I'm gonna go see the doc tomorrow, but it sounds like that's what I got according to Wikipedia, sharp pains in the kidney area that resonate right down to my right nut. I hope it's just a pinched nerve or something but the dietary things that lead to it are definitely in my diet.

So, if it is in fact a stone, any advice? Or has anyone ever had the type of pains I'm describing and it wasn't a stone?

    Dont eat a lot of calcium enriched foods. The doctor told me to drink cranberry juice to help keep the stones from forming

    This is from Wikipedia:

    Dietary factors that increase the risk of stone formation include low fluid intake, and high dietary intake of animal protein, sodium, refined sugars, oxalate, grapefruit juice, apple juice, and cola drinks.[7]

    Did you go see a doctor or just tough it out on your own? And is there any pills or anything that can make the pain not as crazy. Also, after you ? it out, how long until the pain went away?

    What you want to do is drink warm water and cranberry juice. Make sure it is the 100 percent cranberry juice and not the Hybrid juice drink stuff. The properties in CJ help dissolve the stones. But you must eliminate meat, cheeses or any animal by-product that is high in protein and other potentially uric crystal forming foods from your diet until the stone is passed.

    Try it for a few days.

    I just had Kidney Stones last night and I wanted to die. That was the worst pain I have ever had in my life. The doc said the pain can be more painful than childbirth or gunshot wounds. It was unbearable. It happened to me about 2 weeks ago also but bot as bad as last night. The first time I just thought it was a stomach ache.

    Honestly not as good as it should be. I rarely eat because I am so busy with work. I never seem to have time for breakfast and lunch so I usually just eat dinner. When I do eat I try to eat somewhat healthy, salads, turkey, chicken, fish, veggies. And not too much fried foods. Io do drink too much soda so I am stoppping that right now. I don't drink nowhere near enough water. My wife just recently got me drinking Smartwater so io keep a cold bottle in the fridge. But man I don't ever want to feel that pain again so I am about to change some ? . Doc told me I have a bunch more in my right kidney and there is no telling when they are going to come out. I am fearing any kind of pain in my stomach and going to ? .

    Thanks guys, I appreciate the feedback, even if it's scary as ? . I'm starting to think that might not be what it is but I'm waiting to hear back on the ? test. I haven't heard anything since I dropped it off on Monday, which is a good sign, they say no news is good news. I might have just aggravated a nerve while having sex or playing ball or jerking off. I dunno, it's starting to feel a better but it went away before and came back. It's been feeling better since I started drinking more water and eating more lean, maybe it's not a stone but just my kidney hurting a little bit.. I wish I just knew what it was.
