACID SYRUP............

    THIS IS THE BEST SOLUTION TO KIDNEY STONES AND PAIN WHILE URINATING....................A­NY MORE QUESTION PLEASE ASK ME INCLUDING IC PATIENTS

  • @mrpowerrman Do you get it at the health food store?

  • @herstome5656

    its available ...............it cost less than 2 dollar in india........................P­LEASE USE IT BEFORE THE PAIN STARTS.............ONCE THE PAIN STARTED EITHER U HAVE TO CRUSH THE STONE BY SPECIAL ULTRASOUND OR OPERATION.....................­.SO BEFORE USE THIS SOLUTION FOT 1 MONTH AND SEE

    THE DIFFERENCE.............AND FOR CONFORMATION CHECK AGAIN WITH ULTRASOUND

  • @mrpowerrman: Based on your wording, it seems that u r well versed on this topic....so I'll ask you as a favor, for ur opinion:This is the chronology of my situation: A) May 25th: terrible pain on my lower right back..... it started gradually, and extended(the pain) to the front,all the way to my right testicle.I felt nausea; close to vomiting.I experienced it for about 30 minutes only. B) May 26th: exactly the same process, but this time pain was more acute,and almost vomit, due.....

  • @mrpowerrman:...& almost vomit due....,according to the doctor,to the pain.This time it lasted 3.5 hours!! C) May 21: I went to the doctor.On a SCAN, the found a 2 mm. kidney stone already on the URETHER, and on its way to the urinary bladder. I haven't experienced ANY PAIN AGAIN. D):On May 22: I started to take twenty 0.4 mg capsules of FLOMAX,of which so far,as of today, June 01, I have taken eleven. I've been using a funnel with a very fine mesh to trap and examine small possible traces....

  • @mrpowerrman:...small possible traces...I have not discovered any small particles of the "dissoved" stone. Am I getting out of the woods on this particular 2 mm stone???? I still get NINE more capsules to take.....WILL THE TOTAL OF 20 CAPS BE ENOUGH for this stone to SHRINK ENOUGH as to not to cause further pain???

    THANKS IN ADVANCE, Mr. PowerMan.

    P.S.: CORRECTION on my first post: make May 25th the 18th; make May 26th the 20th.

  • @supernirvana dint you lisin he says it at the begining listen and become wise

  • had oneof these on sundays jesus fucking painfull as hell

  • how do u get kidney stones in the first place?

  • Beside drinking lots of water, I also drink lots of lemon juice and use RENAVIVE

    it works! After about a week of using RENAVIVE , I passed my stone with no pain at all.

  • I get kidney pain every day i have two stones in one kidney and three in the other and it hurts randomly all the time but my pain hits me in my lower abdomen and its gut wrenching and my fuckin doctor says to me they're not in a spot that should be causing you pain and tells me to drink more water wtf and im only 17

  • @shaneinsane410 Maybe see a kidney specialist??? my doc knew what they wear but could not really answer all the questions I had convincingly.

  • @shaneinsane410"; There is a naturopathic approach for this condition.

  • @shaneinsane410

    dear i had some problems but not beter good after using omeophatic medicine

  • Well time to drink lemon jucie for the rest of my life

  • I have one right now, I feel like I am dying. Worst thing I have ever expierenced.

  • @reidman2u drink 8oz of LEMON JUICE fresh or concentrated....worked for me this evening...prevented me from going to E.R....and I work there. Saved me $500 deductable, no NARCOTIC meds needed....won't have to call in sick tomorrow.

  • @reidman2u: Have you tries a hebal combination?

  • I passed a 11.5 mm stone once , the pain was excruciating as the stone lodged half way out for 4 hours until I drank 3 litres of beer and 2 litres of apple juice to dislodge it. The only thing that would kill the pain was Panadine Forte with Codine, morphine in the ER was useless.

  • i have been to the hospital 15 times for kidney stones....thank God for good pain killers...kidney stones are unbearable, rated at the hospital on the same pain level as giving birth...

  • My little bro sais that it hurts when he pees... he sais it hurts when he drinks a lot of water. could that be a sign of kidney stones.

  • good video

  • What is the clinician saying??? kidney stone main cause is primary hypercalcemia, mate... diet and salt my ass

  • Less salt, more water. That's my new policy.

  • i always have pain on my back... but I never pee them out, I feel so lucky :)

  • @louisg7594 One bad thing about not peeing them out is they can block the ureter and cause some damage in your body.

  • Ive had kidney stones since i was 8 years old. It is the most uncomfortable indescribable pains, its terrible.

