Hey, you want a good kidney stone story?
I had a small stone 3 or so weeks ago, only 3mm. After they figured it out with CT, they sent me home with painkillers. The only problem was that I was puking out everything, both painkillers and liquids. So although the vomit tasted cranberry, there was no liquid intake to flush my system out.
Eventually it took 14 hours to get ride of it. Without the puking it would have gone much faster, I guess.
Generally when I watch my diet I don't get stones. Stress also can cause stone formation....
Oh yeah, the ER bill was almost $5000, 4k of it for the CT, so you might want to make sure you have insurance, I only paid $85 of it....
