    Hey everyone! I just want to be super clear about something towards the end of the video - it's not that spinach, potatoes and beans should be avoided by all individuals at all times (or that they're unhealthy). The issue is that once someone has a kidney stone, the likelihood of them developing another stone within the next few years is EXTREMELY high. It's these individuals that will need to make the most drastic dietary changes. For most everyone else, diets high in citrate and that include a significant water intake are usually seen to be a best practice. As always though, consult your doctor and find the best path forward for you. Thanks!

    There's 3 different kind of stones. Calcium Oxalate being the hardest to treat as they are stronger than diamonds. Many Doctors recommend hydration & a low oxalate diet. Also suggested is to consume calcium foods along with foods containing oxalates as it might prevent stones. I say "suggest" however there is research to back it up.

    Drink lemonade or other citrus drinks every day. The most common stones caused by diet and lifestyle are composed of calcium oxalate which doesnt dissolve in water but can dissolve in citrate. You can also avoid foods high in oxalate and make an attempt to stay hydrated to prevent calcium oxalate from accumulating. Other stones are generally genetic or occur alongside conditions such as gout

    I had a kidney stone in 2019. As a man, I am extremely reluctant to complain about pain, but I ended up in the ER, and after the nurses waited around for a while, I broke down and started SHOUTING from the room in which they had left me, all the way out to the nurses' station/waiting room "Help! Help! Help!" I almost couldn't form multi-word sentences. All social restraint was gone. The nurse said my eyes were rolling around in my head and she thought I was going to pass out at any moment, so THEN they took me seriously, and my 1.3 cm stone was removed surgically, thank God.

    I had my first kidney stone in 2014 and it woke me up out of a dead sleep and I was SCREAMING! If you can imagine being stabbed in them kidney with a red hot jagged spike, then it being twisted over and over, you KINDA get the idea. I thought I was dying and got no relief until I begged the ER for meds to make it stop. Worst pain I’ve ever experienced and I’ve had it twice.

  • @epicnipple8746

    It feels like being stabbed with a hot knife. Then, every twenty minutes someone comes and twists it. This could go on for several hours or even days. You can’t sit up because it hurts, so you try to stand but that hurts. You can’t lie down because that hurts too so you just kneel over some cushions or curl up on the floor. Then the pain is so intense, you just puke for what seems like an hour until there’s absolutely nothing left. You can’t eat, sleep, or even drink a little water for quite some time. Best thing to do is get a heating pad and eventually you will get so exhausted, you’ll pass out for a brief respite between the stabbing pains.

I had these coughing spells then I felt like someone took a knife and stabbed me in my right flank. It took my breath away. It was very painful. I thought I hurt my back from coughing. I saw my dr the next day and he told me i have a kidney stone and i told him no i don't but i did. My son was born a week later healthy(i also had oligohydramnios, low amniotic fluid)a little crinkled up and my placenta looked like beef jerky, but no problems, thank God. The pain of the kidney stone was worse than the birth, but not the 1st kid, that one was worse!

As far as i can remember under all circumstances he preserved a strong posture and never asked for help. When he got kidney stones it was the first time that he desperately called for help during the night and my grandma said that he wept in the hospital, and she said it was the first time of that happening.

    Let me give you a tip! I dealt with a kidney stone in September of 2022 and it was the worst pain I ever experienced. Not because it’s unbearable, but because it’s never ending. It’s a constant flow of horrible pain. During the first night of dealing with the stone I suffered greatly. I couldn’t sleep or even sit still without the horrible pain making me worried that I may be possibly dying. I would easy get dizzy and light headed because of how extreme the pain is. Overtime I found a home remedy. Whenever the pain would come back and I could tolerate it no longer, I would step into the shower for about 20 minutes and let the hot water just hit my kidney. By that time my kidney would start numbing and I would no longer feel the pain. When I was good, I would go lay down and try to sleep. When the pain came back and I would wake up in the middle of the night, I would do the same thing. Shower, numb, sleep. Keep doing this over and over and trust me, it will make your experience a lot easier!

