    How miserable. Sorry you went through this.

    Kidney stone?

      Wow. While I had some knee pain, it was better than that. I had a doctor recently tell me that taking a gram of Tylenol was very effective and safe as long as you don't take more than 6 grams a day. Essentially 1 gram is like 5 tablets. All I had was the time release 8 hour ones, so I took three of them twice today. Worked pretty well.

      Hope it does not come back. Sounds like a pinched nerve maybe?

        Wow, I didn't even think of this . . . no idea. It is kind of amazing that something could hurt this bad and then a nap later, be gone like it never happened.

        Thanks to all for all the good strokes. 🙂

          I've had two. Both of them started with a general feeling of "unwellness." Just feeling "off." Over the next hour a kind of crampy back pain that migrated to the front. Nausea. No comfortable position. Writhe around in bed. Finally fall asleep in mid morning. Two hours later, all gone.

          I've seen hundreds of people with kidney stones, and that's a pretty typical story.

          Keep an eye on your urine and see if anything passes. It might be so small that you'll miss it. Something as small as 2mm can be missed easily. Also, something as small as 2mm can cause some real discomfort.

            Criminy. That is almost exactly the same progression. Except mine started with an abrupt pain with no preceding unwellness.

            Plus, I've been on my own case for a long time about not drinking enough water.

                  I've had one. They hurt. Bad.

                  The wife has had several. Two had to be retrieved by a GU doc. One procedure led to pyelonephritis.

                  I promise you, you don't want to go there.

                  I don't know if there is a hard and fast rule about when to seek treatment for a kidney stone. Most folks pass them, but like my wife, some are too big and require intervention.

                        @jon-nyc All better, thanks! It felt like a miracle, waking up from a nap and being normal and pain free.

                                        Hope you are still feeling well

                                        Thanks, TG; yes, I am. I had another episode two days later, at about 80% pain and duration, but after that it has remained disappeared. Thank god.

                                        @Catseye3 sounding more and more like a stone moving down.

                                        Keep hydrated and keep the urine flowing.

                                        There are medical ways to treat a kidney stone that don't involve anything physical. Flomax can help relax the ureter and help the stone pass.

                                        If it recurs, consider getting in touch with your doc.

                                        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                          A good friend's daughter just got out of the hospital. A tummy bug had been going through her family, so when she started with lower abdominal pain, that's what she thought it was. But the pain worsened, she became febrile and then she became very sick.

                                          By the time she presented to the ED and was diagnosed with a stone too big to pass, she was septic, her BUN and Creatinine was elevated and even her liver enzymes were up. IV antibiotics, painkillers, a stent and three days in the hospital got her turned around, but she was sent home with the stent and a return date of three weeks from now.

                                          Kidney stones are not to be ignored. They won't let you.
