I am 19 years old and I have had kidney stones for about 4 years now. About 4 days ago I started feelings as if I have a kindey stone on the right side of my bladder. Ive already increased my water intake ALOT but nothing seems to be helping. I do not think that stone is very large, I am not in alot of pain at all which makes me think it is small. Is there any advice anyone can give me for passing this stone? This is the longest I have gone without passing it and as you all can imaigine I just want it OUT!!

Please and Thank You!!!!!

Hang in there. I just released 4 stones after 32 days of them sitting somewhere between the kidney and the urethral channel. I was a week-and-a-half with pain (pain killers are a great help!), and after the pain was gone I waited those 32 days for them to come out. Keep hydrated and avoid any impact to the kidney area. I also discovered a method that helps with the pain, when the stones are enroute to the bladder ("jump & stump" -, do a search on web). If you have medical insurance, follow-up with an urologist and ask to see a nutritionist for your diet.

with-out the knowledge the size of your invasive intruder of your well being i can say this...i have passed a 4mm x 7mm it took about two months and some flo-max (Sorry to say Flo-max is for shrinking Prostate so if your a woman...I can't see how that could help you) Go to a Pharmacy and get PHENAZOPYRIDINE HYDROCHLORIDE 95mg also known as AZO Standard you can get it over the counter and it is a WONDERFUL asset for us !!! (Be very careful because your urine will be Orange in color and IT WILL STAIN EVERYTHING IT TOUCHES)..having said that the best thing i can say is DO NOT BE LAYING ARROUND ! Be as active as you can be...I realize you don't feel like a Human and depression and PAIN will make you feel like not doing it but you NEED to be active...Don't drink Carbonated drinks or achohol (including Beer) cause it will feel as if your voiding ( Whizzing ) fire, I certainly hope my two cents will put you at a little ease and my thought will be with you and everyone else who is plagued with these agraV8n pieces of pure greif..water is in EVERYTHING liquid please feel free to ask me anything else and i will give you my best advice from 30 years of experience...wake yourself up in the middle of the night and drink,I feel water is the best choice for night time keeping your teeth in thought,Bruce:)
