Go to the doctorsCant afford it. Im uninsured.
That sucks, sorryLol nah, I get it. I dont even drink much soda aside from the occasional Virgils root beer. Dont eat many sweets, either. I picked up some cranberry juice, so maybe that will help.
I hope I never get one.
"High dietary intake of animal protein, sodium, sugars including honey, refined sugars, fructose and high fructose corn syrup, and excessive consumption of fruit juices may increase the risk of kidney stone formation due to increased uric acid excretion and elevated urinary oxalate levels (whereas tea, coffee, wine and beer may decrease the risk)."
Sounds unlikely I will. I don't have much sugar, juice or animal fat, and I do enjoy my coffee, tea, wine. and beer. It actually sounds like adults who eat and drink like children are more likely to get it?
That sounds worse than I meant it.
Cant afford it. Im uninsured.Please endeavor to fix that and get some sonic treatments to break up the kidney stones if they are too big to pass.
That sucks, sorryNot iced tea hopefully. I know a few older dudes who were/are iced tea feinds and both dealt with multiple stones. One of them refuses to stop drinking it and keeps getting stones. Fucking masochist.

The only comfort I can offer is that it is not as painful as gout.
Drink lots of water, take anti inflammatory drugs.
Side note: it's pretty fucking depressing that you're not even the only poster this week who is in agony, but cannot afford the healthcare you need. Shameful.
Please endeavor to fix that and get some sonic treatments to break up the kidney stones if they are too big to pass.I graduated college and hoped to have a job in my field by now. Itll happen, but damn I wish it would hurry.
can you see kidney stones or are they microscopic?I dont recommend googling it, but there are size scales for them. Ive never heard of a microscopic kidney stone.

I wonder what makes kidney stones so painful.
They have jagged edges and sometimes barely fit through your urinary tract.Eww I hope I don't ever experience it.

you guys can keep pretending it's "soda" and "ice tea" but it's animal protein plus a lack of vegetables that increases your risk of kidney stones.There are quite a few different kinds of kidney stones and each type comes with it's own reasons for forming. The only uniform dietary advice for all of them is to drink more water. Even then, some people just have bad genetics and still get them.

You have my condolences. This is one pain I hope I never have to go through
I had a kidney stone once a few years ago. Wasn't bad until all of the sudden it wasn't. Within 2 hours I went from no pain, to the worst fucking pain I've ever felt in my life. 2 hours later and it came out and I instantly felt better.
The only comfort I can offer is that it is not as painful as gout.what a terrible experience that was
Sorry if I missed it but how old are you?Im 31 on the 15th of April
Hope it clears up for you soon.
