Kidney Stones

[exbfb]

Anyone ever had them ?

I'm undergoing my second bout.

Had them first in 1995. Very very intense and thought I was going to die, only lasted three or four days.

Being going on now for a few weeks again but at a less intense level.
One of the factors is dehydration.

If anyone's had them, any tips you have on managing the symptoms would be appreciated.

My energy level is seriously compromised and the bike seems like a place I don't want to be.
I want to avoid that taking root.

Oh yes, once , the only thing that helped me was codiene then an op , very painful, you have my sympathy.

Can't they be broken up with focussed shock waves?

They can indeed be broken up with a procedure called lithotripsy.
I understand that is not without discomfort though...
