Yes, and it was the worst pain i've had in my entire life. I've been to the ER 3 times in the past with kidney stones. And the bad thing is, I haven't passed it yet. So it can hit me again soon. I wish you good luck with yours.

I had the first one EVER in my life about 3 weeks ago. It only lasted a day and it quickly dissolved on it's own but not before causing me the worst pain I've ever felt in my life. I was given vicodin and even that didn't take the pain away...didn't even take the edge off.
I was yelling; "forget the useless pain killers...numb me up! Give me an epidural!" I figured if it blocks the pain for women in labor...
Yeah, apparently that's not an option for a kidney stone ;)

The only thing that helped me in any way - was walking. As soon as I'd stop or lay down the pain would become unbearable but walking helped to ease it up a little.

I hope you start feeling better soon!

Yes, the pain is unbelievable. Drink cranberry juice it's supposed to help prevent them from coming back.

my dad used to get kidney stones a couple of years ago & he was always in pain. it was so hard to see him be in pain, yet there was nothing we could do.

i'm sorry you have kidney stones & i hope the pain is not too bad. feel better!
