It makes no sense that supposed experts in their field can't come up with basic remedies that I can find on reddit. I'd have probably punched the urologist were I in your situation, there's really no excuse for that.This. The key is to stay well enough hydrated that crystals don't ever form due to mild dehydration and you can drink mostly what you like. I suffered from dozens of stones over a 6 -7 year period culminating in 3 at once that were too big to pass.
Average passable stone is 2-4mm and 5 or 6mm is around the top end able to pass, depending on size and path of ureter coming from each kidney down to every guy's favorite toy. I went to pee one day and it was like I was peeing Coke because it was so black.....but no pain. It was like I poured a 2 liter of Coke in toilet but was almost all blood. Never had that happen so I freaked and went to the Tennova ER at I-75 in Powell.
Turns out that I had 11x13mm and 11x9mm monsters in the chamber and a 3rd one just about to exit my kidney into my ureter that was even larger than the other two by a good bit....all on my right side ureter/kidney.
They arranged for surgery 2 days later to do the lithotropsy and break them up. I refused a stint.....no hooked coathanger being shoved up my junk and changed weekly, if needed, while awake. Bad move.l on my part.
After surgery, the sheer amount of the broken up stone's debris caused my right side to get a massive clog of basically sand mixed with tiny razorblades. Urologist said it was like stepping on a garden hose on full blast and letting pressure build. 3-4 months of constant agony that around the clock Oxycodone couldn't touch and I finally said "Wouldn't FloMax help?"
Idiots at Urologist office said that's a great idea and I peed out about a coffee cup worth of razor sand within 2-3 days. Biggest relief ever, followed by blind fury at Urologist's office and myself on the stint, followed by oxycodone withdrawal a couple days later.
Never have passed another stone in the last 11 years, though.
120 minute IPASorry, you lost me at Vodka...unless it's a Bloody Mary.

Just bet the over. Our defense is going to force 3 and outs or at worst turnovers on downs.I'm concerned about the 1st Quarter Boys. Our defense will be a lot better and will probably shut down teams in the 1st quarter. That could make the 1st qtr o/u a little trickier. Hopefully our offense is good enough to take advantage of the help from our defense. I also hope we get a few o/u lines between 9.5-12.5. I think alot of our games will go over that. We should still be able to win a lot more than we lose.

I didn't think you were calling them evil. You called them soldier fodder, which, to me, is insulting. I do get where you're coming from.Don't misunderstand. I am fully behind our vets and they deserve to be cared for. The point being, "It would be better that the vets not be put through these things than for them to have to be treated after the fact."
I'm not calling vets evil. I'm calling the rotten politicians and the people who buy them evil.
Thank you and everyone else. The scan was clear so we are back home. Most likely muscular inflammation. She is still in quite a bit of pain. I truly appreciate everyone's kind words and we'll wishes. Thanks to all of my VN family.@drvenner any updates on your wife you care to share? Hope she’s doing better, brother.
I'm all for a good beer; but, NEVER over a good whisky.120 minute IPA
120 Minute IPA
Clocking in at 15-20% ABV and continuously hopped with a copious amount of hops, it's easy to see why we call this beer THE HOLY GRAIL for hopheads!www.dogfish.com
Had it one time, BEFORE they lowered the alcohol content. 24 Oz bottle was $50.
Could taste the alcohol in it. Else was a masterful, multi layered beer.
When daytime talk shows were interesting not these clown shows on these days.
