I had quite the experience last week. Woke up at 3:00am screaming from a pain in my side like someone had inserted a red hot poker into me and started playing with my insides.
Wife drives me to the hospital and admitting says "one a scale of 1 to 10...) TEN!!!!!!! TEN!!!!! TEN!!!!!!! TEN!!!!!
OMG! Never imagined a kidney stone could be so painful. One of the worst parts was 25 minutes after my second shot of morphine and they give me some pills and tell me to go home and pass it. Talk about fear. "Wahahahahw what about when the morph wears off?" I ask the doc. He says, "take these pills. There are 2 days worth". As soon as I get in the passenger seat of the car, I open the pill pack and down one. The, I read the label which says "take 1-2 pills every 6 - 12 hours". Two days my ass, doc only gave me 6 pills.
Stone moved a bit and the day wasn't too bad (about like being punched in the kidney every 5 - 10 rather than kicked by a horse in the kidney continuously) but that night pain hit 12. Hospital time again and morphine for 7 hours. Next day, they pull it out the same way you are suppose to pass it.
I will always view pain in a different light now.
