I know it probably doesn't help much at the time, but somehow I feel a bit encouraged just knowing that what you and I have experienced has been experienced by many, many others. Somehow it helps, knowing that others understand what it's like. I hope that helps you also on some level.
i been to the ER 2 times since mondy for a killer kidney stone. went in monday left same night, stayed off work tues went in wed was ok then on thursday i got the worst pain of my life. was shaking and throwing up on myself. spent 2 days in the hospital looking at over 60,000 in medical bills and the stone has not passed yet. I have been taking the flomax and painkillers drinking lemon jucie and EVOO with tons of water daily. in the hospital i had 10 800ML bags of fluid.
@raymenendez (most she ever seen in 11 years) i am looking at surgery if the pain does not stop. all from a TINY 1MM stone. this sucks so bad i wish it upon no man or woman.i have had second degree burns,broke hand,fingers,fractured knee cap, NOTHING amounts to the pain from this kidney stone...NOTHING.
People who have not experienced it just have no idea at all. That's insane about the med bills! So many times I've thought about moving to the States, but you know, this one thing alone is enough that I'll NEVER live there. How does one survive such large med bills? Insanity is not even strong enough a word.
@kimchiman1000 my insurance kicked in dec 1st.....first visit was nov 30 so i got screwed there for a few 1000 but hopefully my 2 day stay is covered. if not ill be in debt for the rest of my life. im 27/m BTW so it sucks. UPDATE: got some lipaderm pain patches and they work wounders on pain. my mom had a spinal fusion and had boxes of these things ( 500 USD a box of 24) and they really help with painkillers. still when the killer pain sets in nothing helps but a IV of dalidun.
My first one was two weeks ago, it was the size of a BB. Hospital bill was $12,000, and I passed it two hours after I got home. No insurance so I will have to deal with it the next time.
You know, I've never given it a lot of thought before, but keeping in mind that I could potentially pass more stones in the future, I think it would probably not be a good idea for me to live there. $12000 is almost more pain than what the stones give you. You have my sympathy.
Dude i'm a little bit scared now, i woke up with my urine smelling really badly, didn't think nothing of it next day same thing but a slight pain in at the bottom of my back to the left after looking on the internet i thought i might have something wrong with my kidney or a UTI, woke up this more the pain has now spread to the front at the side, After reading about kidney stones i am now really scared please don't let it be that, doctors tomorrow if the pain doesn't go.
I've had a huge stone. What people don't understand is, it doesnt hurt when you pee them out. It hurts when they pass through inside your body. Everyone thinks the pain comes when your peeing out the stone. I didn't feel nothing at all. But holy shit did it hurt when it was passing inside me. This guy said it all. I'd rather cut off my ARM with a rusty butter knife then pass another stone.
Im scared, i just starting to have a very small pain on the left of my body and i was wondering if its a kidney stone(s). I drink lots of water and usually eat pasta or something with tomatos in it.
I agree with you regarding the pain! My doctor told me that if we pass a 2nd stone, we'll most likely keep forming and passing them. Yeah the lemons work, but how do we stop them from forming? I passed my 1st stone at 22. I'm 53 today and still have stones. I drink 3 to 5 liters a day and have stopped counting the stones!
Hey Brother thanks for your vids and story , I 'm going through it right now . I'm giving your lemon juice tip a try , wish me luck . Did it hurt passing either of your stones ? Have you found anything to help prevent them in the future ? Thanks again and stay well .
oh i know. the pain the second time around was not at all as bad as the first ever time. but my body went in to fear mode and i was crying shaking muscles tensing from the fear of the pain getting to the badness it was b 4 . but i drank so much water and lucky passed it. but i know another 1 is in there as i get lil pains now and then in the kidney. x
honestly ,the pain from child birth is so much worse, but the pain dosen't last as long as having a kidney stone so i think thats why kidney stones feel worse. my longest birth was my 1st daughter she took 48 hours from contractions to being born it was agony but the next day i felt ok . thats why i would rather give birth it dosen't last as long.
as for passing a stone it's not so much pain (or it wasn't for me anyway) but just not nice, but glad to get it out .
18 months ago I experienced my first kidney stone pain. The pain was excruciating. The hospital found a 5mm kidney stone that was on its way down to my bladder and a couple more just waiting. After several days and very little pain relief I turned to the internet. I tried everything I could find. I even found a remedy that promised an 80% success rate. I was desperate so I bought it. Within 12 hours the pain had gone completely. Over the next 2 days I passed my Kidney Stones, pain free.
kimchiman000 i have just had to pause the video to tell you i had exsact same pain as you . vommiting so much that in the end nothing would come up because my beely was empty, i know exsactly what you mean,i had my first spout 2 years ago when i was 25 yrs old. thhey told me i had 3 stones 1 was on its way out follow up told me i had 1 6 month ago. 2 nights ago the pain come back after 2 years, scared the hell outta me, went to hosp and peed it out. still got niggly pains in left side still
I've heard that lemon juice can help soften and dissolve the stones. I've tried it, but I won't know if it works for me until several more years go by without having any more kidney stones.
I'd like to get your thoughts on something, if you don't mind. If you were to rate giving birth and passing a kidney stone, on a scale of one to ten, with ten being the most painful, how would you rate the stone, and how would you rate the pain of child birth?
I ask because I will never know from personal experience, but would like to try to understand it from a woman's perspective.
Sorry about all the pain that you've gone through. I experienced my first one yesterday for about 3 hours. It hurt as much as a back injury. I vomited up all the water I drank. I put my urine in a clear water jug. I haven't seen any trace of sand or stones. Good luck. See eHow. Health & Nutrition: How to Prevent Kidney Stones. On this video she says to stay away from soy and almonds. I eat a lot of both, she might be right on target.
When younger, you tend not to get kidney stones perhaps because your digestive system is working optimally. Later in life, after various things happen, your digestive system might become harmed by various activities. H. Pylori bacteria are very difficult to kill, and would likely survive a regular course of antibiotics. These infections have been traced as the cause of GI tract ulcers. Acid reflux causes damage to esophagus. Whether infection or acid reflux, cancer has been linked to both.
When a doctor detects elevated white blood cell counts, they treat this with a full course of antibiotics. This could kill off good bacterial flora of your intestines and thereby cause kidney troubles by stopping oxalate elimination through the intestines, forcing all such elimination through the kidneys?
Separate sequences of keywords: peristalsis oxalate, Japan water ionized platinum electrodes antioxidants.
If intestines secrete oxalic acid to assist digestion, but food / drink already contains acidic or foods with oxalic acid or a microbe infection stops this, then feces elimination of oxalate would be inhibited, forcing the elimination to be through the kidneys thereby causing kidney stones? Kangen Water?
Drink water. I have had stones 5 different times in my life and they were all caused by dehydration and I believe that if you take a supplement of vitamin C; they can also cause them. I hate drinking water. I have found that when I make myself drink water daily, the stones don't come back. Think about it; if you drink water they never have a chance to grow. Blessings. Joshua I am dehydrated now. I am going to make myself drink a large glass of water.
I wasn't in any pain then. Just when the stone moved from the kidney to the bladder. The urethra (out of the bladder) is a much larger passage than the ureters (from the kidneys to the bladder). So I didn't even feel the stone pass out of my body.
Thanks for making this video. I've been in so much pain from these damn things I thought I was going to die. I have a 5-6 mm stone in my right kidney that created intense pain and got stuck in my ureter. The pain got so bad I got sick and the doctors performed an emergency operation to add a stent and reduce some of the pressure. Couple days later I find out the stent procedure pushed the kidney stone BACK into my kidney. Now they are talking about breaking it up with lithotripsy.
Well Al, I feel your pain. Literally I feel your pain. I was waken at about 3 this morning by a very sharp, severe pain in my lower left side. I tried to ride it out but it was so unbearable I had my mom take me to the hospital. They did a CAT scan and found that I have a 3mm Kidney Stone on my left side and a 2mm in my right kidney (which I was surprised because my right side was fine). And I'm 16!
@WillieWonka928D WELCOME to the club, young man! You KNOW I sympathize (while mildly chuckling just now - don't ask why). Change your diet - NOW! (definitely NOT 'NWO', lol) Yeah, I know I should take my own advice, but.... But what? Hmmm.... Ahh...I'll put that off 'til my NEXT kidney stone....it won't be so bad. Right? ;-) But seriously, Willie. IF you change your diet, you can avert further 'stone encounters of the third kind'.
@kimchiman1000 Thanks, thanks a lot Al LOL. I know, I do need to start eating better, I guess this is a wake up call you can say.
And its been almost 2 days since I was in the hospital, and I still haven't passed any of my stones, or at least I think haven't. Either their still in there, or I just passed them without knowing (if thats even possible lol) so I don't know what the deal is. I don't have any pain in my sides, and I've only taken a couple 600mg pain killers.
@kimchiman1000 Oh, and one more thing, Al. After the debilitating pain in your side, is the pain pretty much over? I mean, is it painful when it comes to peeing it out? Mine are kinda small, so I'm really hoping they pass without much pain.
I've NEVER had any pain peeing the stones out. Even with the biggest one (in one of the videos) about all I had was a bit of a tickle as it went out. But I've read comments from others that said it was like peeing out a razor blade. So I guess the experience can vary from person to person.
Always a good idea to pee through a strainer (you can get 'em from the hospital when you're there), so you know when and if the stone has passed.
very interesting just watched the video............ my daughter has scarred and shrunken kidney and is in awful pain... i asked the consultant if she might have a stone that could be causing the pain... he seemed to dismiss this... but i am tempted to get her some lemons.... surely that better than morphine and similar strong meds for last six months
hey i'm so sorry for you having to go through this...quick question..does drinking lots of water prevent stones? didnt have enough time to watch whole video.
@adamwwagner very interesting just watched the video............ my daughter has scarred and shrunken kidney and is in awful pain... i asked the consultant if she might have a stone that could be causing the pain... he seemed to dismiss this... but i am tempted to get her some lemons.... surely that better than morphine and similar strong meds for last six months

