I tried flying tonight while trying to pass a kidney stone. Did not do too well. I was trying to get my mind off the searing pain for a bit, but it didn't work. I was easy prey the few sorties I flew. This is the 3rd stone I've ever had. The doc says it's 3mm & I'll be able to pass it whenever it feels like coming out. The last one I had was stuck up near my kidney & they had to go up and pull it out with a little claw. You can guess which body opening they used to go up & get it. Thank Gawd I was asleep for that one. It's been 5 years. I'd forgotten how bad these suckers hurt! (http://s18.postimg.org/rmmzl4wwl/sad0049.gif) (http://postimage.org/)

I feel for ya bro. My Dad is a kidney stone makin machine! Thankfully I didn't get that gene from him. I've been around him enough when it's happened to him to just be glad it hasn't happened to me <knock on wood>. I think one of the Lithotripters is named for him LOL.
Hope it passes.

Believe it or not beer helps prevent kidney stone agony. From what I have heard it forces the kidneys to work overtime and this helps flush kidney stones out when they are small enough to pass without notice.

Are they Food related? I thought maybe too much calcium intake could cause them? My brother sweared off milk after getting a few stones. I never have had one. (knock on wood) :D
