Glad we could help😊 I guess the couple of beers I had last night served you well!
Having been "stoned" several times, even had a couple blasted, I know this is no laughing matter.

I know your pain. Last spring I was in the hospital with one said to be 5mm. They don't use beer in the states, so I had to settle for morphine. Eventually they sent me home with hydrocodone and said if the severe pain comes back to come back for surgery. My wife remembered an old remedy and poured me a glass of apple vinegar. After three days of peeing in a cup and straining it through a mesh filter, I went back for another x-ray. The stone was gone. Apparently the vinegar dissolved the stone. I now pour vinegar on my breakfast potatoes, and make sure I always have an extra pickle with every bloody mary. A small price to pay not to get another stone.

I know your pain! In my life time I've had a litany of surgeries, from three total joint replacements, corporal tunneling to cancer.
The pain from all those procedures pale in severity to that which I suffered from passing one kidney stone!

I haven't yet had one but understand they are terrible. Kidney stone is one thing, is there such a thing as a bladder stone? Do you get any pre-warning signs, like restricted pee flow, like dribbling instead of streaming.

In hindsight there are all kinds of warnings in some cases.
Dribbling, urgency, frequency, blood, lower back pain, 3AM pee runs.
In other cases, no warning till the axe falls.
If you are fortunate enough to get a warning; go see your doc.
Your tallywacker will thank you.

I was prescribed Alopurinol to prevent kidney stones. Found it worked very well for preventing gout.

Had kidney stones a number of years ago. Talk about pain. I don't want to ever go through that again. I will leave my home right now, call a friend, and head for a cozy bar. This will be to honor you.

Eat loads and loads of fresh parsley - a natural diuretic (so long as Mr Monsanto hasn't got o it first!) Works wonders - guaranteed..

My husband had a huge kidney stone and they performed Lithotripsy. Nothing happened. The doc said it cracked the stone, but didn't break it up. Within a couple of weeks he passed the stones (it finally broke up) and he hasn't had a problem since. I knew he had to be in excruciating pain because we had to leave a black tie event with a delicious meal. He has never missed a meal in his life!

Seriously, you have more than one problem and it seems all you really need is some mental floss. Thanks for sharing your SHIrT

Sounds like a dry alcoholic sitting on his pity pottie pooping and needs to go back to AA meetings. I was under the impression that this is a photographic forum web site.