Two trips to the ER Friday and then Saturday.... Nothing, nothing comes close to the pain of Kidney stones... I tell'ya - you'll find the Lord. I sure the hell did... LOL
Hi there having watched your short films about kidney stones i would just like to say what you said was spot on about not having pain like it ever.i had my second bout of kidney stones just 6 months ago which put me in hospital for 5 days.the pain was the worst i have ever had in my life.i must try yours and others idea about lemons.i think anything that can stop these from happening is worth a try.i do hope your back on the mend now.and thanks for putting your thought to film they help.cheers.
The is not the rite thing because it.s make you medal sex i now the rite way are you want to now whit is the rite way to remove a kidney stones my email is kidneystonestreatment@yahoo.com my number is +923214664225 name is Ahmad Mujtaba
i currently have a kidney stone dont know how big or anything but the hospital doesnt give me pain medicine do you know what the best otc pain medicine is??
I totally feel your pain man. I was in the ER Saturday with my second kidney stone in my life. My first was on Thanksgiving Day of 2007. Yesterday they had to keep giving me Dilaudid because the pain was so intense. I ended up getting very sick to my stomach from the combination of the pain and the painkillers. Hate is a strong word, but I HATE kidney stones, I passed the damn thing yesterday. The pain lasted for about 6 hours. I think I fear getting a kidney stone again over death.
"I think I fear getting a kidney stone over death."
Interesting that you should say that. I remember with my last stone (which brought about this video), in the first 15 - 30 seconds or so, when I KNEW what was coming in the NEXT few seconds, the biggest thing by far was the palpable DREAD. At the time, when the pain was at its worst, I did actually pray to die, and I wasn't kidding, either. I remember asking the guy at ER, who was there for his mom, if he had a gun...
...if he had a gun, and if so, would he mind terribly much to put it against my head and pull the trigger. Sadly, while I meant it as a form of humor, I was only half joking about it. I didn't want to die, but at the time, given the choice between death and the pain I was in, I probably would have taken death.
Yeah, I know that will come across like a cowardly cop-out kind of thing to a lot of folks, but yeah, I 'feel your pain' so to speak.
@kimchiman1000 I know exactly what you mean. I'm a grown 32 year old man and I was acting like an 8 year old at some points on Saturday. My mom had to pick me up from my house and take me to the ER. I cussed at her because she didn't go through a red light on the way there. I'm normally never like that. When I got there, I sat in a wheel chair. I had tears in my eyes. Couldn't help it. When I was in the hospital bed, I told my mom to have someone shoot me. True story. Not a good time
I had my 1st kidney stone & open surgery when I was 18. It was the 1st full day after getting out of basic training. This one was not so bad considering the surgery. The Pain can be much worse. Unless you've had your ureter blocked you don't know what pain is. This man mentions migraines which I have had all my adult life of 63. I did pass an 8mm stone and they are still scratching their heads. Beyond the stone itself my urinary tract has been cut up like a chicken. I'm in pain all the time.
Dude, you are not kidding. I'm going through the experience right now. I have 2 stones about 4-6 mm. This is the worst pain a man can know under normal circumstances.
Yeah, I imagine there are worse things, but I don't like to think of what. I'm sure there are ways to be tortured that are far worse. But knowing how bad the pain of kidney stones can be, I'd hate to think of what kind of person would be willing to inflict pain worse than that one someone else.
Kind of an odd reply comment, I suppose, but you got me to thinking when you said 'under normal circumstances'.
Imagine if someone were to drill out every one of your teeth and then jam the drill into the nerves of all your teeth at the same time, sort of a 'Marathon Man' kind of thing.
Then take all that pain and concentrate it into one spot down on your side and back.
That's one way you could sort of relate to kidney stone pain. Some aren't that bad, but the really bad ones are.
@obxkino I wouldn't hold my breath that this would work. YOur lucky they can be blasted. 20 years ago you'd be looking at 5 surgeries. Kinda puts stones in perspective. I'll tell you what is really bad that you wouldn't want one your worst enemy: Over the years with oral & injections of narcotics you come to a point where I am. Last ER visit I thought I could smell morphine coming outta my skin pores and still no relief. Now that's sad situation that I've had to endure.

You have a good attitude, my friend, very hard to do under the circumstances. I am going to try the lemon juice treatment. I just had an attack two nights ago and went straight to the ER. My third time, so I knew to request an I.V. bag with a Dilaudid drip. Within six minutes, I went from hell to heaven. Left today and am on Percocet every six hours.

yeah they got me on flomax, percacet (for pain), finergin (for nausia/vomiting)
oh i've had bad toothaches too one from an absessed which i had to get pulled eventually. still dont compare to stones. somethin about kidney stone pain just feels like fucking hell and some have made me vomit. i've vomited so much from the last one that i have gag reflexes that i normally never had.
now i gag easily just from brushing my back teeth or hear someone blowing thier nose or when i take out the trash
hello mr. kimchiman. im 24 yr old from the philippines. i have a 5 mm stone on my both kidneys. i want to try the lemon juice. will i do this everyday?plss help.thnx
I'm only 29 and got a 1mm stone last Friday, along with it came massive pain, went back to the ER the next sat and have a 3 mm stone, neither of them has passed and I have constant throbbing in my back. Really is driving me nuts. Good thing this is finals week for my last semester in college, cause this along with that stress is loads of fun. You find some sort of prevention let me know. This is killing me.
Hey there, just wanted to thank you for your videos on the stones. I have one that's 1.2 cm, the doc says it's the size of an marble. My surgery is may 6th and their plan is to put a stint in and then give me the sound treatment.
I remember when I had mine, it hurt so bad I kept puking in the doctors office, least 4 or 5 gushes. It's so much worse than normally throwing up, because you have that wave of pain in your fucking belly side.
I've been having oxcyllate stones for 20 years - maybe one or two a year.
Largest was about 5 or 6 mm, but most are 1 mm or so.
Just wanted some advice .... I had a stone three days ago (broke free of my kidney, passed through urethra etc), and thought I'd passed it and not noticed. But since then, I've been needing to pee all the time ... but with little volume ... and feeling discomfort in my bladder. Do stones get lodged in the bladder? Can I just drink lots of water and hope to push it out?
Just my opinion here, but I doubt that it is lodged in your bladder. If it managed to get that far without you experiencing much pain, then it probably was a small one. My understanding is that the urethra is larger in diameter than a ureter; so if it makes it through a ureter, it should make it through the urethra without any major problem.
As to the urge to urinate, I'm thinking you may have a bladder infection, or else may be diabetic but unaware of it. Maybe check into that.
so update from my last comment. i just got out of surgery yesterday to have my kidney stone removed. it was 4mm and stuck to the wall of my ureter. i have a stent in my kidney and two strings comming out of my penis which have to stay in for 5 days. peeing is really painful and is mostly blood. i feel a special sadness for people with kidney stones from now on. hoping my fist kidney stone was my last

