This year, by way of a nice change, I had an op to remove a stone in my bladder.
Variety is the spice of life!
Then they gave me Pethadin and a short while later about 20 monkeys came and sat on my bed with a traditional wicker picnic hamper .........one of them played the guitar and one had an accordian ;they were rowdy but they had the loveliest of food .At the same time a conveyor belt started up on the window sill next to the bed with little cuddly toys on it and every so often a great big malted chocolate shake with cream and Marshmallows on top which the monkeys kept stealing until a Walrus dressed as a policeman came and electrocuted them with a cattle prod .
Fuck........that Pethadin was amazing !
Yes. Not good. Missed the only gig ever. Discovered Morphine though, nom.
Also, lost 2lbs in a week. Result!
Sadly I missed the theraputic medicinals and spent twenty hours alternately purging from various orifaces and generally gibbering and sobbing, even letting a greek locum put his finger up my bum at the promise of pain relief drugs to follow. Still don't know if he was a real doc...
On the plus side my mother in law has had a similar experience.
No, I'm not Les Dawson's reincarnation. She passed on the rather handy data that it's way, way worse than child birth. It's killed quite a few whines over the years.
They reckon that once you've had them, and pretty irrespective of diet, you'll probably get them again within 5 years.
I know women who've given birth and had kidney stones and by their own admission, the latter is far more painful!
Glad it's passed
@robgilmo - out of interest, what's the link to being in the building trade?
Where does it hurt?
Is it bladder, or in your back?

Strangely, the bladder stone was pain free, unless you count the bowel-loosening terror of pissing blood.
I don't know about others here but I was continually vomitting as well and that's from the build up of toxins if the stone obstructs and causes a back-up of fluids in your tubes.
The ripping, pissing blood etc isn't good and I was also delirious. Given I couldn't keep oral morphine down, the nurse injected me but decided to more or less stab me in the muscle of my arm with the needle to introduce it a lot quicker. My wife said I was in so much kidney pain, I didn't even flinch at the nurse's action.
It isn't a nice thing and some people get stones from oxalates (calcium rich foods) and there's nothing unhealthy about their source e.g. legumes, leafy greens, berries. I do happen to eat these as there have other health benefits. I don't have an unhealthy diet or high dairy or caffeine intake and drink a lot of water i.e. stay hydrated, so it's just one of those things.
I have really no clue, Ive thought perhaps using lime or something but really I don't know, I was way too busy being in agony to ask at the time.
