Had them in November. Truly awful pain and you have my sympathy. You need to drink lots of water. Depending on the size they might pass themselves. I had to have a stent and the stones "basketed" (basically fished out) but they will normally laser them if there's no infection.

I'd get to A&E and get a scan done and some cocodamol and ibuprofen asap. If you leave it too long the stone could block the ureter and bacteria can build up behind it.

I would reccomend Fyingbolt or happy claret failing that cutsy!

Had them during Euro 2016. Was in serious pain down the left side of my back and I mean serious pain so the moosus called for an ambulance and went to A&E. Straight through to triage were was given morphine, which didn't touch the pain, so Kell had to stick a pain killer tablet up my backside hehe. Urine sample which showed up stones and the extra delight of a kidney infection so was taken to a ward and stuck on a drip for nearly a week. No tips, you'll just know with the pain!!

Funny you should mention the Elgin Marbles. I passed my first kidney stone on Culloden Moor almost 20 years ago. Two days earlier the hospital in Elgin had Administered morphine. Excruciating pain. I’d been scratching the walls of our log cabin. Since then I’ve been treated for gout and high blood pressure. Obviously connected to kidney issues. However, I’ve only had one attack since...during a Wishbone Ash gig in Bolton a couple of years later. You have my sympathy lad.

Thankfully dont think ive had it as bad as many of the above, it feels like its eased off a little today. docs in a bit for a prescripton to loosen things up hopefully, and more codeine if needed. Can't really take any time off

Cheers all

The Diarist Samuel Pepys had a stone removed surgically. He noted that it was the size of a tennis ball(Restoration Times’ tennis balls were much smaller - about the size of a moser squash ball). It took him a month to recover from the surgery.

I had kidney stones many years ago I had a ultrasonic bombardment at Bury General then I pi***d glass for a while but it worked.

I ordered some Chanca Piedra and the pain went after about a week. Maybe this was just a coincidence, anyway, whatever it was, I'm grateful that the pain went away and hasn't come back. Touch wood.
