Worst pain I have ever endured

[ZeroClub]

I'm a vet at this. Have had 4 of those things. Passed 3. One had to be "taken" out.

Fun times.

Not!

You literally think you are dying and if you aren't dying, you think it may be a better option.

Do you drink a lot of tea? I've heard that tea can contribute to the formation of kidney stones. I don't know if it is true.

I haven't heard that tea causes kidney stones. I have always heard that if you drink a lot of milk you will get them, though.

You must have never had a kidney stone. That is the worst ankle sprain multiplied by 100.

I've had 1. I thought I was going to pass out. Just pain shooting straight through your body. I started a trip to the emergency room and by the time I got there, I guess it had lodged itself again and I was fine.

I've also thrown my back out a couple of times. It feels like you've been shot. No position is comfortable and you can't relax and breathing hurts. Weeee.

I used to. But it's specifically tea.

It's large amounts of Caffeine. I used to be on the raod all the time. Airport to airport and all I did was drink Cokes and Mt. Dew. It had loads of caffeine. So when they first looked at the stone they told me what it was. I haven't touched caffeine in 15 years.

Also, the Dr. told me that most anything that is caramel colored is a problem. Don't know why particularly but that's what he said.

Large amounts of calcium rich foods, Milk, cheese, ice cream (dairy products in general) can do it as well but the Dr. said that if you get the stones from one source it's unlikely you will get it from the other.

Again, not sure why but that's what I've been told. And frankly, if they would have told me that air caused these things, I would have quit breathing. Worst pain I have ever had, and I locked my finger in the door of a '72 Dodge Charger. That's another story.

I have heard areas, like mine, that have large amounts of calcium in the water can be bad for kidney stones as well.

I passed one about a year ago.

Started out having to use the bathroom a few times but was having trouble peeing. Strong urge but minimal output with interrupted flow.

I thought man I am too young to have to start taking flomax and have prostrate problems. (Something my Father in Law complains about all the time, we give him heck when playing cards as he gets up to go to the bathroom and we say...we'll deal you out for 30 minutes while you pee :laugh1: )

So after going through this a few times I go to pee and it was like a cork had been popped as I could go again with normal flow but it burned like hell and later had other problems. Man it burned...like someone dipped a catheter in tobassco sauce and salt then inserted it. :laugh1:

I did not know what the heck was going on. I was lucky enough that it must have been a relatively small stone.

I just know It burned like heck and I had a day or two of slight bleeding. After that I was fine.

And yes I know it was not an STD.:laugh1:

But recently I thought maybe I had another, this time in my kidneys. Before I had no advanced pain until I passed it. This time I would get sharp stabbing pains in one section of my back that was where the kidney was on the right side.

Turns out it must have been a muscle strain or something in my back.

So It sucked passing the stone but all things considered I am either very lucky.

Had no problems except for flow prior to it so I am thankful and I healed up rather quickly and the pain did not last long at all.

The worst I ever felt, not pain wise but just felt, was getting dysentery during a month long field exercise in Korea.

There was quite a few people that got it and man that was rough.

That was when I was hardcore military I guess. Where I would try to tough anything out instead of getting treated.

After a few days of it my SGT ordered me to go get treatment so I went.

I sleep 2 1/2- 3 days and did not leave the cot even to use the bathroom...I was that dehydrated because I was a dumbarse who tried to tough it out.

Thank you. You just gave me the motivation, and reasons, I needed to stay off of cokes, candy, and ice cream when my diet and working out, once more, starts again in serious fashion on January 1st.

In fact I might quit drinking the sodas and eating any candy at this minute. I have never had Stones but I dang sure don't want to be able to say I know how anyone whose had them feels.

The worst pain I have ever had was after being made a mod then we signed TO. :laugh1:

The actual worst pain I have ever had was after having my gall bladder removed and finding out the hard way anesthia(sp) makes me sick. It's pretty miserable throwing up after having abdominal surgery.

Was it really that bad after we signed TO? I bet some of those threads were hilarious.

It was a total zoo. We actually had to create a TO zone for just those threads.

I get a brain freeze when I eat something cold.

Same here. Very painful, but more annoying then anything else.

I felt a terrible pain when you were made a mod too. Strange.

I can make it worse :laugh1:

Had it when I was 9 yrs. old and in the 3rd grade. That was horrible. Glad I don't have to go through that again.

Finally broke down and went to the doctor today.

Turns out my left foot(original injury) is broken. My right inflamed ankle is a direct result of putting too much pressure on it trying to compensate for the pain of my broken foot.

I can't believe I've been walking around on a broken foot for just under two weeks.

Vicodin(sp) is a godsend.

Thanks for all the suggestions, and especially to 5stars, for suggeting the doctor would do the trick. I haven't been to a doctor for 8 years, thats how stubborn I am. He said I have a really high pain threshhold, which was nice to hear, lol.

Wow, had I known the obvious would have helped, I would have suggested you see a doctor as well.
