I've been in severe pain and throwing up most of the day so I went to the ER. My urine sample was almost entirely blood and a CT scan found that I have an 8mm kidney stone!!! Yikes!!!

I've had kidney stones 6 times previously, but never one this large. I will need surgery to have it removed, so they will probably admit me to the hospital for the night to control the pain/nausea and then schedule surgery for tomorrow morning.

Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers.

Actually, the Urologist is coming for me right now and taking me straight into surgery.....

Good luck. I hope you feel better soon.

so sorry this happened to you! I had my first kidney stone experience - it was 6mm but theoreticlly narrow enough to pass. It never did, and so after a pretty dang long time i had that day surgery "procedure" where they blast it and put a stent in. They threatened to admit me due to the out of control pain but I wanted to go home - it really is THAT bad though. It has been hellish and I am only now feeling like I am returning to normal (stent removed Monday!). I am so sorry you are going through this - it is way more painful and life disrupting than I ever fathomed it could be....

Hang in there!

Wow -- it feels like a kidney stone epidemic around here.

Good luck to you, young man.

I hope your urologist saves and analyzes the stone -- to see what's causing the problem and what (if anything) you need to change in your diet.

Good luck I hope the surgery solves your problem. Sounds very painful and I bet you will be glad to have it gone.

Praying for you...

Praying for a quick and low pain recovery! Veterans is there any link between weight loss surgery and kidney stones? A long time ago a friend lost a bunch of weight on Atkins and his doctor said his Atkins diet caused his kidney stones. We eat high protein after surgery so I am wondering if there is connection? Or maybe calcium supplements?

My motto is "Go big or go home", but not like this!!! Hugs and prayers.

Thanks everyone. Out of surgery and in recovery. Being admitted to the hospital for monitoring.

Glad hard part is over! Prayers for an easy recovery!

Good luck. I hope you feel better soon.

Thank you all so much for your kindness. It means so much to me!!!

And lots of blood in urine.

Hope you feel better soon. Kidney stones are no joke. I would rather give birth than have a kidney stone. They are so painful.
