I had a small kidney stone on Sunday, 2mm. I usually pride myself on my stoicism, but I don't think I have experienced pain like that often in my life. my kidney, colon, and penis we're all hurting. Each wave has me flinching and moaning. Even saying I had a small one and was in so much pain makes me embarrassed though. So when kidney stones hurt they really hurt right?

They really hurt, some kind of razor slicing your ureter when it's moving, had 12mm before, i was nearly passed out cause of the pain, throw up 2 times in ER, doctor had to gave me some kind of morphine to stop pain.

They really hurt. I've had 5 now. This last one had me in the ER because it got stuck in my ureter and caused a blockage. I have been able to soldier through it before but not this time. It's been over a month and I'm still healing. All of us are troopers in one of the worst clubs out there.

I have had 5.. different women tell me it hurt more than when they gave birth. So, yeah they hurt. Of all of mine the most recent was by far the worst... They all sucked but that fucker was something else...
