kidney stones, jeeeez that hurt

[caveman_nige]

I was at work this morning at a client site when i started to feel quite ill. I had massive abdominal pains and was really suffering.. I had no idea what it was but figured i just had a massive fart trapped or a log jam.

After 10 mins sitting on sh1tter in the disabled toilets hanging onto the hand rail trying desperately to knock out a fart or snap one off i gave in. I pulled up my trollies and staggered back into the office area and fired up a browser to look at the nhs direct symptom checker site, the advice was call 999 immediately. i signalled to the bloke nearby to come over and asked him to take me to the hospital. My grimacing face obviously showed I was in some pain and he kindly obliged.

15 minutes later i am in the A&E and being carted off by the nurses. a CT scan and a healthy dose of morphine later plus some other diclofenac cream that they decided stick up my ring the doctor informed me that they had correctly diagnosed a stuck kidney stone.. wtf, I have never had one of these before.

Whatever they did (apparently it was the cream that was the most effective) sorted me out and the pain began to subside in quite quickly. But that was one very painful experience that I am not looking forward to repeating...

Just thought I would share that little experience with you all.

An awful thing to have is kidney stones, I still have a couple left there but they arent giving me any probs at the minute, been in hospital quite a few times, done the CT scan, Lithotripsy twice and got rid of most but there are still a couple left.
I was crawling along the floor trying to get help, I was in fekkin agony.
Its when the wee blighters get stock in the ureter and the bladder gets a build up of pressure which cause the most pain, I pissed a few out and it was very painful.

I still remember the 3rd time I went to hospital and when I got there I just said "check my history...it's kidney stones so please give me morhine " They did and it was brilliant.

Can't remember the name of the tablets...sound like something on an Indian menu.., but if you have probs again and are offered them...ask for the supository tablets....laugh away or think no fekkin way am I getting them BUT...they are nearly as fast acting as the morphine. The Doc told me its the quickest way into the system when you are at home so I took them and trust me they worked.
