August 20, 201412 yr 1st time was 3 years ago Labor Day and I literally "cried like a baby" it hurt so much. This past Monday evening, just before bed, that uncomfortable feeling came over me. The pain lasted about 10 minutes and was pretty much tolerable, on a scale of 1 to 10 and 10 being VERY BAD, it was a 4. Yesterday had no pain whatsoever, however, this morning has I was heading to my 1st delivery the pain started to occur. As I continued delivering the pain was about 5 or 6, and I thought I might be able to deal with it. However, as I began delivering in the Orleans subdivision (home to a few BGP'ers) the pain suddenly shot up to the 8-9 range and within a few minutes it was off the chart. At this moment I know I need to get to the hospital, and for those that know the area, however at this point I'm a "stones throw away" (pun intended) from Cooper High School and St. Elisabeth is a good 15 minutes away. I haul butt to St. E's, of course I encounter about 5 "Sunday" drivers who have to go 10 miles under the speed limit and spell out their entire name at every stop sign. I park my FedEx truck in front of the Emergency Room door and within minutes (following some colorful language) I'm getting a shot of morphine for the pain. Cat Scan reveals a 3 millimeter stone and it is about to pass anytime. When I left, the pain had completely gone away, but I did get a prescription for Percocet if the pain reoccurs. I WOULD NOT WISH THIS PAIN ON ANYONE!!!!
August 20, 201412 yr Thankfully I have never experienced that before. I hope I never do. Good luck on your future "deliveries".
August 20, 201412 yr Still doesn't compare to giving birth...just sayin' I've never experienced either, but many a woman has told me they'd rather give birth a hundred more times than experience another kidney stone. I can spot a kidney stone patient the moment they walk in the ER door. And I can tell the legit ones from the ones just wanting drugs. Edited August 20, 201412 yr by LRCW
August 20, 201412 yr I've had numerous ones. Seem to get stuck just before getting to the bladder. I asked my GP to prescribe Flomax and it helped in passing the last one. Good Luck.
August 20, 201412 yr yes, I have. What size, and were your ureters or your urethra completely blocked?

Farrah is one of few ladies I have heard say giving birth is more painful. I echo what HT said...never had a kidney stone & hope I never do.
August 20, 201412 yr What size, and were your ureters or your urethra completely blocked? Whoa, whoa, whoa! Take the urethra discussion to PM's you pervert.
August 20, 201412 yr What size, and were your ureters or your urethra completely blocked? Good lord, I don't remember what size. It was over 8 years ago. My babies were 9 lbs. each though.
