i spent the night at the hospital because of kidney stones. The pain of my life!! i wanted to die last night and they had me there for about 2 hrs waiting in major pain until they finally injected me with pain killers. I had this problem 2 years ago but last time the stone was less than 1 mm. this time the stone is 4.5mm! The pain was way worse this time around. Doctors are hoping i can pass the stone. If not i'll have to go back and have it taken out because my kidney was very swollen. So I'm taking a narcotic to help ease the pain and drinking plenty of fluids hoping i can pass this today. last time it took a week to pass the stone. I hope no one here ever goes through this. They say that passing a stone is as bad as giving birth.