so as an update i had surgery yesterday to remove the stone i had 2 weeks ago. it was 4mm and stuck tot he wall of my ureter. now i have a stent in my kidney and some string comming out of my penis. peeing is extremely painful and its mostly blood. i hope that no one has to experience this ever. i fell a special sadness for anyone cursed with kidney stones from now on. hopping that my first kidney stone was my last.
I think I'm going to cut down on the huge amount of tea I drink. I haven't had a kidney stone yet and having watched this vid, hope I never get one. Good vid.
I just got back from the emergency room with kidney stone pain.... i cant describe the pain that i felt. i threw up so much and was litterally rolling in the bed crying stoping only to throw up.. worst pain i have EVER felt. i hate this so bad. this is my first one and i am only 24yrs old.
@dragon0362 The bad thing is once you get your first stone, you keep getting them. I just had one blown up thankfully the past week. I know how you feel. It sucks.
I had my first attack 5 days ago n still suffering. Crying ever since. But Ur video had me laugh my first laugh this week. Birth to my twins in 08 was easier than this no question! The pains so bad I feel as if I will pass out!
I started having kidney stones at about 21 yrs old. Been in the Hospital 2 times and to the doctor 2-3 times with stones. It took a while for me to figure out what was causing them. I used to drink tea at every meal. Was raised on tea. When I quit drinking tea, they subsided. I used to have 1-3 stones per year. After I quit the tea, I have had very few. I am 50 yrs old now.
for frequent kidney stone formation, Cellery, grapes and Rhoubarb are responsible.
So do not eat those things.
I met a person who use to eat cellary as snakes. he has 16 mm stone. I too eat cellery and rhubarab .Rhubarb contains 13% oxalate which combines with Calcium and forms calcoum oxalate stones.
The common consensus here is that short of being drawn and quartered, stones are the worst. And now that I think about it, drawn and quartered might not be as bad as a stone. It took 4 days for me to pass it!! 4 days!!
Hey bro, Fellow stone sufferer here, was wondering if you like spicy foods? thats one of my favorites, and I'm starting to think its one of the causes. anyone, good luck bro.
i think i'm giving birth to devil i still have the mother fucking stone, going on 12day's thank god for dalitian pain med..cant wait til it's passed!!
Im feeling ya bro.., I loosed my first kidney a bit less than 48hours ago and still waiting for it to pass.., it has been excruciating so far
when it originally broke loose the pain was comparable to a heart attack and yes Ive had one of those too.., my stone was originally maybe the size of my last thumb joint and I could feel it there with my hands.., it sat without movement for a while and cause mass pain and then broke up and shifted and has had one more break up and shift since
hydrangea root and marshmellow root have been proven to relieve pain assoc. with kidney stones within minutes, and will dissolve most stones within a few days for only about $25 dollars,, u decide
I totally agree about the kidney stone being the worries pain ever. I had stitch in my leg, Broken collar bone and broken wrist. I would rather did with that pain then the kidney stone pain.
I have had kidney stone since I was the age of 14 now 43 it gets better bro. Drink lemon juice! You will have smaller stones and less pain. However it can cause problems with your teeth. I was told by the dentist to brush with Sensitive toothpaste which contains potassium nitrate. Good luck man try to find out what type of stone you have also so you can adjust your diet if needed.
i feel your pain...i have passed dozens of stones since the mid 90's...i thought it was the worst pain felt until i was diagnosed with a spinal cord tumor two years ago. i would pass 100 stones than deal with one minute of spinal cord pain. take care everyone
Hi Kimchiman, Was any of your stones stuck in the kidney. Mine is, a 4.8 mm stuck for the last 19 months. This is the first one of my life at 43 so dont know what type it is. Lemon juice/olive oil hasn't worked. Apple cider vineger removes the symptoms but not the problem. I will try this lemon juice this weekend and hope and pray it comes out. It doesnt cause pain for me, just discomfort and I feel tired most of the time. I think multivitamin caused it, so why type could it be? Thanks.
All I can do is wish you luck. It seems that several people here have different recipes for kidney stone killers.
I 'think' I passed one last week, as I had 'mild' kidney stone pain, which seems to have passed a few days ago. I only did the lemon juice thing once, so I can't really say if it works or not. But I hope it will work for you.
I feel your pain my brother, literally. I passed a 3mm stone about a year ago and the pain was just as you described. From beginning to end it lasted less than 24 hours. I'm now in the process of passing another one of about the same size and have been since the beginning of May. My CT scan showed that it's sitting about halfway down the ureter. The cocktail that worked for me was a combo of Toradol and Dilaudid. I was prescribed were Tic Tacs (Vicodin) which are absolutely useless. Pray for me.
Im 38 had kidney stones since I was 14 I finally figure out that every time I eat pepper seeds whether is mix with food or alone, I end up with kidney stone attacks within 3 days, plenty of water and just 2 ounces of lemon juice mix with 2 ounces of olive oil works great for me every time I take it as soon as I feel the symptoms . No more pain and will pass the stones in little chunks as if it dissolved them