  • Oh wow. I drink water probably once or 3-4 times a week, does that mean i will develop something like this? Also, i do eat salt but not as crazy as much like my sister who puts a lots of salt on just about everything. I put it on only when i think i need it but nothing else.

  • this was the second worse pain i have ever had, 2nd to appendicitis

  • Oh my god that what's i got. I have been stomach ache then pain back for 6days now and last night i couldn't sleep because i in so much pain. I tried to comfy myself. the doctor said i have water infection. Is this because i don't drink enough water because i don't. I have really pain back now i can't sleep.

  • This is exactly what kind of pain that I have been having!! I think that I have been passing these little boogers for the past couple months!! Plus I've had 2 months os recurrent urine infections. My pain radiates from under my ribs/lungs all the way down into my hips/pelvic area. Not fun at all!! Had KUB done monday and now it's sitting on some radiologists desk somewhere to be "reviewed". In the meantime I wait in pain.

  • i have had 3 surgeries the pain is HORRIBLE..if they couldn't get me out of the pain then JUST SHOOT ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @larryglass61: There is a naturopathic approach on my channel. It will remain posted for only a few days.

  • location of pain varies depending where the stone islocalized, a stone in the kidney pelvis or upper part of the ureter usually causes flank pain, a stone in the middle or lower ureter causes radiation of pain to groin and genitalia, mid ureter causes lateral flank and abdomen, pain is most of the time due to passage of stone, called Renal colic

  • my pain is in the front, ALWAYS is that normal??

  • if it was in the front it is proboly a blader stone*i hade one too on holloween in 2009*

  • @KeswickCamp08 I've had 15 surgeries over the last 11 years and my 3rd percutanious surgery removing it out my back again this week. Anyways, I've NEVER had pain in my back like most people say UNTIL the stones are over the size of golf balls, then i do. Mine is always in the front. Right under my ribs when they start then the whole way down to bladder and genitals. ITS AWFUL! Wanting to get my parathyroid checked to see if its causing all these. So, I'm not sure if its normal. It is for me.

  • My kidney stone just got out last night, 10 minutes before midnight, I was so damn happy looking at it go out of my pee. Thank God is over.

  • damn dude/chick, you will have a funny new years story to tell some time haha

  • I got a 6mm Stone I hope that I can get it smashed nice and small so it doesn't hurt when I pass it. I haven't felt any pain yet but today my kidney does feel a little uncomfortable if I bend down.

  • What's so bad about a diet high in salt if the kidneys take out any excess salt???

  • theres many things wrong with that sentence

  • And yet your not capable of pointing out to me one thing that's wrong with it. There's nothing wrong with that sentence, except for the fact it's put in simple english.

    Now, can you answer the question or not???

  • i thought you would know but you dont and if you eat to much salt your kidneys cant break it down and that is the kidney stone and also too much salt could result in heart and celestorol(spelling) problems

  • I understand how it's bad for the heart when in the bloodstream, but its only temporary if the kidneys take it out, so where's the problem?

    Your saying there's stuff wrong with my sentences? Take a look at your own. It's just "to" funny.

  • The kindeys would only not be able to break it down if there was WAY too much salt; just like the way we only produce sugar in our urine if we eat WAY too much sugar, unless of course diabetic. Or just like there is never amino acids in urine even if we have a high protein diet. Now unless someone goes around eating buckets of salt every day then I don't see where the problem is in having a high salt diet!

  • omg! i've had those pains since i was in yr 5 really! and i might ned an operation the doctor said :(

  • can pop cause kidney stones?

  • There is a reason hospitals are seeing such a dramatic increase in kidney stones in children that they are having to build pediatric kidney centers. Kidney stones in children ages 5 and up was almost unheard of more than ten years ago.

    There is a reason for this dramatic increase and it's not likely drinking less water or taking in more salt. After the 70s salt intake was reduces in the diet.  Kids today drink more water than kids in the 80s that were products of the soft drink explosion.

  • I would keep my stones. If I could afford it, I'd have them tested for melamine. You will have to find a special lab for this test.

    I am 100% sure melamine has been illegally in our food supply even produced by U.S. manufactures at least since 2007 and most likely since about 2003 on a large scale.

    I am aware of government representatives including the FDA that have knowledge of this and are keeping it secret.

    I really don't want to have to expose them as they promised to come forward.

  • had 10 mm and two 7mm a total of 24mm of stone stent remved 2 days ago stone s all broke down i was like a machine gun and pain no will understand

  • hiiiiiiii guys

    yesterday whole day i was having pain like helllllll..........morning in x ray i found stone of around 4 mm....Dr told me it will pass through urine.....does it so? how much pain it will be?

