Am I a world record holder?

I seriously thought that there was a 92% chance there would be a picture of a turd in a toilet when I clicked on this.

Saying that, I have no idea why I clicked on this.

Drink more water!! Maybe open you mouth at least while your inside your pee-less shower!
 
What are the contributors to building stones?
No matter what they say, you can find an example of someone with the extreme case of "it" and yet no stones while finding someone else that fully avoids "it" and still gets them.

Dehydration? I bet you have people that drink plenty of water and still get them while others drink nothing and don't.

Of course you can find aberrations, but that is like saying my grandma smoked her entire life and never got cancer so smoking is healthy.

Less water = greater chance of stones. More water = less chance of stones.

Nothing is absolute in medical forecasting

I did more than average amount of water, never soda without whiskey. No stones. Thats the ticket. Water and a few Jack and Pepsis per week!!
 
No it does not. Unless you are pissing acid, wtf does it matter. Plus I assume you shower with the water on- so like no big deal to piss in the shower imo.

Well maybe some of the pee soaks into the grout? Hard to imagine with all the water running, but like I said OCD.

I take Chanca Piedra ( aka stone breaker) about 2 weeks every 6 months.



I take that stuff every day since my first problem.

I was eating dark chocolate every day before my first stone. Now almost never. I hope that’s not for nothing. Is vodka and soda good? I can’t believe I don’t get enough of that.

Piss is lightly acidic. Ever go into an old bathroom and notice how the floor is more washed out and everything is more rusted/corroded by the urinals. They drag the same mops over the floor and use the same rags on the fixtures and dividers as they do on the rest of the bathroom. The difference is the piss.

I think it's irrelevant in a shower with water running but I get where he's coming from.

I have issues with peeing on my feet, unless I'm being attacked by a jelly fish in there i ain't doing it.( does that even work ??)

Aim at the drain?
Aside from that, if I get athlete's foot, I pee on my feet on purpose.
 
Karma is a bitch. This is what I get for my humble brag about how easy my last few stones have been.

Things went south about 9 this morning. Woke up not feeling right. By 9 I knew what was going on.

I keep Flowmax on hand. Took some of that. Started downing lemonade and water. Took half of a Percocet, and puked it all up about 20 minutes later. That was a major issue throughout the day. As much as I tried to drink fluids I couldn't keep any of them in me. Between the cold sweats and puking I was quite dehydrated.

Finally went to the ER at about 3:30 this afternoon. I was so dehydrated I look like a pin cushion from them trying to find a vein.

Got fluids in me. Some nausea, meds and Toradol. Good lord do I love Toradol! If I ever meet who invented that I am definitely shaking their hand and buying them a drink.

I did a CT scan while I was there. I'm having twins. I've got a 4 mm and a 6 mm. They're almost at the finish line.

Spent 6 Plus hours in the ER today most of that time in the waiting room. Can't wait to see what communicable disease I have now.
 
I’ve been having some peeing problems. I was in the shower and had to pee. I don’t like peeing in the shower, so I held it. I couldn’t hold it any more and let loose. I hurt for a second and then felt fine.

I found this in the shower. My wife says it’s crazy big for a kidney stone. She was a nurse.

Biggest kidney stone I ever personally saw via a CAT scan of my patient was the kidney itself.

One of her kidneys had it's entire cavity calcified into three sections.:eek:

How does that even happen? You would think there would be signs something was wrong long before it got to that point.

Huh. Calcified, you say?

My cardiologist has me taking vitamin K2, as it helps prevent calcification of soft (arterial) tissues, and send calcium to bones where it belongs.

I wonder if it does anything for kidneys?
 
No it does not. Unless you are pissing acid, wtf does it matter. Plus I assume you shower with the water on- so like no big deal to piss in the shower imo.
Holy shit man....the cinder block it looks like he's pissing out will crack/chip the damned tile when it hits. :flipoff2:

You bring up a good point:
A person doesn't know they have stone(s) until it tries to pass.
A stone could 6 months/1 year/3+ years old; it's not until it tries to pass that the person discovers they have it.

