Me neither, although I've heard it described as the most unbearable, undescribable pain on the planet.

You have my complete sympathies, dragon. You are one brave lady.

thanks! really the most painful part for me was when i dislodged in my kidney and was trying to make its way down. you get pain in your back off to one side and you can't move to be comfortable.

however, i have heard labor is much worse...hats off to moms...

and thanks noddy!

i know i have been complaining alot recently (on other threads)...but i have to say, my freaking left kidney hurts so badly today i don't know what to do. i know i have at a minimum three stones embedded in there, maybe one decided to make its move today. it just hurts. i should go home, but what would it do, i would just take pain meds and lay there.

sorry, i just need some support right now Sad i am such a dork...

Oh, dragon, I'm sorry. Even getting home seems hard to do to me. What has your doctor said to do when you've had this before?

Quiet hugs in the meantime...

drink lots of water with lemon juice in it, take pain meds for the pain, and strain my pee (isn't that a lovely thought) to catch the stone and take it to him. problem is, it isn't the normal pain. i usually feel like someone is stabbing me in the kidney and twisting the knife, but this time is it a duller pain, yet very strong, does that make sense?

i probably should call my doc. here's the other kicker, it started last night in bed. mr.d went to give me a hug and his arm was against my left side, and it shot pain through me like nobody's business, been hurting ever since.

thanks for the hugs Smile
