Avezorak Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Yea brother I feel your pain. I had a round with them a couple years ago. I passed about 4 a month for 3 or 4 months. Hope I never have to go through that again!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootingchef Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I have passed about 12 in the last 8 years, and hurts every time. Bring on the Morphine and Dilaudid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigpops Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I have heard all the stories, but what really causes them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avezorak Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 My nutritionalist said tea, coffee and dark sodas were the biggest causes for me. I took some herbs and got rid of all mine. Its been 3 years since Ive had any problems, but it was pure hell for a few months. The painkillers and muscle relaxants would knock me out for a day and the next day I would be too groggy to function. No fun at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wi shooter Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I have heard all the stories, but what really causes them? My doctor said you can get them from an excess of almost anything. Mine was from sugar/coka-cola. Now I drink diet coke, and no problems. Worst pain of my life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzShooter Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I was told to drink Cranberry Juice to help eliminate getting them. I was passing at least one a year for a while. Last time I was in a very nice restaurant and when I went to the urinal (filled with ice for some reason ) I passed one. The amount of blood that went with it looked like a crime scene. Waitress asked what I'd like to drink and although I do not drink I asked for a large single malt to get rid of the pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Hello: I got mine from working in 104 degree heat for 4 days and not drinking enough water. Mine were small but still hurt like hell. I have had some bad cuts etc. but the pain that did not go away from the kidney stones was something else. I now drink alot of fluids and try to stay away from sodas on very hot days. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHA-LEE Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 All of these kidney stone horror stories make my gut churn. I am still waiting to hear back from the lab results on my kidney stone. In the research that I have done it seems like there are a bunch of different factors that can cause them. So its key to know what kind of stone it is before making any diet adjustments. I am willing to give up whatever food or drink to not experience that kind of pain again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHA-LEE Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 I finally heard back from the Dr on the Kidney Stone I passed. It is a Calcium Oxalate stone. I did some searching and found a list of foods that are high in Oxalate. I am a diabetic and control my blood sugar by diet so I have a pretty limited diet already but one thing on the Oxalate list that really stood out is black tea. That is really the only thing on the list that I eat/drink a lot of. I drink a LOT of ice tea so now I have to give that up. Hopefully giving up Ice Tea will keep the kidney stones from happening again. I will miss drinking Ice Tea, but its a small price to pay if it means not experiencing another kidney stone. I think the only positive thing out of this whole experience is that it has totally reset my understanding of what is or isn't painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigpops Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Great! I drink a large cup of hot tea every morning, can't stand coffee. Looks like I may have to come up with a new drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putty Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 (edited) Had hundred or so,,,,,lost count. Peed one out last sunday at home depot. Didnt surprise me like it used to. I have Calcium oxalate stones too. The issue is usually deeper than changing to foods with less oxalates etc. You need a 24 hour pee test to determine what is really going on, along with the blood test. Most likely you have high uric acid content, so limiting meat high in purines is the best route with pounding water to dilute uric acid concentrations (high uric can also lead to gout). But dont listen to me, I am not a doctor but I am related to one. Edited October 18, 2010 by Putty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
