Passed this guy the other day.

This is number 13 for me. I have a stone once every 6-8 months.
For some reason, this was the easiest stone I’ve ever passed. Usually they have me in the hospital, begging for a dilaudid IV and my mommy. Or at least incapacitated at the house.
This one was just some mild discomfort and a small bit of hematuria.
I’d say I got lucky. I wonder why though. The shape maybe?

I’ve also passed many and just had surgery because one was stuck in urethra and same I’ve had some that caused a lot of pain but yet this biggest one I just past that got stuck I didn’t feel one bit coming down my pp, I felt the discomfort and pain from it moving from ureter to bladder but after that I didn’t even notice it. I wonder if because they are long and narrow they come down smoother ? At the same time I think our body’s are just getting used to passing them 😂😂
I have to imagine with enough scar tissue build up from them scraping and scratching their way down we have to build up some level of pain tolerance right?
Facing a kidney stone right now?