over 2 mo ago I started having pains again.I knew what it was since I had 1before. this time I have no medical insurance so I was trying to wait it out.since my first one was to large to pass and the pain became to unbearable, after about a mo an half I went to the ER. the E.R. doc said I'd be able to pass this one in a couple of days.that was May 21.Its now June 14.I've tried the apple cider vinegar,the olive oil lemon juice. today the 8 oz. lemon juice.I cant take anymore, I want a gun!
I'm with you Bro. I just got back from ER. Nothing. and I mean NOTHING comes close to the pain experienced while passing the stone. It was only (only?) 3mm. Morphine didn't touch the pain. I'm a big guy and can tolerate pain (I thought) but this was beyond belief. If I had gun, I'd of end it all. If this is like child birth - I want nothing to do with it. Keep us posted on the lemon juice. Oops. Gotta run. Where is that urine screen?
LOL! I actually asked the guy next to me in the hospital if he had a gun, and if he wouldn't mind just putting it against my temple and pulling the trigger! No kidding, and I meant it, too!
Of course, now I'm glad that he did not oblige. Having said that, don't go with morphine - the stuff's useless! Get them to give you Demorol. A lot of hospitals want to give you morphine, and refuse to dispense Demorol.
I found that morphine would not even touch the pain of my kidney stones, but it only made me feel wose from nausea; Demorol, on the other hand, helped me a LOT. When I'm admitted, the first thing I tell them is "I'm ALLERGIC TO MORPHINE. I need DEMOROL". As soon as you're 'alergic' to morphine, they suddenly and magically have access to Demorol.
Re childbirth: One nurse told me she's had babies and stones, and that for her, the stones were FAR worse.
Good idea. I'll say that I am allergic to Morphine.
gotta go the the Doctor tomorrow and see what's next. Apparently I have a "suitcase" full of them according to the ER Doc. Hope the lemon juice works cause blasting them with ultrasound has a 17% chance of resulting in diabetes. according to one study.
It's worth a try. Diabetes sucks. I wish I had never gotten overweight. If I had known it would lead to diabetes, I would have been more careful in the past.
more from prev. post...I've read that Calcium Oxalate stones can be controlled with diet, you have to not each high oxalate foods/drinks. Also read that vit. B6 and Mangesium is suppose to help ward off stone development. Thanks for the videos! Not sure if I want to try to drink to flush this thing or just wait for a week till Litroscopy shock treatment can be done. My fear is when passing one how do you know if it's just taking long time to pass or if it's stuck? Not looking forward to this!
I don't blame you for not looking forward to it. But a couple of dozen lemons, and make up some straight juice and drink it. Part of the juice gets converted into potassium citrate inside your body, and it goes to work to dissolve the stones FAST, if they're calcium oxylate based. Do a search for 'dissolving kidney stones' here on YouTube, and you'll find what you need to know about how to do it.
I've also got a vid about it at my 'bigalsinbox' channel, where I show what I did. I WON'T make any promise that it will help you, but it MIGHT, so it's worth a try, and might save you a whole world of pain just dead ahead, if you know what I mean. And if you don't know, then believe me, you don't WANT to know.
Currently dealing with a 4mm stone sitting at the top or entrance of the ureter tube. I think it's teeter tottering back and forth teasing about going down. Achy, tighness type pain in back and ribs comes and goes. Feel swollen, and at times like someone is tightening up the muscles around that area. Suppose to have it blasted w/ sonic waves (Litroscopy) next Friday. Today is Fri. have to wait a week. Machine only comes to hospital every other week. Getting quick electrical type pains too.
Having had 5 children, gall bladder stones ( have them in a vial! lol) and removal, i can safely say Kidney stones are the worst!
Ive had them blasted, lazered and peeed them out!...Had the sickness..the pain....and thought i was dying! The doctors said they are worse than being set on fire and being stabbed!!!!!
Myself...nothing helps because my body just loves making calcium and oxalate stones!!!!!!!
The only thing that will and does help is drinking lots of water :o(.......
You 100% right,I've had em and would almost choose death over them again.I just try to drink lots of water and thank God I have'nt had any since Dec 01. Good luck buddy,I sure hope you don't have to deal with them again.God bless
There was a procedure that you sit in a hospital bathtub & the doctors set off small "concussion" bombs in the water, to break up these kidney stones. I'm surprised that your doctors did not suggest this method.
Wow. The pain must of hit you really hard back in '91 for you to fall out of the Excavator Cab not feel the ground.
I'm not feeling well either. I'm dealing with my usual coughing thing. I've had coughing problems since 4th grade and pnemonia 7th grade and I've been real sensitive to stuff that does anything to my lungs like laughing a lot which I hate cause I laugh a LOT.
I know thats way far from kidney stones but this is bad enough to effect my everyday life. Just though I'd share.
Look for a product called 'Respiractin'. You might have to find a distributor from searching on the internet. Some health product stores, and a few pharmacies, stock the product. If you can afford to, then buy a LOT of the stuff, before they force it off the market.
It WORKS, and it doesn't taste bad, either. If you take it regularly, it will keep your lungs and bronchi clear and free of pneumonia and coughing, etc.
healthmart2000 [d o t] c o m. Just do a search there for 'respiractin'
Note: It may take a few weeks before you notice any improvement from this product. That's because it's actually helping the affected tissue to heal, rather than just a drug, which never heals anything.