  • how did u get rid of them i am 20 years old and i just got one thats 4mm

  • garlic and lemon mixed with acv

  • eat garlic and lemon id sugest from fresh with tons of water and apple juice mixed

    with cider vinegar

  • I've been suffering from kidney stones for several years on an average of once every 4 to 6 months. The pain is like nothing you can ever imagine unless you've had one. Mine are uric acid stones as opposed to calcium stones which drs. tell me is due almost solely to dehydration. No matter how much water I drink, it doesn't stop. I live in fear of these attacks and feel absolutely exhausted for a few days afterward. Only the strongest drugs ease the pain somewhat.

  • 'I've been suffering from kidney stones for several years'

    What diet changes have you made?

  • i have a 7 mm stone, dr inserted a stent, get it removed in 2 weeks, very painful to urinate, and much blood,  but the meds help me.

  • haha fuck you all bitches, mine was 1.17 cm

    painful as fuck goin 2 the bathroom, i always took like 10 mins. to piss

  • damn thats huge, thats equal to 17 MM.

  • that about made me pass out!

  • im dying now.

    i dont know what kind of stones i have but i got pain. pain. pain.

  • i was just diagnosed with having a staghorn kidney stone...which will be surgically removed in a couple of weeks..so not looking forward to it...mine is blocking about 97% of my main tube and has been seeding infection causing unending bladder infections :(

  • i am getting a 7 mm removed on monday, 2nd visit, had stent installed, tons of blood when i piss and pain, now i have to go through it all again, reason 4 stent is stone was 2 close to kidney and 2 large 2 pass

  • I am 24 and have passed 5 stones so far and I am going through it right now. 2 ER visits in the past week w/out ins. "pretty spendy" so this is what I've found out for a great remedy that I've resorted to... a transplant!

  • You're too young for all those kidney stones, Jeffrey. What's your diet like?

  • Anyone know about this....Had a kidney stone, had all the pain, E.R. visit with catscan 5mm and it never passed that i can tell? I felt like crap on the meds (Oxycodone) and flowmax to open the tubes.. so I stopped taking them. Light blood in urine now but wondering if it just made it to a point the was say bigger and stopped hurting but is still there....

  • they so painfull

  • I have passed 5 of them in a 10 year period and I hate these damn things I have laid off the salt in my diet and I drink tons of water in hopes that I don't get anymore of them.

    I understand were you guys are coming from with the amount of pain involved I to have grabbed the nearest trash can and put it to use.

    I do not like the removal of the stent that sucks afterwords too but not nearly as much as the stone.

  • Renal colic can occur in any minute-and my tolerance for pain is zero:(

    In 2002 I had a 4 mm stone and peed it out spontaneously-it was worse than hell I am telling you.I've never felt such pain before!!!!!Now I am given 10 days to "give birth" to that nasty baby -if it does not happen,the stone will be broken by ESWL machine-I've never had a kidney stone broken before-people say it is less painful than the severe renal colic.

  • I went threw that this Sunday it was super painful! I woke up at 1p.m to go pee and I had that pain on my lower back so I decided to take a shower then I started feeling worse, I started vomiting constantly with chills and sweating nonstop, the pain was so intense, just like the pain I had suffered when my appendix went bad and almost bursted and I had surgery to remove it. well back to the kidneyy stones so I went to the emergency & they took a cat scan and told me it was one kidney stone!

  • I've had a chronic but minor pain around where everyone says kidney stone pain occurs. If I move a certain way I get a jolt of discomfort right there. Is this how it starts? I have a very high tolerance for pain but this really makes me wonder should I see my doc? Do I really have stones? If any one can enlighten me on the early symptoms I would appreciate it.

  • You should certainly have an x-ray done,or an ultrasound to make sure what it is. Nothing is worse than remaining uncertain and have fear of what is going to happen with you!!At this moment I have a 3 mm kidney stone in my left kidney-haven't yet had renal colic,and I am "forced" to knock back 2 liters of water now every day to try to get rif of my little evil scumbag.:-((

  • I had surgery on Monday to remove a stone the size of a bean. I am still in pain from the stint that I will have removed next week. I just found out that their is several different kind of stones based on your health.

  • I spent this past mother's day in the ER with pain I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. I ended up on my hospital room floor throwing up in the trashcan. The pain meds through the IV didn't even stop the pain. I will never forget this pain and I don't care who you are no person can tolerate it. My kidney's swollen and bleeding along with other areas inside my body. Maybe it's different for each person but my stone is a bastard and still hasn't passed.

  • wow i just got out of the hospital this morning after suffering a bad kidney stone!

