Hi,
Just wanted to share my experience why I am learning from all of yours.
Monday I almost passed out driving to work, I was 5 minutes from my house when I had to pull over. Woke up that morning with slight back discomfort, thought was from working on my vehicle. I had some slightly discolored urine(thought it was something I ate) and discomfort in my kidney area a couple of times but thought it was from holding my urine when sleeping. It turns out to be a kidney stone.
From what I have learned so far that monday I was passing a stone from the kidney to the bladder.That is where most of the pain comes from,the small muscle spasms.It was so bad I was moaning and screaming till they shot me up with needle. as soon as needle wore off I was moaning and screaming again. After being in the ER all day and night and about 4 needles, the pain stopped coming back. I thought I strained something in my urine that looked like 2 Knats (little bugs). The nurse threw it out by accident I think. After an xray the doctor told me I have a 5-6 mm stone in my right kidney. I beleive a smaller one passed which is what caused all that pain all of a sudden. to be continued....
