I generally laugh at home remedies, because I feel like the billions spent on medical research would confirm or deny them, BUT my friend suffered for three weeks with a kidney stone. Pain so bad they had him on morphine. He was scheduled for lithotripsy (ultrasound breaking up), but last week he started a vinegar-drinking regimen, and within two days passed huge amounts of flakes and the stone was gone. What the heck? Sounds to me like it worked. The doc pooh-poohed it, but admitted the stone was gone. What the heck?

I got my 1st kidney stone today!!! Looking forward to more. It hurt when the stone traveled from the kidney to the bladder. My question is…

How much does it hurt when the stone leaves the bladder and comes out in the toilet?
Let me just add this…

I was doubled over in the fetal position while driving my car down the freeway, I thought my appendix burst and I was going to die. No joke. I made it to the ER and he pumped me full of some painkiller equal to morphine. No that it’s in my bladder the anticipation of that pain with no "Super" pain killers is almost terrifying. All he gave was 10 percosets (SP.)

Thanks

My mother was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma a few weeks ago, she has an 11.6 centimeter mass on her left kidney. She was hospitalized last weekend because they gave her morphine for pain, it dropped her blood pressure extemely low. That is when we found out the cancer had spread to other organs (liver,pancreas, lymph nodes and stomach) the doctors said she would only make it a few weeks to a month. That is when I looked into this cancer center, her insurance has been approved and they want to schedule her flight asap. I just want to know if anyone out there has had good results with ctca? I have a friend who goes with her mother who had breast cancer metasis to her liver and bone who goes to ctca and she said they were great. Are they as wonderful as my friends mom says?
My mom is also doing better now, she’s home from the hospital and she’s not as weeks and she’s eating . My mom says she’s ready to fight this.

I went to the ER with severe pain in my right kidney area. The pain was very intense and migrated to my groin area. After the ER Doc filled me with morphine and I woke from a quick nap I have had no pain since then. I am wondering if this was even kidney stones or something else.

I had all the symptoms of a kidney stone including the excruciating pain and it felt like something was moving out "down there" but the pain all stopped (after 2 hours and lots of morphine) before I ever urinated. This was a first time for me so I’m a little confused. Thanks.
