I think I have kidney stones, yet again! Ugh -- no health insurance
Please send good thoughts and prayers my way. I loath the idea of going in for an MRI, Urologist without insurance. This will be my 3rd battle and passing of kidney stones, in 8 years.
Pity Party .. here I come...
Twisted Sister == in tremendous pain,

Been there Vicki Sam. I think it was the most painful thing I ever experienced, including 26 hours of childbirth labor!
I'm thinking VERY POSITIVE thoughts for a quick passage..........

You've had more than your share of medical woes. I'm really sorry to read this.
Drink your cranberry juice, rest up, and hopefully you're wrong and it will go away.

Oh no!
I know what you are going through. I suffered with this pain right before my breast cancer was diagnosed last year. Then after the diagnosis, everything else went on the back burner. Finally ended up go to a urologist in December. I had a kidney stone lodged in my urethra. He was able to dislodge it, but not remove it. He said if I didn't pass it, I would have to have it surgically removed. I REFUSED to have another surgery. Went home drank, drank, drank, and drank some more until I was floating and did manage to pass it. Hopefully, you will too. I know what kind of pain you are having and I am so sorry.

So sorry to hear this, Vickicahjah75 said:Vicki
drink, drink and drink some more - all the cranberry juice you can swallow. My mom had stones when I was 16 and she was doubled over in pain. I sure hope you're able to pass them.

I am sorry to hear you are suffering. I never had kidney stones but I did see my daughter suffer with that problem. They were about to admit her to the hospital to do the surgery and low and behold she went to the restroom at the dr. office and passed the stone. I hope you are lucky enough to pass yours quickly.

prayers for you!
Dear VickiSam
Know I'm praying for you. I cannot add anything except agree with all the others: DRINK! I have a dear friend who gets kidney stones every couple of years and I've never seen anyone in such pain. They're horrible! Praying that nasty stone shrinks, shrivels & passes through!
Much Love, Prayers and Hugs,

Oh Vicki, I am so sorry!!! I've had kidney stones and I would rather give birth to triplets without pain killers than have another kidney stone. Bless your heart. I hope it passes soon. I'll be praying for you and I'm sending you a big ole Texas sized hug.

Vickie Sam, so sorry to hear about this old/new pain! I hope that your remedies do the trick and you can avoid more medical stuff. Here's a gentle hug all covered in best wishes. xoxoxoxo Lynn
I've heard about (but never experienced) the pain from kidney stones. I hope this passes quickly - no pun intended. Sorry you're having to deal with it again. Best wishes.

OUCH!
Oh Vicki I am so sorry to hear that you are in such distress, I hope this goes away soon and that you get much needed relief asap. Is there any hope you can possibly see a doctor who will let you make payments or something, cannot imagine going without treatment if it is seriously needed.
Gentle Hugs and Prayers heading your way,

Aaawhhh ):
VickiSam,
I am sorry to hear that you are in pain. Thank god for painkillers!
Take good care of yourself VickiSam, we need your caring and
witty personality on this board.
I too have tons of painkillers, anti nausea and antibiotics left over.
My PS kept prescribing them to me and I didn't know what they
were till I got them and realized I already had some. I feel bad
wasting them.
Hugs,
Ayse0
