Reply To: Kidney Stones – Anyone?

I am a male. The emergency room is not a fun place and you would rather be in your own bed when the stone is passing. Everyone has different thresholds of pain, but be prepared. Have your doctor prescribe powerful pain medication (i.e.;vicodine)for the eventual and painful stone passing event. During the “passing”, take the medication as prescribed, get into bed, and keep drinking lots of water. You will be ok. The actual last moments of the passing out of the stone is not painful, just its trip from the kidney.
