Anyone ever had kidney stones?

I woke in the early hours with terrible pain. Could not settle get comfortable however I stood, sat, lay curled, walked. I was ill too whic relived the pain slightly.
I went to work but had booked a Doctor's appointment for 5.30. The pain had eased off, but because I had booked an appointment I went as the pain was really bad this morning.
And the Doctor said she thinks Kidney stones   I have to take a water sample in tomorrow morning. They will send it off and if it comes back clear of infection then she will book me an appointment for an XRay to establish Kidney stones.  

Not sure what happens then,

Oh I have antibiotics just in case its a simple kidney infection. But she seemed certain it was kidney stones.

I knew somebody who had them and she was often in terrible pain :(
She had them removed surgically in the end as they were too big to dissolve or pass through if I remember.

Hope that the pain eases soon

My brother had them and was in terrible pain :(  he had them zapped with a laser a few years ago and he was fine afterwards :)

My BIL had them zapped with lasors last week and is fine now!!:-D

I had one years ago and thought I was dying. It was the worst experience of my life. I could have popped out 6 kids in place no problem.

I can't even describe the pain but it came on over a couple hours at it's worse I was screaming the place down. ( no kidding) I was eventually as good as knocked out with diamorphine. It was finally disolved via Ultrasound type lazering.

Never came back but if I ever get a tweak of pain the same area I pray :-)