I know it probably doesn't help much at the time, but somehow I feel a bit encouraged just knowing that what you and I have experienced has been experienced by many, many others. Somehow it helps, knowing that others understand what it's like. I hope that helps you also on some level.

i been to the ER 2 times since mondy for a killer kidney stone. went in monday left same night, stayed off work tues went in wed was ok then on thursday i got the worst pain of my life. was shaking and throwing up on myself. spent 2 days in the hospital looking at over 60,000 in medical bills and the stone has not passed yet. I have been taking the flomax and painkillers drinking lemon jucie and EVOO with tons of water daily. in the hospital i had 10 800ML bags of fluid.

UPDATE: got some lipaderm pain patches and they work wounders on pain. my mom had a spinal fusion and had boxes of these things ( 500 USD a box of 24) and they really help with painkillers. still when the killer pain sets in nothing helps but a IV of dalidun.

I've had a huge stone. What people don't understand is, it doesnt hurt when you pee them out. It hurts when they pass through inside your body. Everyone thinks the pain comes when your peeing out the stone. I didn't feel nothing at all. But holy shit did it hurt when it was passing inside me. This guy said it all. I'd rather cut off my ARM with a rusty butter knife then pass another stone.

I agree with you regarding the pain! My doctor told me that if we pass a 2nd stone, we'll most likely keep forming and passing them. Yeah the lemons work, but how do we stop them from forming? I passed my 1st stone at 22. I'm 53 today and still have stones. I drink 3 to 5 liters a day and have stopped counting the stones!

honestly ,the pain from child birth is so much worse, but the pain dosen't last as long as having a kidney stone so i think thats why kidney stones feel worse. my longest birth was my 1st daughter she took 48 hours from contractions to being born it was agony but the next day i felt ok . thats why i would rather give birth it dosen't last as long.
as for passing a stone it's not so much pain (or it wasn't for me anyway) but just not nice, but glad to get it out .

18 months ago I experienced my first kidney stone pain. The pain was excruciating. The hospital found a 5mm kidney stone that was on its way down to my bladder and a couple more just waiting. After several days and very little pain relief I turned to the internet. I tried everything I could find. I even found a remedy that promised an 80% success rate. I was desperate so I bought it. Within 12 hours the pain had gone completely. Over the next 2 days I passed my Kidney Stones, pain free.

I'd like to get your thoughts on something, if you don't mind. If you were to rate giving birth and passing a kidney stone, on a scale of one to ten, with ten being the most painful, how would you rate the stone, and how would you rate the pain of child birth?

When younger, you tend not to get kidney stones perhaps because your digestive system is working optimally. Later in life, after various things happen, your digestive system might become harmed by various activities. H. Pylori bacteria are very difficult to kill, and would likely survive a regular course of antibiotics. These infections have been traced as the cause of GI tract ulcers. Acid reflux causes damage to esophagus. Whether infection or acid reflux, cancer has been linked to both.
oldspammer 1 year ago
When a doctor detects elevated white blood cell counts, they treat this with a full course of antibiotics. This could kill off good bacterial flora of your intestines and thereby cause kidney troubles by stopping oxalate elimination through the intestines, forcing all such elimination through the kidneys?

If intestines secrete oxalic acid to assist digestion, but food / drink already contains acidic or foods with oxalic acid or a microbe infection stops this, then feces elimination of oxalate would be inhibited, forcing the elimination to be through the kidneys thereby causing kidney stones?

Drink water. I have had stones 5 different times in my life and they were all caused by dehydration and I believe that if you take a supplement of vitamin C; they can also cause them. I hate drinking water. I have found that when I make myself drink water daily, the stones don't come back. Think about it; if you drink water they never have a chance to grow. Blessings.

I wasn't in any pain then. Just when the stone moved from the kidney to the bladder. The urethra (out of the bladder) is a much larger passage than the ureters (from the kidneys to the bladder). So I didn't even feel the stone pass out of my body.

Thanks for making this video. I've been in so much pain from these damn things I thought I was going to die. I have a 5-6 mm stone in my right kidney that created intense pain and got stuck in my ureter. The pain got so bad I got sick and the doctors performed an emergency operation to add a stent and reduce some of the pressure. Couple days later I find out the stent procedure pushed the kidney stone BACK into my kidney. Now they are talking about breaking it up with lithotripsy.

I tried to ride it out but it was so unbearable I had my mom take me to the hospital. They did a CAT scan and found that I have a 3mm Kidney Stone on my left side and a 2mm in my right kidney (which I was surprised because my right side was fine). And I'm 16!
I'm gonna do the lemon juice thing though.

And its been almost 2 days since I was in the hospital, and I still haven't passed any of my stones, or at least I think haven't. Either their still in there, or I just passed them without knowing (if thats even possible lol) so I don't know what the deal is. I don't have any pain in my sides, and I've only taken a couple 600mg pain killers.

@kimchiman1000 Oh, and one more thing, Al. After the debilitating pain in your side, is the pain pretty much over? I mean, is it painful when it comes to peeing it out? Mine are kinda small, so I'm really hoping they pass without much pain.
WillieWonka928D 1 year ago
@WillieWonka928D
I've NEVER had any pain peeing the stones out. Even with the biggest one (in one of the videos) about all I had was a bit of a tickle as it went out. But I've read comments from others that said it was like peeing out a razor blade. So I guess the experience can vary from person to person.
Always a good idea to pee through a strainer (you can get 'em from the hospital when you're there), so you know when and if the stone has passed.

I totally feel your pain man. I was in the ER Saturday with my second kidney stone in my life. My first was on Thanksgiving Day of 2007. Yesterday they had to keep giving me Dilaudid because the pain was so intense. I ended up getting very sick to my stomach from the combination of the pain and the painkillers. Hate is a strong word, but I HATE kidney stones, I passed the damn thing yesterday. The pain lasted for about 6 hours. I think I fear getting a kidney stone again over death.

"I think I fear getting a kidney stone over death."
Interesting that you should say that. I remember with my last stone (which brought about this video), in the first 15 - 30 seconds or so, when I KNEW what was coming in the NEXT few seconds, the biggest thing by far was the palpable DREAD. At the time, when the pain was at its worst, I did actually pray to die, and I wasn't kidding, either. I remember asking the guy at ER, who was there for his mom, if he had a gun...

kimchiman1000 1 year ago
@Mr96tears
...if he had a gun, and if so, would he mind terribly much to put it against my head and pull the trigger. Sadly, while I meant it as a form of humor, I was only half joking about it. I didn't want to die, but at the time, given the choice between death and the pain I was in, I probably would have taken death.
Yeah, I know that will come across like a cowardly cop-out kind of thing to a lot of folks, but yeah, I 'feel your pain' so to speak.

@kimchiman1000 I know exactly what you mean. I'm a grown 32 year old man and I was acting like an 8 year old at some points on Saturday. My mom had to pick me up from my house and take me to the ER. I cussed at her because she didn't go through a red light on the way there. I'm normally never like that. When I got there, I sat in a wheel chair. I had tears in my eyes. Couldn't help it. When I was in the hospital bed, I told my mom to have someone shoot me. True story. Not a good time

I had my 1st kidney stone & open surgery when I was 18. It was the 1st full day after getting out of basic training. This one was not so bad considering the surgery. The Pain can be much worse. Unless you've had your ureter blocked you don't know what pain is. This man mentions migraines which I have had all my adult life of 63. I did pass an 8mm stone and they are still scratching their heads. Beyond the stone itself my urinary tract has been cut up like a chicken. I'm in pain all the time.

