I found out kidney stones are very painful to pass

[Dia bando]

my sympathies, hang in there, that is some painful shit, unbelievable man. Jesus. What contributes to the formation of kidney stones? Too much calcium?

Yes, Doc says the most common and most likely are Calcium stones; and there is lots of things we consume to increase the probability of getting the stones, including being overweight but there are also, Struvite stones from intestinal infections , Uric acid stones people who don't drink enough fluid and/or too much protein and sweat too much; Cystine stones are hereditary. You are suppose to catch the stone when you piss it out and give it to the lab and then you'll know if it's a matter of life style adjustment or your doomed to many more stones in the future. Sometimes they are already piled up wait to pass through. If that's the case, Shock Wave Lithotripsy breaks them down into smaller pieces which is better than the knife but it can be very expensive. I've read $10k-$20k US and at those prices, if the cost is out of pocket, it might be worth a trip to South East Asia or India.

I no your pain mate I had them when I hit forty, I spent 10 days in hospital they were stuck in my
tube between my kidney and bladder , they tried to put a stent in a very large needle in my back
into my kidney, they failed fucking about for a hour or so.
So they went up the penis, removed the stones, and put in a stent about 3 weeks later they removed
the stent a month later I had Lithotripsy and pissed the stones out a few day's later.
Kidney stones are FUCKING TERRIBLE.