When I was 65 had the 1st stone - woke up in the middle of the night - I just thought it was another problem relating to radiation. Finally hubby made me get up & took me to nearby clinic. After the nurse took vitals the doctor RAN into the room. Asked which local hospital I preferred - told him & he said go NOW. It was an election day so I told him I'll vote & then go to the hospital. He said NO - YOU GO NOW. At ER vitals were again taken & I was immediately hooked up to an IV with morphine. Turns out I had sepsis - 2 days ICU and a week in the hospital.

I just want to tell you to be kind to people in pain. You have No Idea how bad it is for them. Alleviate their suffering as best as you can, and do it with as much compassion as you can muster. I remember a nurse running back and forth for hot towels for half her shift and I still tear up from gratitude for that relief. My heros are the ones who relieve my pain and do even basic care like bringing me an orange or any silly little things ... I am on palliative care for my pain.

    This definitely hurts more than childbirth. 100% it’s the worst thing a human can go through aside from purposeful torture. The sweat, the loss of limb control, the vomiting, the loss of bladder and bowl control…never have I thought I was dying the way I did that day. I’ve also passed a premature pregnancy and it was painful too, throwing up, shaking, shitting, bleeding, but nothing compared to the kidney stone. Ibuprofen worked for passing the fetus but I wouldn’t stop involuntarily shaking until they gave me morphine to the vein for the kidney. I thought my spine had somehow broken and I was genuinely afraid I wouldn’t be able to walk again. My husband and I have both had them so thankfully someone near me understood.

    Ive had kindey stones multiple times, I remember the first time, it was 8 years ago, I was 12. Me and my parents were watching a movie at night thats when I first started feeling a kind of unexplainable pain, I thought it was my back but it wasnt, I hid the pain away until the morning. I woke up in the biggest pain I will ever experience. I threw up 17 times that day because of the pain. After throwing up 12 times, the last 5 times were just blood because I didnt have anything else to throw up. We were of course at the hospital for a few days and I going to the cafeteria with my mom. I saw a kid at my age that had cancer. That child died a few days later... I will never forget the pain of the kidney stones, but at the same time... I will never ever explain how thankful I was to have ONLY kidney stones...

    To me the pain wasn't the worst part, it was that bad, it's just pain, and you also get morphine. the worst part was the aftermath of the surgery, I had one of those tubes from the kidney to the bladder, and it made me feel like I had to pee all the time, I had to put myself on a schedule, and only allow myself to go to the bathroom once every hour, else I would have lived in there. Walking made it worse and going to pick up food sometimes had me doubled over. I'm really happy I still had some morphine left.

Never knew I had it until an ultrasound looking for the cause of other pain. Roll on 18 months, I went for a routine CT scan and found 2x more. Didn't know I had them either. Guess I got lucky, the most painful part for me is the afterpain from surgery. Having a stent installed for a week, and then getting that removed.

    Fantastic explanation. First time it happened, I didn't know I had a stone. One minute I was out socialising, next thing I thought I was dying. You won't be able to sit in a ER waiting area, you'll be pacing like a mad person - this is a classic kidney stone sign, you can't stay still. The next hours were a blur. You're sweating, vomiting, totally out of your body. It took 4 morphine shots to get the pain down a tiny notch. A scan showed I had 7 more stones. Eventually had a uteroscopy to get them out - 4+ hours of surgery. In my case, it's genetic and the shape of my kidneys. Btw peeing out the stone is a relief, and that part doesn't hurt at all, it's when they're stuck at the top near your kidney that you'll be begging for mercy.

At the time it was between 5 and 6, but then all of a sudden someone jammed a blunted pencil right through my lower back and we hit 12. I didn't know my personal pain scale went quite that high, and I'd sooner not have found out. And that was a medium 4mm stone.

