Kidney stones - ouch!! :-(
 

Woke up this morning feeling absolutely fine, 2 hours later and im at the docs begging for some pain relief. I thought it was appendicitis but no, kidney stones!!

I've had 3 kids but never experienced pain like it. Thankfully it subsided after lunch and ive just felt cr@p since then and terrified the pain was going to return, but it hasn't and hopefully never will.

It wouldn't be so bad but I started a new job 8 weeks ago and so far I've had to take time off for two lumbar punctures for a head condition which i'm now looking at needing shunt surgery for, and now this. Im not sure that im gonna get through my probation period with this record, I just hope hope i've done enough to prove myself willing and capable that they'll be understanding.

I know, i'm just wallowing in self pity and need to get a grip but why does life always seem to be one step forward and three back, its so damn frustrating!!!

Kidney stones - no fun.

It's been a few years since I've had any bother from them, but I remember well how much it hurts, I don't think I'll ever forget.
You have my sincere sympathy.

Ouch, you have my sympathy too. I had one a few years ago in the middle of nowhere in New Zealand. It's not an experience I'd wish on anybody (except perhaps daytime TV presenters)

Re: Kidney stones - ouch!! :-(
 

You have my utmost sympathy. In June of this year I had the last of 5 operations in 6 months for kidney stones. I've broken loads of bones, had a heart attack and a mild stroke, but none of it came close to the pain I felt on 27th December 2009, when I collapsed at home with kidney pain.

Hope it gets sorted soon
