[QUOTE="Grateful, post: 1640747, member: 438800"] The doctor did not seem interested in the issue. I did tell him I had stopped taking them altogether after the second stone! The first one back in May was (briefly) the worst pain I can recall in my life. My wife drove me to A&E but by the time we had checked in there, the pain had gone away. I later found out that this was because the stone had been in the process of moving out of the kidney and into the ureter. The pain was even worse than breaking my hip playing tennis a dozen years ago, and that accident warranted full-throated screaming! The second stone was painful, but in a different way. The (sometimes dull, sometimes sharp) pain lasted several weeks, on and off, and at one point I did consider taking the prescription Oxycodone pills that were left over from the first episode. The strangest part was in the final week when the pain was very sharp and concentrated in the male you-know-what, making me think that the stone was stuck in [I]there[/I]. But the doctor has now explained to me that when a stone gets stuck in the bottom of the bladder, men can feel "referred pain" in the p***s even though the stone is actually still in the bladder. I thought this "referred pain" only happened with limbs like arms and legs, but now I know better! You can imagine that I am a bit concerned about the "1.1cm" stone that the analysts found on the ultrasound of my left kidney last week (but which the doctor says is a "false image"). If it actually exists, that is a big sucker that cannot be "passed" naturally and would presumably have to be zapped with ultrasound or laser. Looking at things on the bright side, my diabetes is a bit of a non-issue since it is totally reversed with the low-carb diet, and kidney stones are (at worst) just a really big nuisance (and I am hanging on to those Oxycodone tablets for the time being, just in case). As long as there is no actual kidney disease -- and so far, those tests are not showing anything worrying. [/QUOTE]