    Two years ago, late August, I woke up one morning, at around 5 am I believe, feeling a sharp pain on the left side of my abdomen. At first I thought it might be food poisoning. Oh, I wish it were. I lied down awake in the bed for a bit and then decided to go to the bathroom. I didn't feel like pooping or vomitting so I returned to the bed with a bucket just in case I wanted to throw up. While trying to relax in bed, the pain got worse, I sat at the side of the bed and then got on my knees on the floor, trying to find a more comfortable position to relieve the pain, laying my upper body against the mattress. The pain had literally folded me in half. It was still early, around 6. I decided to get up, and go to the local health center. I was in no condition to drive, and it wasn't particularly far, like 600 meters from my house. I just left the house wearing whatever I was sleeping in and some sandals (summer). Well, let me tell you, I barely walked like 50 meters out of the house, when I had to collapse on the sidewalk from the pain. I didn't have my phone with me, for fear of losing it under these conditions. Luckily, someone happened to pass by that knew who I am, they immediately tried to get an ambulance to pick me up, but sadly, there was no ambulance available. I gave them my parents number to call them and remember, it was still like 6:15 AM, so my parents were still in bed. They woke up, got the car and drove for 15 minutes to get to me. I was still lying on the sidewalk on one side. I couldn't really stand up, at least not for more than a few seconds. When they arrived, I managed to get in the front seat and we promptly got to the health center. I threw up once while in the hospital bed, but it was a lot, I overfilled the bowl the nurse was holding, it was real bad. At some point while there, I was given a strong painkiller which slowly made it easier to relax and eventually get up. I went to the toilet for a urine sample that had a pink tint, (surprise, surprise, there was blood in there). The doctor then sent me to have an ultrasound of the general abdominal area, which didn't show any kidney stones or any problems with my bladder, just an irritation in a specific area of the kidney, where the stone was, the ultrasound doctor assumed. I went back to the doctor at the health center, and she told me that I need to see a urologist. That led to some of the worst months of my life so far. I saw the urologist, he told me I need to go get a CT scan for my upper abdominal area. The CT scan mentioned something around 13mm in diameter in my left kidney and proposed I have an MRI scan in that kidney to examine that finding better. Fast forward 1 month after the CT scan, I get the MRI scan and send the results (with the data disc) to my doctor who is in a different city, he looks at them with his team of experts and tells me it's like 99% a cyst. But then, he tells me I should go do a cellular urine test to be more safe. I had to go to a different place and stay at a hotel to give them the required samples at the hospital, because I couldn't do this test where I live. Anyway, after that stressful 3 days, and another 10 days of waiting for the results, I was relieved to get a negative result in terms of malignancies. So after that, the urologist told me I should try to relax and forget about it, because there's nothing more I can do, in terms of tests, other than possibly do a scan every year or so, to check if anything has changed. Last time I did an ultrasound, the doctor told me he can barely make out something around 14mm in diameter and according to his expertise in the field of kidney ultrasounds, he said it is most likely something called a... let's say... fatty bloodvessel or something (sorry, we are not English speakers so I tried to translate it directly) and that it's a benign formation. The good news is there were no kidney stones and the kidney looks fine, same for the bladder. He also told me I should stop worrying too much so I've been trying to do my best to live more carefree. The only thing I've changed about my diet is drinking plenty of bottled water. In the past I used to drink exclusively tap water, which was probably my downfall. I just hope I haven't done any major damage to my kidneys. And yes, my father had issues with kidney stones but ever since he started drinking exclusively bottled water, he hasn't had an episode for more than 20 years now. P.S: It's defintely the worst pain I've experienced so far.

