My sincere thoughts go out to you guys, I have been fortunate enough not to have had the experience. [ fingers crossed ]
However i do have a very good long time friend, he is a gentle giant, and is a 6th dan black belt in karate, Has one of the best abilities to handle pain that i have ever seen, AND YET ?? when i seen him go through the pain of 3 days before he passed the stone, listening to those blood curdling screams coming from the bathroom, I thought this is one health problem i hope i never ever get, [ fingers crossed again ]

We were all set to move off from here (Atherton NQ) this morning but instead at 5am I had to rush my chauffeur to the hospital. He was in agony. Diagnosis is a kidney stone. He's staying there over night. See what tomorrow brings.

A kidney stone is the only thing I have seen floor my husband, he was rolling on the floor in agony.........took him to hospital and nurse said straight away what it was, she had seen it many times before,unfortunately she made the mistake of saying it in front of Doctor......he said oh no definately a bout of gastro and sent him home with a script for antibiotics, luckily he passed it when home.

I had the same thing happen last September while at the Lake Nagambie CV Park Vic. I was on my own and I was fine the first night there but was woken by pain that progressed rapidly to the point where I rang an ambulance, they arrived and raced me to the Shepparton Hospital and I spent the next 24 hours there on Morphine. When they let me go I had to get a taxi back to the CV park $120.00 (taxi cost) later I arrived back and no problems since.
The pain was indescribable.

Hope he recovers quickly, have heard they are very painful. At least you
were close to a hospital and Atherton is a lovely place to be recouping.

If it's anything like the pain of Gallstones, I can totally empathise with him.
Hope he passes it soon and you're on your way again.

Kidney stones are the worst pain by far known to man (and woman).
On our 'big trip round' in 2007 I had my first episode with one at Daintree and also rang an ambulance to meet us as we drove toward Mossman. The pain was terrible. After a couple hours on morphine the pain subsided.
It wasn't until we got to Broome, after a couple more painful episodes that the problem was diagnosed and confirmed with a Cat-scan.
It wasn't until we got back to Bunbury that it could be removed. Thankfully I was out to it when that happened as it was removed by the same path it could have passed naturally.
I am convinced the pain is worse than childbirth because you often hear a woman say she'd like another baby but you never hear a man say he wouldn't mind another kidney stone do you?

They reckon its like labour pain. The thing with labour is that the process releases endorphines but renal colic does not.
Would need some one who has had a baby AND a kidney stone to make the comparision.
Also- you get to keep a cute baby who smiles at you, but no one wants to keep a kidney stone that just sits there!

Well, I have had all, 3 babies, gall stones and a suspected kidney stone which left me rolling around the A&E of Bundaberg Hosp in the middle of the night. The next morning they were still unsure what it was but I was ok to go after a night in a hosp bed on heavy pain killers. I wouldn't want to try any of them again thank you very much. One was as bad as the other.

Regardless of which one, they all got stuck in there and had to come out!!

At least they CAN blow up a kidney or gall stone if necessary.

With our fourth baby, I had a kidney infection - I was overdue by then but I knew I didn't want to experience both kidney infection and labour at the same time!
