I'm officially a mother (to a 6mm kidney stone)! First & hopefully my last one

Holy shit. I can’t even picture passing one that big!! I only passed my very first kidney stone a few weeks back and mine was just 2mm, but I felt like I was about to die 😫

Honestly, the actual passing part didn’t hurt! I never even felt it leave — all I heard was it landing in the toilet. The part that hurt bad was when it was moving through my ureter! And I’m still dealing with pain now

Same here! Actually passing it wasn’t bad, but the traveling part was the WORST!! And I was still hurting for close to a week after it passed— so best of luck to you!! 🥹

Thank you!! What was your pain like? Right now I’m getting waves & spasms - almost like how it felt at the very beginning!

Yep, you pretty much nailed it! It came in waves and I’d get a few intense spikes, but nothing like it moving through the ureter. Do you have a heating pad? That thing saved my life while I was going through this! Also, 500mg of acetaminophen worked wonders for me too!
