Buy some "Dr de Wits nier en blaas pille" (spelling?) From your local pharmacy (no script needed). Drink them with lots of water throughout the day. They flush your kidneys. I do it once or twice a year as a preventative measure. The best thing is, they turn your urine blue (first green). Awesome party trick if you want to bet someone in the bar that you will pee blue after drinking a shot of zambuka (spelling?)

A week ago got a nasty pain at work. Went to the doc (First time in 2 years) and she said appendix. Off we go to the hospital for prompt removal. Turns out after a scan or two that it was a nice 8mm stone. Needless to say they had to take the bugger out surgically. Nice big baby! R30k later for one night in hospital. I am bleeding so much my wife offered me a tampon this morning...... :wacko:. Moral of the story. Try to pass it on your own. Surgically removing it hurts 50 GAZILLIAN times more!

Hell, I feel sorry for you guys that get "Them Stones" on a regular basis. I had the problem only once before and thought that I was going to die - was so painfull. I remember lying on the grass outside the doctor's surgery crying before he came outside and gave me a painkiller.

Many years ago a top comrades runner told me about his incident with kidney stones and ever since then EVERY time i forget to drink as sometimes happens during the day, i think back to him preaching about the importance of drinking plenty water when you do endurance sports

I passed kidney stones when I went on a beer diet a view years back, seriously painful.

The doctor said that lemon juice squeezed into hot water as a beverage will eat the stones away. It has something to do with the acid in the lemon that devolves the crystals.

Why do you want me to email you ?

Lemon juice yes and strangely enough, Coca Cola. 

But only over time.  If you have them and they are big, there is no quick fix except medical attention.

Sorry Fandacious.

Only seeing the post now......

 

Yes....what I also thought.

 

I think with (after a decent scan) 5 stones waiting in the kidney to come out they wanted to take it out and test the compound.  That is what I thought.........

Turned out that it was a "normal" calcium stone.  Not enough water.

Seems the little bastard formed when I did a bit of overkill on stage 1 of the Clover tour...........

 

To add to the horror story......can't see that I posted it here......

After "they" (more evil than my mother in law) remove the stone, they have to put, what they call, a stent in.  This is a 5mm little pipe thingy that goes from the front end (hanging out just a little toutjie like a damn tampon) right up to the bladder.  30cm long.  Yes.....30.  This is to see to it that the blood that is coming out does not clot and permanently closes the urine pipe. 

You you walk with this.....thing.....for a week until the bleeding stops.  Each time going to the bathroom and dying BILLION deaths.

Back to go take out this thing.....pulls down pants.  Doc tells you to bite you your tongue.....then takes that toutjie hanging out and rips it out in 5 seconds.

The amount of emotions going through one guys head during that 5 seconds are immeasurable.  The emotional damage will never be repaired.  :wacko:  :blink:  ^_^

About 6 months after that I got another one.  Started drinking litres of water and beer.

Came out on it's own. 5mm.

 

Still waiting for the other 2? 3? to pop loose out of the kidney.  Can't wait..... :eek:

Yip that's the bugger of a stent that I had inside of me. Not nice at all.

 

Apparently after I came around from surgery I looked at my thing and shouted that I have a new fishing rod as the line to remove my stent was hanging down out the end of my penis.

 

I proceeded to flash my mother in law, showing the world my new rod... very embarrassing! :w00t:
