I think they can use ultrasound to break them up so you can pass them if they’re too large to pass. Mine was small enough that I passed it after a few days thankfully.

theangryseal@lemmy.world 4 months agoI’ve had kidney stones (I think) for two or three years now. It fucks off for a bit, comes back, gets infected, fucks my immune system up, then gets better.
I guess that fucker is too big to get down to where the extreme pain comes in.
I’m an idiot. I should have dealt with it already, but I seen my poor grandpa and uncle suffer once it started moving. I believe I’d rather die.

That’s the part I’m avoiding. Passing them. :p
I’m stupid.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 months ago
That was the least bad part for me.

Maybe I’m being scared of nothing and I’m tougher than I think to be dealing with it this long.
My uncle literally fell to the ground and said, “my gut has busted, I’m going to die right here.”
He’s the toughest son of a bitch I’ve ever known.

The pain is a lesser problem than getting chronic kidney infections. If you know the stones are the cause, you need to see a urologist to figure out a solution. Recurring inflammation from the stones and infections can cause more and more problems as you agree, and may potentially affect your renal function down the line.
