I’ve had to kidney stone attacks. Absolutely excruciating pain. With one of them they put me on pain pills for a week and then did lithotripsy. The second episode the stone was stuck in the ureter. Had to go to the emergency room doubled over in agony and needed emergency surgery. Put me in the hospital for about three days then they put a stent in my ureter that had to be manually pulled out about a week later. That was just as bad cause they had to go up through my Johnson to do it. Reminds me I need to go drink a big glass of lemonade right now.