I've been having oxcyllate stones for 20 years - maybe one or two a year.
Largest was about 5 or 6 mm, but most are 1 mm or so.
Just wanted some advice .... I had a stone three days ago (broke free of my kidney, passed through urethra etc), and thought I'd passed it and not noticed. But since then, I've been needing to pee all the time ... but with little volume ... and feeling discomfort in my bladder. Do stones get lodged in the bladder? Can I just drink lots of water and hope to push it out?
SARKYBUGGA 1 year ago
@SARKYBUGGA
Just my opinion here, but I doubt that it is lodged in your bladder. If it managed to get that far without you experiencing much pain, then it probably was a small one. My understanding is that the urethra is larger in diameter than a ureter; so if it makes it through a ureter, it should make it through the urethra without any major problem.
As to the urge to urinate, I'm thinking you may have a bladder infection, or else may be diabetic but unaware of it. Maybe check into that.

Welcome to the club. I hope it's the only stone you ever have to experience.

@dragon0362 The bad thing is once you get your first stone, you keep getting them. I just had one blown up thankfully the past week. I know how you feel. It sucks.

I started having kidney stones at about 21 yrs old. Been in the Hospital 2 times and to the doctor 2-3 times with stones. It took a while for me to figure out what was causing them. I used to drink tea at every meal. Was raised on tea. When I quit drinking tea, they subsided. I used to have 1-3 stones per year. After I quit the tea, I have had very few. I am 50 yrs old now.

for frequent kidney stone formation, Cellery, grapes and Rhoubarb are responsible.
So do not eat those things.
I met a person who use to eat cellary as snakes. he has 16 mm stone. I too eat cellery and rhubarab .Rhubarb contains 13% oxalate which combines with Calcium and forms calcoum oxalate stones.

The common consensus here is that short of being drawn and quartered, stones are the worst. And now that I think about it, drawn and quartered might not be as bad as a stone. It took 4 days for me to pass it!! 4 days!!

Im feeling ya bro.., I loosed my first kidney a bit less than 48hours ago and still waiting for it to pass.., it has been excruciating so far
when it originally broke loose the pain was comparable to a heart attack and yes Ive had one of those too.., my stone was originally maybe the size of my last thumb joint and I could feel it there with my hands.., it sat without movement for a while and cause mass pain and then broke up and shifted and has had one more break up and shift since

for anyone that hasnt experienced this he is right when he says he would take all his comparable pains at once
Ive been shot., stabbed., have had my skull cracked and my jaw broken and more but this is the embodiment of every pain x10
Im ok at the moment but in 15 or 20 so minutes I will let out a sudden cry of pain that will make the neighbors think its amytiville horror over here

I totally agree about the kidney stone being the worries pain ever. I had stitch in my leg, Broken collar bone and broken wrist. I would rather did with that pain then the kidney stone pain.

I have had kidney stone since I was the age of 14 now 43 it gets better bro. Drink lemon juice! You will have smaller stones and less pain. However it can cause problems with your teeth. I was told by the dentist to brush with Sensitive toothpaste which contains potassium nitrate. Good luck man try to find out what type of stone you have also so you can adjust your diet if needed.

i feel your pain...i have passed dozens of stones since the mid 90's...i thought it was the worst pain felt until i was diagnosed with a spinal cord tumor two years ago. i would pass 100 stones than deal with one minute of spinal cord pain. take care everyone
missamelie17 2 years ago
Hi Kimchiman, Was any of your stones stuck in the kidney. Mine is, a 4.8 mm stuck for the last 19 months. This is the first one of my life at 43 so dont know what type it is. Lemon juice/olive oil hasn't worked. Apple cider vineger removes the symptoms but not the problem. I will try this lemon juice this weekend and hope and pray it comes out. It doesnt cause pain for me, just discomfort and I feel tired most of the time. I think multivitamin caused it, so why type could it be? Thanks.
mrsluvp 2 years ago
All I can do is wish you luck. It seems that several people here have different recipes for kidney stone killers.
I 'think' I passed one last week, as I had 'mild' kidney stone pain, which seems to have passed a few days ago. I only did the lemon juice thing once, so I can't really say if it works or not. But I hope it will work for you.
kimchiman1000 2 years ago
I feel your pain my brother, literally. I passed a 3mm stone about a year ago and the pain was just as you described. From beginning to end it lasted less than 24 hours. I'm now in the process of passing another one of about the same size and have been since the beginning of May. My CT scan showed that it's sitting about halfway down the ureter. The cocktail that worked for me was a combo of Toradol and Dilaudid. I was prescribed were Tic Tacs (Vicodin) which are absolutely useless. Pray for me.

Im 38 had kidney stones since I was 14 I finally figure out that every time I eat pepper seeds whether is mix with food or alone, I end up with kidney stone attacks within 3 days, plenty of water and just 2 ounces of lemon juice mix with 2 ounces of olive oil works great for me every time I take it as soon as I feel the symptoms . No more pain and will pass the stones in little chunks as if it dissolved them

over 2 mo ago I started having pains again.I knew what it was since I had 1before. this time I have no medical insurance so I was trying to wait it out.since my first one was to large to pass and the pain became to unbearable, after about a mo an half I went to the ER. the E.R. doc said I'd be able to pass this one in a couple of days.that was May 21.Its now June 14.I've tried the apple cider vinegar,the olive oil lemon juice. today the 8 oz. lemon juice.I cant take anymore, I want a gun!

