owwwww
well everyone, yesterday i was pretty much in the emergency room all day. for this stabbing pain in my abdomen. they thought it was at first appendicitis, but it turns out that it's a kidney stone. cool. so i'm still in pain and i have to wait to pass it.. ahh!!
A kidney stone attack has classic symptoms: the most agonizing pain in the lower back just below the ribs spreading around to the front of the abdomen and often extending into the groin area. The pain may come in waves as the stone tries to move through the tube between the kidney and the bladder (the ureter). Sometimes there will be blood in the urine. Often there is nausea, fever and chills, and vomiting. The abdomen or lower back may be painful to touch.
The severity of the pain is no indicator of the size of the passing kidney stone. This pain is often described as the worst pain a person has ever suffered even by women who have given birth. It is reported to be more painful than gun shots, surgery, broken bones, or even burns. The pain is not a result of the stone moving or tearing the ureter as a sufferer might suspect. Rather, the pain is caused by the dilating or stretching of the urinary tract being blocked by the stone when it gets stuck in the ureter.
yeah, fun stuff. but um, ive just been home, drugged up and sleeping. hopefully ill pee out this motherfucker soon so i can get back to my normal life!! I feel like a vegetable.
