This sucks… I have terrible heartburn right now. I feel like my throat is full of a burning sour thickness. I have been drinking water and took two Zantac and it hasn’t helped at all. Are there any natural remedies I can try since I already took a double dose of medicine?

P.S. The heartburn is caused from taking too much pain relievers recently. I am under treatment for kidney stones, which are very painful and the only medicine that helps is Advil but it tears my stomach up. I am laying off of the pain medicine for now but how can I make this feel better?!

I’m passinga kidney stone – have passed them for 13 years – since I was about 24. Anyway, this one is a painful son of a gun…..and it’s near the ‘final frontier’ – just wondering if you have any advice as to how to get it out. I am drinking lots and lots of water….and I have been doing my normal morning workouts….but it’s quite achey……and in the past, Doc’s have told me that ‘movement’ is key – so walking, exercise, etc is good, if you can do it.

I do think I have a pretty high threshold for pain……but the gnawing pain is really getting old.

The largest stone I’ve ever passed is the size of half of an Advil…..which is pretty big…..and I’m concerned that this one is larger…..

I’m an old pro with it comes to passing kidney stones, but if you have any advice, I’m all ears (or eyes since we’re reading it here.)
When I was going through chemotherapy (Jan-July 2007) I was taking Allopurinol…..and I must admit, while it’s a good chemo-for-cancer drug, it is also used to eliminate the formation of kidney stones/gout. Anyway, I felt that during that time, my kidneys felt great….no pain at all. Not sure why doc didn’t prescribe this for me….but I think once this/these pass, I’ll have to go and have it prescribed…..I can’t live like this…

I just had eight spacers put in my mouth yesterday (for a week before I get braces) and the pain is absolutely EXCRUCIATING. I can’t even eat soft foods like bananas without being in overwhelming pain. To be honest, the only pain that compares to this was urinary tract infection and a kidney stone I had. Yesterday, I could eat anything even though it felt a tad strange. Today, I can’t even eat soft foods like bananas. I’ve taken Advil, Tylenol, and Ibuprofen today and the pain hasn’t gone away or been relieved at all. I’m also starving, my diet is going to subsist of Jello pudding and Jamba Juice for the next week.

How can I relieve this horrible pain? I can’t even sleep it is so bad. What mushy foods do you suggest for eating?

I have a UTI and I wanted to get treatment right away, BUT it has taken me almost a week to find a free urgent care place to go to (I have Medicaid and there were no doctors in my area which would accept my plan) and I am going to go tomorrow morning, the only problem is I experienced severe back pain yesterday and although it seems to have dissipated, I have had a pretty bad headache all day today, I keep having to take more and more Advil for it.

My actual UTI has gotten better due to massive intake of cranberry juice, not all better but it hardly burns at all when I urinate and I have less need to urinate in-between the times I am using the restroom. But from reading posts here and other places, you need antibiotics to fully cure this, so I am off tomorrow to get some.

So my question is, with the back pain and (possible) fever is it now for sure a kidney infection???? I really cannot afford a hospital stay. Which I have read may be necessary.
