As a man that has had 3 of them I think Gary has a kidney stone. I hope that is the diagnosis and has speedy recovery. Prayers sent.

I had a kidney stone two years ago that lodged in the ureter and took three operations to finally get out. I'm now dealing with a stricture caused by the scar tissue. If we can't get this solved I'm looking at what is called a ureteral reimplant surgery. Look it up. It will not be fun. Just amazing that something so small can cause so much trouble.

Toridol for kidney stones is AN ABSOLUTE JOKE!!!!! I am happy the hospital finds it as a solution, but it does NOTHING to a person affected with pain so bad they are doubled over.

I had a cat scan, and they said it was a 7 mm kidney stone. The proof is in the pudding. I understand someone "faking it" for pain meds, but damn, I pissed in a cup (which showed blood), took an IV, and showed the size of the kidney stone on film. How in the hell do I fall in the "I just want pain meds" category?

I wasn't at all suggesting you were. Sorry if it appeared that way. Do you remember where the stone was? As far as pissing blood, many a drug seeker has been caught pricking their finger and putting a few drops of blood in their urine cup, believe it or not. A 7mm stone is a big one. Not sure why you were not given percocets or lortabs to take home.

Well, sorry but you are wrong on this. Toradol has been shown to be very effective for kidney stone pain in many people. This is not a "hospital solution" as you say but a fact backed by evidence. Like I said, I give it with a narcotic and the combination works much better than the narcotic alone or even double the dose of the same narcotic. Some people with kidney stones actually request toradol alone. Not saying it work for everyone but it does at least help on the majority.

My mother had a kidney stone Christmas 07 and it was so big, it wasn't passable. What's weird is that she was in no pain. It caused her to have a 105 fever, and she ended up being rushed to the hospital, until tests showed that she indeed had a kidney stone. She had to have minor surgery to remove it.

I tend to keep most Stones I pass and unlike most Kidney Stone Sufferers mine are Uric Acid. I also get Gout from time to time. However my Dad who gets them as much as me have always been Calcium Stones. Weird to say the least.

Toridal has worked for me with very small Stones but does nothing when I get one thats 4mm plus.

My Aunt said that passing a big Kidney stone was worse for her than Natural Child Birth

Largest stone I ever Passed was 8MM I Sh*t you not. I keep it in a Asprin bottle in my closet. It tore me to hell coming out and I actually had to pull it out of the end of my Jack Johnson.

I was peeing blood for 2 days and ended up getting a UT Infection. You could have heard me screaming from Memphis to Bristol while I was taking that Piss

If all the hell from a kidney stone wasn't bad enough you come out of surgery with what looks like fishing string coming out of the head of your Johnson and taped to it. The doc tells you after so many days to pull on the string and pull a stint out thats tied to the string. Yeah not one of my best moments of being a man!

I have been getting them since I was 16 and I'm 33 now. The worst pain I have ever had. I had a Compound Fracture that didn't hurt half as much.

You don't know Pain till you get a Stone stuck between you Kidney and Bladder.

when I lived in Nashville, the water was so hard, for a couple of years I had one about every 45 -60 days or so. I was a Human pellet gun popping those boys out, I could have killed the dog. Moving out of state has saved me as I have had only a couple in many years. My advice - drink bottled water and cut way down on calcium foods.

I have had about 40 stones so far. Calcium oxylate. Must be the water here, same problem as Nashville.

The local ER (St. Thomas Rutherford, or, as I call it, Tommy in the Boro) nurses know me well. When I go in I get an IV, 40 mg of Toradol, and 2 mg of Dilaudid toot sweet. Then comes the Zofran. I have had to take 5 mg of Dilaudid before.

I have heard that Gravelroot (available at holistic health stores) keeps the incidence down. I prefer the Bud Light prophylaxis myself.

No one believes the pain I have described to them. Have had three lithotripsys because the bad boys were 12MM. Had a stent and the string came off. Urologist navigated a camera with some sort of grabber up my johnson. Grabbed the stent and with no warning yanked that puppy right out of there. I passed out from the pain. When I came to the nurse asked if I was ok. I said no and that sob isn't gonna be when I get my hands on him. He laughed and told me I was the last patient of the day and Elvis had left the building.

Key words here are "I give it with a narcotic".

I was given just Toradol. And to answer your question, it was just leaving my left kidney.

This talk makes my dick hurt just reading. I hope I never have a trace stone let alone a 12mm boulder come passing through. Hate it for all y'all though.

Kidney stone thread? Really? Are they more painful than the way the Volunteer football program has been the last 14 years?

* drags thread back kicking and screaming from discussion of ureteral obstruction *

Jim Harbaugh had to get a pacemaker (AICD maybe, I've forgotten) for a cardiac dysrhythmia. Others have this happen after a case of the GI blues, with more going out than coming in. Or just short on sleep, and/or stressed out, and a bunch of other reasons.

There are a ton of reasons for getting dizzy and dropping to the ground which have nothing to do with sharpy-edgey-way-too-big-thingies trying to pass through a narrow body part. :hi:

Best wishes to Kubiak, whatever brought it on.
