Hey Boo (Kidney Stones)


Panthro

Recommended Posts

I've seen these things bring a grown man to his knees. *praying i dont have to deal with it* What are they giving you Boo? hydrocodone?

Yes sir. Only thing that sucks is if you let the pain get ahead of you, it takes a while for these to kick in. So if you are already hurting when you take it, its gonna take about an hour to get you out of pain. Meanwhile the pain intensifies while you are waiting for the pk to kick in.

Horrible pain.

At least I'm getting a little taste of what giving birth will be like. yay?

This may be a dumb question but what causes the stones?

This is all based on what I have read. Honestly don't remember what they told me at the ER I was so fd up

Doctors do not always know what causes a stone to form. While certain foods may promote stone formation in people who are susceptible, scientists do not believe that eating any specific food causes stones to form in people who are not susceptible.

A person with a family history of kidney stones may be more likely to develop stones. Urinary tract infections, kidney disorders such as cystic kidney diseases, and certain metabolic disorders such as hyperparathyroidism are also linked to stone formation.

In addition, more than 70 percent of people with a rare hereditary disease called renal tubular acidosis develop kidney stones.

Cystinuria and hyperoxaluria are two other rare, inherited metabolic disorders that often cause kidney stones. In cystinuria, too much of the amino acid cystine, which does not dissolve in urine, is voided, leading to the formation of stones made of cystine. In patients with hyperoxaluria, the body produces too much oxalate, a salt. When the urine contains more oxalate than can be dissolved, the crystals settle out and form stones.

Hypercalciuria is inherited, and it may be the cause of stones in more than half of patients. Calcium is absorbed from food in excess and is lost into the urine. This high level of calcium in the urine causes crystals of calcium oxalate or calcium phosphate to form in the kidneys or elsewhere in the urinary tract.

Other causes of kidney stones are hyperuricosuria, which is a disorder of uric acid metabolism; gout; excess intake of vitamin D; urinary tract infections; and blockage of the urinary tract. Certain diuretics, commonly called water pills, and calcium-based antacids may increase the risk of forming kidney stones by increasing the amount of calcium in the urine.

Calcium oxalate stones may also form in people who have chronic inflammation of the bowel or who have had an intestinal bypass operation, or ostomy surgery. As mentioned earlier, struvite stones can form in people who have had a urinary tract infection. People who take the protease inhibitor indinavir, a medicine used to treat HIV infection, may also be at increased risk of developing kidney stones.

I have a history of kidney/bladder infections, so that makes sense.

Ive also heard drinking a lot of soda and dairy may lead to them.

yup, at least in childbirth they can hook you up with the good stuff. I'm sure you know this but if you mix that hydrocodone with a few beers and you'll really be feeling it.

O yeah. done and done.

Add a bowl or two in there and you've got yourself a pretty damn good night:D

Good to know. I think I've finally kicked my soda habit so I'm feeling good about that.

Calcium based antacids though, might have to cut back on those and start taking pepcid again.

Thanks Boo, and I really hope you feel better soon.

I've had countless stones. 2 lithotripsies, 1 lasered and another one that the stupid doctor tried a basket retrieval on and pushed it back into my kidney, ( freaking nightmare).

I've had every drug none and Diluad {sp} was easily the best hands down they could have removed stone by cutting me open and I wouldn't have cared.

It hurts when it moves in your kidney but the real pain is when it is traveling down the uretha , it has a tendency to get hung up and the uretha gets smaller as it gets closer to your bladder.

Good news is once it passes into your bladder pain is over of course you'll pee it out next and to me that ain't no big deal feels strange but not any real pain.

Just be careful drinking too much alcohol, if that sucker hangs up and puts you in the floor throwing up you'll be at the ER soon. ( no pain medicine you have will help) And I don't know if they'll be real quick to morphine ya up if they smell alcohol and you appear drunk.

Good Luck

THAT's the name of the stuff they gave me at the hospital! I couldn't remember it and kept saying demerol but I knew that wasn't it. O yeah, that was the only stuff that worked for me and it still took like 10 mins to reach my kidneys. The first stuff she gave me was nothing. It made my head feel awesome but I was still in pain.

    • Would be happy with Lomu or Iheanachor at 19. Fano is intriguing but I don't think he makes it.
    • II see it this way: We have to look at long-term needs and current depth.  We have filled some key spots with players on one-year contracts.  I firmly believe that they intend to pay Bryce some big bucks next year.  That means you cannot hope that your rookies in 2027 can fill the spots vacated by the veterans you could not afford to re-sign.   We need to consider the cap and the fact that the need to start a rookie is not viewed as a positive by coaches and general managers, but they value first contracts--so it is a delicate balance. I think they have to look at the cap by position--"Can we afford a $50m QB and a $100m OL?  That is half the cap, before you pay your WRs and RBs and TEs.  They need to start getting younger on the OL as well.   I am not suggesting that we draft OT in round 1, but we could and I would get it.  RT on a 1-year deal, they may have intel about Ickey (who was not the best LT, to be honest) and 32-year old Moton is on a bad wheel.   Now if you go by Morgan's history, you can almost tell what position we are going to address with the first pick by noting the positions he has not focused on in free agency.  DT, considering the lack of performance by those not named Derrick Brown and the loss of Robinson, is screaming to be addressed with a top player.  Wharton is not an early down DT (DE if you want to get technical) and our LBs need to be clean--they were not in 2025.  Look for a DT early. I also think we will address ILB (pass covering Will) on day 2.  The other day 2 pick will be an OT, in my view. Do not rule out CB.  We are thin there too, and Jackson is in his final year.  I am not sure that we love Smith-Wade.  Some crackhead on here talked about moving him to S----stay tuned.   Hopefully, a team wanting Ty Simpson will move up and offer us a pick or two to move back. DT WILB OT OC QB  (you heard it here 337th--but this pick could come sooner than you think.      
    • Bryce had some bad games, but he had some good ones as well (and this is coming from a Bryce skeptic). I think it's a little simplistic to put all the offensive woes on Bryce, you also should be looking at O-line play, receiver play, RB and TE play, and also coaching. There's no way when I look at the offense in it's totality am I ready to say that a so-so to bad offense was all on Bryce, and, I also can't say that we don't need to upgrade any position on offense, save Tetairoa McMillan (who also wasn't perfect) and maybe the starting guards and T-mo.
