Literally recovering from one right now...went to ER
last Friday at 1 in the morning when the pain woke me up. Second time I've had them. Worst pain I have ever had and that's coming from someone that's had broken bones in my arm as a teen and partially cut a finger off at work. Kidney stones are the worst!
My husband gets them regularly. He has been told to cut out the salty meat and drink more water, yet his diet contains a lot of smokies and root beer. Approximately every two years he is in the ER with the pain from the stones.
Omg! This is my husband too! Every 2 years like clockwork, he doesn't eat meat though and they don't know why it keeps happening. Docs suggested they remove the kidney that was producing stones. He denied saying he'd rather have 2 kidneys and kidney stones than 1 kidney incase something went wrong with it.
Turned out to be a good decision because 2yrs later he got kidney stones again - in the opposite kidney. They now both produce kidney stones.

You have yet to have a kidney stone yes ? That is good.
