kidney stones

My husband, a truck driver, has had issues with kidney stones. The next to the last bout landed him in three different hospitals. Started on a Thursday in July. He was in Youngstown, PA. Had an ambulance take him to the hospital. They gave him pills, told him to drink plenty of water and sent him on his way. He was home, Michigan, over the weekend and felt great, figured they were gone. The following Tuesday he was in Ohio and drove himself, in the big truck, to the hospital. More pills, drink water, sent him on his way. He called his company, told them he was going home. Took him 8 hours to drive what should have been 3 hours. Everytime he got feeling sick he pulled over and slept. Got home Tueday night. Decided we would wait for his Dr's office to open on Wednesday to call to get him in. At 3 in the morning he couldn't take the pain any more. Took him to the ER and had him amitted. Thursday night they did surgey. He had 5 stones in his right kidney. Two weeks later he was back in an ER in Ohio. What the surgeon didn't tell him was that he had 3 in his left kidney. They passed, but a nurse in the hospital told him that too much tea and leafy greens can increase the chances of getting stones once you have had them. He used to drink a ton of tea to keep hydrated. Now he does juices and water, lots of water. If you ever get kidney stones, good luck with it.

 

Once you get them they will come back if you aren't careful

 

I know this post is over a year old but I can tell without a doubt that pure coconut water will get rid of a kidney stone and help keep new ones from forming. But remember PURE young green coconut water. It's the absolute best thing you can put into your body.

 

well last august i had 19 of them shoced removed. they had to go in and get. last one they tried to shock, it broke in half so now instad of 1 left i have 2. that was 6 surgeries month of august. do not even wamt to think what my bill would be. this was nt 3 time having stones. i have been to er so many times i can tell dr how it gets treated. however when i do they think i am coming in because i want morphine. i absolutely hate that stuff. breathing gets so shallow think it will stop. first surgery female dr went in didnt do anything said kidney full of infection, my reg guy said he looked at it, said it was just parts of many previous stones,
i have never been able to pass them. most people have 1 tube in each kidnry to gall blader i have 2 in the same area so i cannot pass them

 

oops that was 10 if 19 may have shot myself

 

I have had them several times. They are painful. Fortunately I was able to pass them and recovered one that I pissed out. The doctor had it analyzed. This is due to the fact that there are several types of stones. Each type requires a different change to your diet to minimize them. My doctor told me that the majority of people will have stones at some point in there life and most people pass them with little or no pain because the stones are microscopic. Unfortunately we have to deal with the larger stones. Now I need a sleeper with a restroom in it because I drink so much fluids that I have to pee every couple of hours.

 

Been a VERY and I mean a VERY bad year so far for me with the Gravel Pit aka my Kidneys. Passed 5 in the last week alone biggest was only 6 MM around. However 3 weeks ago I ended up on the floor in PAIN SCREAMING so bad my wife got woke up from a DEAD SLEEP. Why called the 14 MM one I passed. Doc ordered a Kidney Function Test and my Kidneys are do OK but my Med is cranking up the amount of Stones they are creating since I had another anti Siezure Med thrown into the mix this year. I hate SUMMER with a Passion. I told my wife I am going to get that Large one Gold Plated and use it as a stone in a Ring. Why as much pain as the SUCKER caused I might as well SHOW THE SUCKER OFF.
