It was definitely worse pain than childbirth.<br />Mine was blasted out with lazers. It too, was too big to pass naturally.<br />I asked a few times how to avoid ever getting that again, and was told there is no "cure", they just come as they please.<br />I feel your pain for sure.<br />I hope the drugs at least help a little until you get them sorted out.<br />You sure are in some pretty country down there though. And the nice thing is that you don't have to take time off work or go back to work being sick!<br /><br />CheersKaryn-Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441864113888457036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-50402487522745625362011-12-15T23:15:42.395-05:002011-12-15T23:15:42.395-05:00Al, I am so sorry to hear about your kidney stones...Al, I am so sorry to hear about your kidney stones, ouch!

My first stone was in 1974, pregnant with 3rd child, and they couldn't to ANYTHING till she was born. At that time they didn't have such a thing as Lithotrypsy, and they opened up my back cause the stone was grown into my left kidney. I was in the hospital 3 weeks and missed my brother's wedding. The "litho" is outpatient stuff...Take the drugs if need be and keep us all informed.
