Today, my doctor confirmed that the extreme pain I've been experiencing is due to a kidney stone. My friend decided this was the time to tell me that passing a kidney stone is the male equivalent of child birth. Hello even more pain. FML

Today, I passed my kidney stone. After thirteen hours of pain free joy, another one appeared. FML

Today, I was at my doctor's office. I thought I had a kidney stone. Turns out I'm pregnant and I have a kidney stone. FML

Today, I went to the hospital for wrenching pains in my abdomen. It turns out I have the largest "non removable" kidney stone my doctor has ever seen. It's the size of a fucking walnut. I have to pass the thing. FML

Today, I had the pleasure of having a kidney stones removal procedure where they hammer your kidneys to break up the stones. Afterwards, the doctor called my wife over the intercom to come to back to the waiting room. She freaks out, runs back, and the doctor says, “I just wanted to show this stone. Cool huh?" FML

Today, I was passing a kidney stone. I had to go to the ER but had no one to take me, so I drove myself. They made me wait 3 hours because it was suspicious that someone in "so much pain" could drive. It was the largest stone that doctor had seen in his career. FML

Today, my wife got her second kidney stone in a month. I gave her some pills to help with the pain. An hour later she started hallucinating, pulled down her pants and tried to pee on our couch. FML

Today, my girlfriend's "sheltered" 15-year-old niece is sharing our tiny home. Shortly after she arrived, I started to pass a kidney stone. I've had 3 hours of vomiting and cold-sweating while pissing acidic blood and a stone in absolute agony. The niece is "traumatized". FML

Today, I was told I have kidney stones, kidney infections, and a bladder infection and that I have to get admitted into the hospital. I let my boss know, and she replied, "But you're still coming in for your shift tonight, right?" FML

Damn, you must be in a pissy mood. Try and see if getting stoned will help alleviate your pain.

I'm a female who has had kidney stones, and it was excruciating. I couldn't even believe the amount of pain I experienced. The nurse at the hospital told me that she had kidney stones, and she'd given birth, and if she had to choose to do one over again, she would choose giving birth. I guess you cannot say that giving birth is worse unless you've experienced both. Either way, I feel bad for the OP. He has a rough time ahead of him!

You don't necessarily have to pass it though, you could always use ultrasound to break it down. Ask your doctor.

I am a female that has had 2 children and passed countless kidney stones and have had to have 1 surgically removed. I would in fact rather have another baby than another kidney stone.
