I have a rare genetic disorder that presents as endless kidney stones. I am missing the gene with the instructions on how to process cysteine. It's very not soluable in water, so stones are constantly forming. I piss out some gravel every time I go, but about 2-3 times a week I pass a stone a couple cm and am usually in unbearable pain for 6-12 hours.

About twice a year they get big enough (6-8 cm) where they gotta knock me out and go up there and get em. That's the worst, because they usually leave a, "stint" in there for a couple weeks to make sure your ureter doesn't close up while it's healing from all the damage the stone did.