I believe you. I also wanted a gun. I'm so very sorry. Please try to hang in there.
From what I've read, it takes a lot more than 8 oz of lemon juice to dissolve the stones.
kimchiman1000 2 years ago
how many times a day do you drink this lemon and olive oil and for how long?
sookiestackhouse2u 2 years ago
I'm with you Bro. I just got back from ER. Nothing. and I mean NOTHING comes close to the pain experienced while passing the stone. It was only (only?) 3mm. Morphine didn't touch the pain. I'm a big guy and can tolerate pain (I thought) but this was beyond belief. If I had gun, I'd of end it all. If this is like child birth - I want nothing to do with it. Keep us posted on the lemon juice. Oops. Gotta run. Where is that urine screen?
chickcoop 2 years ago
LOL! I actually asked the guy next to me in the hospital if he had a gun, and if he wouldn't mind just putting it against my temple and pulling the trigger! No kidding, and I meant it, too!
Of course, now I'm glad that he did not oblige. Having said that, don't go with morphine - the stuff's useless! Get them to give you Demorol. A lot of hospitals want to give you morphine, and refuse to dispense Demorol.
continued...
kimchiman1000 2 years ago
I found that morphine would not even touch the pain of my kidney stones, but it only made me feel wose from nausea; Demorol, on the other hand, helped me a LOT. When I'm admitted, the first thing I tell them is "I'm ALLERGIC TO MORPHINE. I need DEMOROL". As soon as you're 'alergic' to morphine, they suddenly and magically have access to Demorol.
Re childbirth: One nurse told me she's had babies and stones, and that for her, the stones were FAR worse.
'Nuff said, bro!
kimchiman1000 2 years ago
Good idea. I'll say that I am allergic to Morphine.
gotta go the the Doctor tomorrow and see what's next. Apparently I have a "suitcase" full of them according to the ER Doc. Hope the lemon juice works cause blasting them with ultrasound has a 17% chance of resulting in diabetes. according to one study.
chickcoop 2 years ago
It's worth a try. Diabetes sucks. I wish I had never gotten overweight. If I had known it would lead to diabetes, I would have been more careful in the past.
kimchiman1000 2 years ago
more from prev. post...I've read that Calcium Oxalate stones can be controlled with diet, you have to not each high oxalate foods/drinks. Also read that vit. B6 and Mangesium is suppose to help ward off stone development. Thanks for the videos! Not sure if I want to try to drink to flush this thing or just wait for a week till Litroscopy shock treatment can be done. My fear is when passing one how do you know if it's just taking long time to pass or if it's stuck? Not looking forward to this!
SothnGal 2 years ago
I don't blame you for not looking forward to it. But a couple of dozen lemons, and make up some straight juice and drink it. Part of the juice gets converted into potassium citrate inside your body, and it goes to work to dissolve the stones FAST, if they're calcium oxylate based. Do a search for 'dissolving kidney stones' here on YouTube, and you'll find what you need to know about how to do it.
It's worth a try, my friend!
kimchiman1000 2 years ago
I've also got a vid about it at my 'bigalsinbox' channel, where I show what I did. I WON'T make any promise that it will help you, but it MIGHT, so it's worth a try, and might save you a whole world of pain just dead ahead, if you know what I mean. And if you don't know, then believe me, you don't WANT to know.
kimchiman1000 2 years ago
Currently dealing with a 4mm stone sitting at the top or entrance of the ureter tube. I think it's teeter tottering back and forth teasing about going down. Achy, tighness type pain in back and ribs comes and goes. Feel swollen, and at times like someone is tightening up the muscles around that area. Suppose to have it blasted w/ sonic waves (Litroscopy) next Friday. Today is Fri. have to wait a week. Machine only comes to hospital every other week. Getting quick electrical type pains too.

Having had 5 children, gall bladder stones ( have them in a vial! lol) and removal, i can safely say Kidney stones are the worst!
Ive had them blasted, lazered and peeed them out!...Had the sickness..the pain....and thought i was dying! The doctors said they are worse than being set on fire and being stabbed!!!!!
Myself...nothing helps because my body just loves making calcium and oxalate stones!!!!!!!
The only thing that will and does help is drinking lots of water :o(.......

Maybe look into 'lemon juice' and 'kidney stones' here on YouTube. You MIGHT find relief for them, though the jury's still out for me on that one.
kimchiman1000 3 years ago
There was a procedure that you sit in a hospital bathtub & the doctors set off small "concussion" bombs in the water, to break up these kidney stones. I'm surprised that your doctors did not suggest this method.

They have to be larger than the ones I had before they will consider doing it that way.
kimchiman1000 3 years ago
Wow. The pain must of hit you really hard back in '91 for you to fall out of the Excavator Cab not feel the ground.
I'm not feeling well either. I'm dealing with my usual coughing thing. I've had coughing problems since 4th grade and pnemonia 7th grade and I've been real sensitive to stuff that does anything to my lungs like laughing a lot which I hate cause I laugh a LOT.
I know thats way far from kidney stones but this is bad enough to effect my everyday life. Just though I'd share.
WillieWonka928D 3 years ago
Look for a product called 'Respiractin'. You might have to find a distributor from searching on the internet. Some health product stores, and a few pharmacies, stock the product. If you can afford to, then buy a LOT of the stuff, before they force it off the market.
It WORKS, and it doesn't taste bad, either. If you take it regularly, it will keep your lungs and bronchi clear and free of pneumonia and coughing, etc.
I know, I've been down that road.

kimchiman1000 3 years ago
Here's one to get you started, Willy:
healthmart2000 [d o t] c o m. Just do a search there for 'respiractin'
Note: It may take a few weeks before you notice any improvement from this product. That's because it's actually helping the affected tissue to heal, rather than just a drug, which never heals anything.
Good luck!