WaterH stone could be 5 years old for all he knows.
Because of it's size; I wouldn't doubt if he celebrated several Christmas' with it.

BTW; kidneys don't have nerves.
The incredible pain comes from back pressure the stone causes when it attempts to pass.
 
Fuck, well it's my turn. INSANE pain 2 days ago in the lower right back. It would come and go, I would be in excruciating pain for an hour, then feel fine. That happened 3 times. I thought I needed to go to a chiropractor for hurting my back or something.

Then yesterday at 8pm the pain comes back but MUCH worse. It was so bad I couldnt stop puking. I am rolled up in a ball on the floor type pain.

The pain was going from my lower right back towards the front. I thought I had appendix issues....so I went to the ER. The nurse checking me in said 0-10 what is your pain? 0 being no pain and 10 being the worst pain you felt in your life. I said this is the worst pain I have ever felt in my life but I will never say 10 because it can always be worse, like what if my leg was cut off, and I am not a bitch to say 10. She paused and said this is the most realistic pain scale calculation I have ever seen. I assume she gets 10's all the time because some pussy broke his pinky.

So they take me back, get a urine sample. Sure enough they found microspcopic sized amounts of blood saying its a kidney stone. Do a CAT Scan and say I have 1 3mm sized stone that is at the end of the ureter about to go in the bladder.

Some say that is the worst part? Is it worse than actually passing it out to the world? That back pain was gnarly. Way worse than eating shit off a bike jump and making half my face raw and need stitches on my face years ago.

I am pist because I am healthy, not overweight, dont drink coffee, soda, or energy drinks. Dont add salt to my meals. I drink a shit load of water. No family history of kidney stones....so WTF.

I think mine was because I was eating a lot of dark chocolate. I’ve cut that to almost nothing. I have been taking “Stone Breaker” ever since. (My wife gets it on line)

Been there, i was told it was my high levels of protein I ate :laughing:

I keeled over on the floor while working one day. Was set to go have them broke up with ultrasound, but ended up pissing the damn thing out. :barf:
 
Had two back in April 1.4cm had to have them broken up via laser.

Pissed blood for 2 weeks.

Once it hits the bladder all the plumbing from there on out it much larger. Kidney to the Bladder just plain sucks.

I have passed a 4mm but a 7mm got stuck. Got infected, had to have it surgially removed. Had a catheter from the kidney into the bladder for about 10 days. Its weird pissing with a string hanging out of your dick.

You'll probably feel that little 3mm when it comes out, but once it's in your bladder the worst is over.

I had that 6mm one stuck in my urethra for about a week. Pain wasn't anywhere near as bad as when it was in my ureter, but it was unpleasant to pee, and made me feel like I needed to pee all the time.

I've passed another ~4.5mm one since then, had me on the couch for a day, but was a walk in the park compared to that 6mm monster.

Calcium Oxalate is the most common stone, still worth having it analyzed to find out what it is and maybe why you've had a stone.
 
I heard foods high in oxalic acid are thought to contribute to kidney stones. I was on a spinach kick for a month or so, then I pissed out a little black stone. Haven't eaten spinach since.
Foods high in oxalic acid (source: internets):
  • Spinach
  • Rhubarb
  • Almonds and cashews
  • Miso soup
  • Grits
  • Baked potatoes with skin
  • Beets
  • Cocoa powder
  • Okra
  • Bran cereals and shredded wheat cereals
  • French fries
  • Raspberries
  • Stevia sweeteners
  • Sweet potatoes
 
Glad this thread popped up. Had a weird pain in the pee hole and sudden have to pee feelings but nothing there. Been going for 2 weeks or so. Regular doc says no infection, gave me a script for antibiotics anyway. Maybe it's a rock stuck in teh dick? I've got to go back to the uro guy and get it checked I guess.

Fawk all that noise. My diet consists of proteins (egg, meat, nuts etc), sweet potatoe, dark chocolate and coffee. Not looking forward to any of this as it sounds like fate and knowing my uncles that have gone through it.

Wish it goes fast for all you fawkers, sounds absolutely terrible.