  • I just passed 17 stones since Saturday! I am posting this for those that do not know that kidney stones can be SOFT until they hit air. I did not know that it was stones that I was passing until I went to the ER last night. Had a CT scan all have now passed and I am very sore with some cramping still. Took samples of what I was passing, and told Dr. that they were soft when they came out, he assured me it WAS stones! I was shocked! I had no idea stones could be soft!!! VERY painful!

  • i was at the ER last night for kidney stones too!!!

  • that is amazing! I am sorry! I know how you were feeling... I passed all of mine, did you?

  • doi pra caralho pedra no rim

  • i had alot of pain in my right kidney, i had to take tramadol in order to keep the pain from bothering me. i had hydronephrosis. i had to have my right kidney removed last year. the kidney was swolen and became big

  • I jus had my 3rd this monday and im only 20!!! Best thing iv been told to keep ur kindey clean is a Beer and cranberry juice like once a month. As far as stones go i didnt pass a stone first time. 2nd time yes...this 3rd time not sure if iv passed it or not lol

  • i think i'm eaith passing another stone, or i might have a uti.

  • if you have a kindney stone how would you know other than feeling better that you have passed it?

  • if you have a stone you know- you can definately feel it and you usually know exactly where it is in your body before the doctor even points to it on a diagram, think of a splinter except 1000s of times more painful..

  • I had kidney stones. More on my left, than my right. But they are just settling on the top of my kidneys. Once a while I get pain sensation. I was relief by pain medication (Morhphine) But, every morning I get the pain sensation, so I'll just keep drinking water, so it will not get worse. I hope there are some ways that it can dissolve by drinking something.

  • I have heard that drinking lemonade affects the ph of the urine and helps to disolve the stone.

  • Thanks. But I'm so afraid drinking anything right now besides water. lemonade would be nice though. I just had Iced Tea with lemon this morning. =D

  • As long as you have your pain killers at the ready (if that is what you are concerned about)at least try the lemonade,anything has got to be better than kidney stone pain.

  • My friend had kidney stones from drinking too much tea. Her doctor said too much tea is not good either. You're in no win situation. Avoid drinking SODA, especially Coke or Cola, tea, and calcium drinks, etc. You still need to have some calcium, don't restrict totally, but just dont take to much of it. I was told WATER is the BEST prevention for kidney stone. You want to FLUSH FLUSH that kidney. There's no fluid like WATER! Very important!

  • Definitely be careful with the amount of iced tea you drink... if you can, cut it out completely!! There was a study concluded back in the summer that iced tea, because it's such a concentrated amount of oxalate, sugars, and other factors, that it REALLY contributes to stone formation.

    I'm a big tea-drinker too... op for either diluted green teas, herbal teas, or white teas are best. And keep up with the lemon. ;-) All the best!!

  • I am also suffering exactly like u...........I had kidney stones. More on my left, than my right. But they are just settling on the top of my kidneys. Once a while I get pain sensation.............Again the pain is tiny and it is for around 10 seconds.........am also drinking lot of water............how u r handling this problem??

  • im only 11 and i cant last very long w/out water.

  • ive had 2 kidney stones and im 11 im telling you it hurts soooooooooooooooooooooooooo much i almost died! i kept trying to move to feel better but it never worked i had surgery when i was 5 and had o pee it out a 9. it has ruined my life!

  • Damn this guy is hot, if my doctor's were hot like him, I would go more often

  • you've obviously never had kidney stones then!

    if you went to hospital with the pain, it wouldn't matter if all the nurses were naked, all you would be thinking about is... where's the feckin pain relief???!!!!

  • hahahaha indeed you don't care for nothing at that moment!

    . . "Mr. you just won 1 MILLION DOLLARS!!!". . . grunting like a beast: "Yeah great, whatever, where the fuck is that morphine?!?!" Give it to me. GIVE IT TO ME NOW!!!!

  • @sugarpuffsandwich There`s never enough drugs

  • @sugarpuffsandwich That's exactly what I was thinking when I was hospitalized a few days on Monday. Nurses had to to give me 4 mm of morphine because the pain was too much. They ran an ultrasound, a catscan and even hooked me to an IV, but all I wanted was the pain to go away.

  • OMG.........i just came back from school and it really hurts where that dude in the video said :S nUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!! i'm like so freaakkkkkkOUUUTT :( awweee it hurts lol i just started drinking water :) i hope it goes awayy>>>

  • omg lol i bet if i felt pain goin from my kidney to my groin id prolly guess it was a kidney stone

  • kidney stones are the most painful thing in the world. I have given birth both natural and by c section. I had my gallbladder removed. I have broken bones.  I have never felt pain even close to the pain of kidney stones.

