That, potassium citrate a banana and a can of coke every other day or so helps. I had a 5mm and a 3.5mm at the same time 2 October's back. Doc gave me fluids and a lot of pain killers until I passed it a week later. Ever since then I've adjusted my diet a bit and haven't had an issue since. But everytime my lower back hurts I have a mild bout of panic praying it isn't another stone

Got a call from the patient advocate today from the regional office because mine won't be back in town until next week. She's processing my doctor swap, so that's nice.

Maybe. The majority of people develop them because of lovely diets/drinking habits or medication (no idea which meds because I had no idea meds could until a doc told me some could). However there is a suspected hereditary risk. Not sure what the studies are saying now but at one time they believed there was. There is some fruit/veggie concoction that helps with flushing the entire urinary tract you can make on a Daily basis. But it tastes horrible and apparently makes you piss neon green lava every morning. Basically just go down to the local church, get saved, and pray you don't get them. That's the best course of prevention.

The pissing out of the stone sucks, but really it isn't nearly as bad as the movement of the stone in the kidney and ureter that sucks more than any other experience. By the time time you're pissing it out, you should on on good pain killers anyway

To make this hit home with GiP, here's a bladder stone my sister in law removed from a 3 year old, 9 pound Terrier last year  The stone was so large the bladder had some tissue tearing before they got in. The kidney function had almost stopped entirely by that point. The dog is still alive and doing very well these days I'm told

Doesn't ibuprofen filter through the kidneys? How many of us lived on an 800mg 3x/day diet of motrin for seemingly endless stretches of time? Because I haven't had stones since I was at an abusive level of motrin.

LITERALLY SHAKING posted:Doesn't ibuprofen filter through the kidneys? Everything passes through the Kidneys but unlike most meds, Ibuprofen is metabolized by the Kidneys and not the liver. Which isn't a big deal for Kidney Stones, but if you had high end renal failure then I'd advise you not to take Ibuprofen. large amounts of ibuprofen/motrin or whatever the gently caress NSAID you take will gently caress your gut up/cause G.I bleeding before it destroys your kidneys, unless you have underlying kidney conditions already *kidney stones don't count*
