As a fellow Kidney Stone Alumni, I approve of this treatment. I got the unfortunate opportunity to discover I'm mostly immune to Morphine during this event. I learned this while in the fetal position on the floor of a small room off the ER at the local Hospital.
Fun times... This was when I was 26, and now at double that age, I still 'perk up' if i get a cramp in my Kidney. That doesn't happen very often, but I do know exactly where my kidney is, and if I get a pain there I quickly start thinking... Oh no, please no!
These stories scare me! I’ve fortunately not had to deal with them, but are there dietary things that can be done to reduce the chance, or is it genetic and you’re just stuck with them?
Both! Best advice since there's a couple different types of stones is to drink more water.
