I think it was 2000 when I had kidney stones. It hit me like a ton of bricks. My Dad had to come and get me to take me to the ER. I was throwing up in a trash can. I didn't know you could hurt so bad! I was fortunate and passed it later that day
Terry, one thing I found when I was going through this, is lemon juice will dissolve the stones. I had three stones drop out of the kidney 5-7 days apart and never passed one. I was constantly drinking water with a whole lemon squeezed into a glass at a time. And 2-3 beer between the percocet every 4 hours. Doc said he'd never seen anything like it...
i think i have finally passed it. i waspassing so many blood clots that it looked like chicken livers in a bowl so i cant say for certain when it went. im still very sore tired and half sick. but i am in the shop unboxing saws and parts trying to get back to the grind. thanks for all the well wishes

There are two types of stones calcium and acid. The lemon juice will desolve the acid stone, but not the calcium. Backing soda in water will also dissolve an acid stone. In my opinion drink lemon juice will help prevent stoned. Tom
Sorry but that is only a very rudimentary information on kidney stones.
The scientific data that lemon juice will disolve a acid stone is, how should I put it, very vague! Please stop publishing this misinformation. To make it simple "how should a acid disolve acid?". Besides that the situation is much more complex. There are much more different type of stones.
As a general rule: please donot drink as much fluid as you can at once! There is a increased risk of causing a rupture in your calyx/urether tract, due to high pressure. This makes an operation highly probable. So if you want to get rid of your stone fluid is your friend, but approximately every 1/2hr a small glass of water.
To put it simple, the two main stone types are calcium carbonate types and uric acid ones. The typical reason for primary are from the typical shortage of regular fluid uptake. The typical reason for the second type are from a over nutrition with protein diet. The second type is the only type sensitive to medication for disolving. The primary type just go the natural way, or if the size is too large then there are different types of procedures available(ESWL, URS, Lithotrypter, etc.).

Ouchy! I had a 4mm stone last July, damn they hurt.....sound like yours is a little worse than mine though. They gave me a dose of morphine and sent me home. It was almost 2 weeks later before I passed it. Drinking beer hanging around the pool one saturday and out she came!
I went back to the doctor last week for my results. They said it was Calcium Oxalate, and basically that I don't drink enough water. I said, ''I coulda told ya that''
Hope ya get back going soon!
