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, 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 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 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, I found out I have to have an operation. This will be the third in 3 years, all for completely unrelated reasons. I'm only 26 and apparently my body is already falling apart at the seams. FML

Yup, cool
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 had a whole month off before I started my new job. On day six, I had to go to the ER because of a kidney stone and had to get a ureteral stent. In two weeks they will remove the stone, then another week until they remove the stent. I will be recovered just in time for my first day of work. 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

I eat extremely healthy and hate soda. I've had at least 17 kidney stones since Feb. of 2010. I'm going to be 20 next week.. Consider yourself lucky. Reflexology seems to help pass them with a little less pain. But DON'T drink cranberry juice when you have a stone.

Ugh, I feel your pain, OP. I've passed a couple myself, and we're the same age. My doc's still not sure why I got a second one, because I cleaned up my act food-and-drink-wise after the first one. Oh well. :-/

Yea, you people have no clue what you are talking about, I still have the same issues and had made all the diet changes. Some people are just genetically screwed.

I have a similar problem: 21 and can't count how many i've had on two hands. My body can't help but produce too much calcium because I'm allergic to lactose and there's no real fix. Check out "Uriflow" -- it breaks them up if you take it everyday, so you don't feel them. Herbal so there's no side affects.

Change your diet... I believe a bit less calcium an sodium may help

Back in May I passed my second kidney stone. I just had my 18th birthday a few weeks ago.
