Isn't the stone a calcium build up and dehydration??

Maybe the milk??

[bdsams Veteran]

did you car get tow due to your parking?

no, thankfully! Oncee i got into hospital i gave the nurse my keys and she had security move my car....

when i say gave her my keys... i literally dropped them on the ground and mumbled my car needs to be moved

[sin-ergy]

Damn I never hope I get kidney stones. Ugh. Isn't there a procedure where they use lasers to break up the stone? You still gotta pass it though :/

Well, glad you're ok. :doctor:

[Jimmy0]

Something very similar happened to me yesterday...

I was with my friend.. an unstable one, to say the least. I go in to Popeye's to get some food. Come back... has a needle in her arm and is unresponsive. After freaking out for a minute and not successfully waking her up. I decide to drive to the hospital. I figured I could get their faster than the cops could get to me... so I turned on my emergency blinkers and speed through about 20 red lights on a major road in Baltimore County... It was one of the scariest things I've ever been through..

Ive seen cops here escorting cars in emergencies!

yes, but thats a last resort...and to get to the stone they go threw your pee hole :o

[HawkMan]

ummm they also have non intusive ultrasound devices that can break up the stones from the outside.

but I'm not sure it can be used on all kinds of stones or something.

[alsheron]

The things people will make up to excuse themselves for either being late for or not turning up to an interview! :p

[Luis.A]

What happened with the interview?

[Pretend]

my stone was 6mm...seems small...but it comes down a very small tube and out a very small hole1 :cry:

What happened with the interview?

The actually called me today to see how i was doing..the interview was/is with Wells Fargo, I am calling them on wed to rescheudle the interview

[Shof]

how small was the hole?

[Spyder Veteran]

i had a kidney stone a few months back. i learned that the pain occurs while the stone travels thru the narrow tube between your kidney and your bladder, and not what I originally thought (passing from your bladder to the outside world)

painful thing without a doubt
