OMG-2 KIDNEY STONES!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOWIE KP is right!!!!!!!!!!! About 725pm last night, I PASSED ANOTHER STINKING KIDNEY STONE..........SMALLER THAN THE FIRST ONE BUT STILL --------THAT MEANS I HAD 2 STONES!!!!!!!! no wonder it hurt like .............uh..........I can't say those kinds of words here. It hurt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SW

sorry you're going through this. My dh has reaccuring stones, it is absolutely horrible!!! I hope that two is all you had moving around!! Laurie

Laurie, I hope so too. I tell you- this was far more painful than anything I've ever experienced since I had my hysterectomy in 1991, and had to return to the ER after muscles were moving around in my abdomen "repositioning themselves" and caused intense pain. SW

I am so glad that you got rid of those aweful things. Remember to drink lots of water and hopefully that will be that last you ever see of them. Take care, Fran

Thanks Fran.......... I drank about a gallon of water yesterday and continue to gorge myself with fluids not only for that fact (get rid of those nasty little stones) but to make sure I'm getting in my fluids period! I wonder if that might have contributed to it? Thanks!

I'm sure drinking so much helped in getting rid of the stone. When I had mine they were caused from protein. Sometimes they are a calcium build up. So when I had WLS I was so worried with all the protein we consume that I would get them again. But, I was told that as long as I keep my kidney well flushed with fluid it shouldn't be a probelm and so far they were right. Take care, Fran

I talked to a lady here today at work, she said the Urologist told her to take 500mg of Magnesium Citrate? to help avoid the stones period. Have you ever heard of that Fran? Thanks for your replies! Email me anytime!

I haven't heard of that but I guess it would depend on what you stones were made up of. I know this sounds gross but did you save one? When you go to the doctor take it with you they can test it and tell you what it is made up of. Since mine were caused by protein I was put on a prescription medication that reduced uric acid. So I wonder if what she told you to take works on calcium stone. Take care, Fran

OMG! I hope I don't have a second one! Mine just passed today (57 hours of pain). It wasn't small either! About hmm, what can I think of that is small. Half the size of a pea maybe? I caught it thank goodness and will take it into the doctors office to be tested. Hope you are feeling better! Michelle

Hey I not only save them both, but I took photos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How gross is that? You can't tell what they are really in the pics, just wanted it for.....posterity? Or something like that ahahahahahahahaha SW