  • Kidney stones is not merely a problem if you just avoid to much salt in your diet. And increase fluid intake will help from preventing such thing.

  • i just had 3 lil cartlidge thingy outta my willy and now im freaking out ahh ! :(

  • I have kidney stone disease. It is the most excruciating pain I have ever experienced and I have had three children!!

  • Worst pain I have ever experienced.and I have a high threshold for pain. Went to the ER and morphine didn't touch it. I passed it during the CT Scan. The doctor told me that it's about the same as a woman experiences while birthing a child. I didn't know weather to pass out cigars or apologize to my wife

  • @chickcoop They probably didn't give you all they could. They make sure you aren't an addict. I have passed blood several times this month; had a CT scan; and I'm still passing blood. Terrible back ache but this is just like a passable stone will do. It can make you out a liar when the tests come back looking good. They'll pat you on the back and tell you to make appt with them. I had my 1st the 2nd day after I got out of basic training. I was almost 19. Ultimately I lost my govt job.

  • @chickcoop I JUST had a kidney stone!! Worst pain I have ever felt in my whole life!!

  • @ChristineTammy1970 Yeah it's like a man passing a fetus through his penis. No matter how tough someone thinks they are, this pain is unmeasurable on a scale of 1 to 10.

  • @Viktir666: Your right. This pain HUMBLED ME( a self styled "independent", "always healthy", "no-nonsense man") A LITTLE. If you click on KIDNEY STONES, and then on the video posted as "HOW TO PREVENT KIDNEY STONES", u will notice a doctor ,Jennifer Ashton, describing her own experience as worse "than giving birth".

  • Primary parathyroid Hyperplasia,causes kidney stones too.I have calcium stones embedded in my pancreas,for which I have had 24 surgeries to remove them,this is ongoing.I first was found to have kidney stones @39, they say my kidneys are calcified,I am in 4th stage renal failure.These problems were finally discovered after complaining of pain since I was 19. Not one doctor cared.The important thing is for you to know this. I hope this helps someone! Symptoms began at 19 when I was 53,pPTH found.

  • What the fuck is with the music?

  • lol my mum had a kidney she suvieved and kidnies kill?

  • does he have a napkin on his head at the beginning?

  • lol, It's just the quality of the video.

  • this is exactly what i feel, this stones are killing me, i started eating alot less and what i ate had lots of salt, lots of soda, i cant find a confortable possition, life sux right now.

  • Does it really hurts? IF IT IS, ILL NEVER DRINK SODAS ill drink water perday(even some water thatts 20% dirty..)

  • i was up all night screaming my head off and this morning my mom said it was probly a kidney stone it hurt like hell but im only 13 is that even possible??

  • yes it is

  • Last night I was in great pain at the washroom. Blood came out. I noticed a stone in the urinal. I'm pretty sure it's a kidney stone. I will take it to my doctor for analysis. I hope it's one! Hopefully it will end an almost 2 years of pain!

  • I'm sure I have kidney stone, I had an attact couple days ago, I "almost" went to the ER, but I thought it would be nothing... now I have to go see the doctor soon, but what hurts most is the cost not the stone itself... darn, what a life!!!

  • I don't drink water (about a cup a day -yea am a freak-) but i dont eat salt i hate it.

    I know i still get salt from food i buy from shops that have salt in them before i cook them but is it likely that i will get kidney stones.

  • I have kidney stones. what the urologists said is true. the pain began on my back and then continued to my testicles. it was so painful i ended up in the ER. that was back in Feb of this year, i am finally going to have the stone taken out on 4-21-08. i think its 1.5cm big so yea...

  • Same happened to me, woke up at 4:30 thinking i just had bad cramp, then it got so intense, i couldn't sit still, and started blacking out. I drank liver salts, which i just threw up,with blood too! My left testicle was painful too. The nurses were amazing that day and eventually passed it through. Now drinking 2 litres of water a day (if not a little more).

  • I've only heard of men getting kidney stones. I know it must be possible for women to get them. But is it more typical in men? And if so, why?

  • There so much more pain to the kidney stone then just back pain. If your a dude, kidney stones will be NO FUN AT ALL. I've had one, and it caused pain all over my right scrotum and then moved to both of them and I could barely walk right or lay in bed.

  • Being a woman with kidney stones isn't any walk in the park.

  • na its easier for women easier to get a raw thing out of a vagina then a dick

  • @dedclownsRfunny Have you tried a naturopathic approach? 

  • Thanks

    guess what everybody i'm having a kidney stone!

  • congratulations!

  • Kidney stones are really painful, I had them and It hurted like hell...

  • Am gald i havent had it (yet anyway)