    I had a kidney stone a few years ago, thought I was literally dying. I thought at first it was a massive painful shit, but after I realized I couldn't crap, I collapsed on the bathroom floor in pain. I then told my job at the time that I had to leave. On my way back home I stopped at about ten restrooms thinking I had massive poop pains but yet nothing helped and it felt like my intestines were melting. I then went back home and after an hour of severe pain I called a friend to drive me to a hospital as I thought I was about to die. I then was puking while in the emergency room from the pain and then after a couple of hours I pissed it out and almost immediately the pain went away. Ive had blood clots, and had them slice into my leg without any painkillers or being asleep for them to pump in anticoagulant into my veins and pushing the tube up my deep veins in my leg (because of the severity of my condition they had to operate on me without putting me to sleep and with no painkillers, because it would have lowered my heart rate too much). Anyways, the kidney stone hurt worse then them slicing into my veins and shoving shit up them. But the worst pain was afterwards when I got a 20k medical bill for them doing nothing and just pissing out the kidney stone for being in the emergency room for three hours, yay America!

Again not costing me a penny. I've been kidney stone free for over 5 years now. =)

    When I was 16 I was diagnosed with infantile ureters. This meant the tube from my kidneys to my bladder did not grow. They remained very small. This caused my body to retain waste. This caused a build up of scar tissue and kidney stones. I was really sick. My urologist said they would have removed this kidney but the other kidney was damaged as well. Both kidneys weren’t working as well as one normal person’s kidney. I had numerous surgeries to correct the problem and remove kidney stones. After the first surgery my doctor presented me with a specimen cup with about twenty stones.

    My kidney stone was, according to the doctor, just 1,5 milimeters in diameter. But I was still shaking in pain. Drenched in sweat, screaming and vomiting at the same time while a nurse was shooting pain killers into my lower back. Peeing blood, vomiting any water I drank, so an IV had to be put in. Limping on the left leg because of the stone after the worst had passed and then about 2 weeks of constant pain suppressed by chewing pain killers. Without a doubt the most all encompassing horrific pain I have ever experienced to this day. And yes.. 1,5 milimeters diameter was all it took for me..

I felt like someone had dug their dull fingers into my body and they were slowly tearing me in half. I was surprised at the amount of mental anguish too; there was just no escape from the pain. It never diminished and nothing could ease it. It got to the point where everything around me faded and only my pain existed, it was almost like my mind so badly wanted to be unconscious but the pain wouldn't allow it.

    Oh my gosh, that sounds terrible! I had liver & kidney failure about 14 years ago & it was one of the most painful things I’ve ever experienced! My whole body felt like i had been lit on fire & I was burning alive. I couldn’t see & I could only hear muffled, like I was underwater & the only thing I heard was someone screaming from a distance & eventually I finally realized it was me, I was screaming. The whole experience is surreal & while I don’t think about a lot, I still remember the pain very vividly. What’s funny tho, is I had just finished reading the last Twilight book (I kno, I kno, it’s kinda cheesy, but we ALL have our guilty pleasures, lol!) & there’s a section where the main character is turning into a vampire & the author describes it as her feeling like she’s burning alive, like lava inside her, & the transformation typically took 2 1/2 - 3 days. Well, when I was going thru this, my mind wasn’t all there (I’d also had respiratory failure/lack of oxygen) & I remember thinking, “oh my god, a vampire bit me & now I’m gonna have to go thru this agony for 3 days!!!” I can laugh about it now, but my fucked up brain at that moment was really freaked out about it 😂

You might prefer to pee them out rather than surgically remove them unless you have dozens of them. Also best prefer to stay healthy coz this hurts like hell for a lot of hours, lower back pain or side abdominal pain would really make you feel suicidal once that pain kicks in if you have Kidney Stones or UTI, though Kidney Stones are a lot more painful from my experience. Since then I've been drinking lots of water coz I never want to go back and feel this again. I promise you it's like torture straight up, no shit, and it last for hours per day.

