2. Indeed.

And while I should say that's not what most kidneystones look like...

that is what they all feel like.

3. I hope those were surgically removed!

If those are yours, I feel for you! I've passed a kidney stone every couple of years for the past 20. Here's the last one I passed and my GP and urologist both thought it was quite large. Usually, they are the size of a large grain of sand and still the pain is unbelievable!!

4. Good god no.

It ain't mine.

5. Thankfully, no doubt!

I don't think it would be possible to pass that without serious rupture to the ureters.

6. Whatever poor bastard grew that...

Either had surgery or wound up like that guy in Alien.

7. damn. having a baby without drugs hurts less than a kidney stone

worst pain ever. And mine was eensy teeny compared to that monster. That must be what a staghorn kidney stone looks like. Major ouch

9. You're not kidding.

I needed the surgery to get rid of my second one. It was a bit bigger than a chickpea with sharp edges on it.

I can't imagine having one in me long enough for it to get that big. :scared:

The only time I ever saw my dad cry.

And he cried a LOT.