    Ive had about 12 kidney stones. If you want to know what they feel like, imagine you go to the bathroom and then suddenly feel a very sharp pain in your upper back that slowly ramps up overtime, and as it ramps up it begins radiating to your stomach and lowerback. Then about 5 minutes in, the pain reaches its peak and stays there for the next 12 - 36 hrs usually. You cant escape it with any twist or turn, standing or laying down. After awhile you'll just start throwing up and then you'll be so weak from doing that you kinda just pass out hoping that by the time you wake up its gone. It never is. So you repeat the process over and over again. You probably forget to eat because youre too busy "managing" the pain or youre just afraid youll throw it all up anyways. Oh and any pain medication that isnt administered through IV is useless for the same reason, as you can rarely even keep water down. (these are the stones that dont need medical intervention btw. the ones that do usually get stuck or pass much slower and can take multiple days to even a week of that pain level to pass.)

    I've had an 8mm kidney stone about 3 years ago, and it was hands down the most painful experience of my entire life. Take every broken bone, every dental treatment without local anaesthetics, every headache and stomachache combined, multiply them by 10 and you're not even close. I woke up in the middle of the night and literally screamed with pain. Called myself a taxi, crawled outside on the street, waited what felt like an eternity for the taxi to arrive, then told him to get me to the nearest hospital as fast as he can. There, I limped to the reception in slow motion, tried to tell the lady what my problem is but could barely form a sentence through all the pain. Luckily though, she guessed what happened and declared an emergency, so I "just" had to wait for about 10 minutes (it felt like 8 hours, honestly). After I squirmed with pain and almost passed out, a doctor came and finally gave me some really strong pain meds. Trust me, I don't even want this to happen to my worst enemy!

    I had kidney stones a few years ago. When I walked into the emergency room, the attendant looked at me and said, “By the look on your face, I can see that you have kidney stones!”…It’s the look of death. While I was lying there in agony, for the first time, I had pain so significant that death seemed like a viable alternative. Once they gave me some IV drugs, I was in heaven. I went from feeling as bad as I’ve ever felt, to feeling the best I’ve ever felt inside of five minutes.

I could barely breathe through the pain, and almost passed out a couple of times. They had to dope me up on morphine, and a nurse held my hand until it kicked in. How I didn't break that woman's hand is beyond me. I literally saw stars, and was in so much pain I couldn't cry or hardly breathe.

Everyone on the train thought I was just being an over reactive child with a stomach ache until I passed out (from pain) and turned blue. It was only then that an air medic was called. I just remember waking up in a small hospital to find out I’d just been operated on. I still felt awful as I’d started to go septic. I’ve often hear that kidney stones can feel similar depending on size and such so I just pray that I never experience them again! I never want to feel that again 🥴

    Bear with me…I was standing in line at the bank with two people ahead of me. Out of nowhere I starting sweating and then a slow steady feeling of a dull knife pushing slowly through my back, through my body core and up to the right front near the appendix as the pain intensified it continued to get stronger to the point I fell to my knees and passed out from the pain. I woke up with the medics putting me on the gurney as the pain was still radiating to the maximum. They couldn’t give me pain meds because they didn’t know the cause. A cat scan showed I had a 10mm jagged shaped stone stuck in my ureter trying to escape my kidney. It was too large to pass. So, fortunately this hospital had a lithotripsy unit that uses ultrasound waves to blast and pulverize the stone into basically sand and then you pass it through your bladder. I’ve passed a few smaller ones in the years since but I have never experienced pain on a scale of that magnitude and I hope none of you ever experience one tenth of that pain.

    I’ve had stones 3 times. When I went in the nurse tending to me said she feels for me as she’s had kids and stones, and having the stones was so much worse than having kids. That tune has so many nerve endings it’s almost like punishment! Btw, don’t mess around, IV based dilaudid takes the pain away immediately!! They tried 3 other meds, when they landed on this I felt like I literally could sit up and walk home. Prior to that I was unable to open my eyes as the pain was so intense. Oh, and cause of stones was traced back to take a one a day vitamin. I was in mid 30s, and thought it was time to take a daily vitamin for health. Turns out, all it did was deposit a massive amount of mineral deposits in the kidney for stones to build up.
