This reminds me of a guy I used to work with; said he never drink water, hated drinking water and always consumed soft drinks instead. Then he would periodically complain about his kidney stones.

Good luck. Drink alot of water.
About the time I read your title I started hurting. Pretty sure I have one moving and I leave tomorrow on a week long vacation. Hope this one does not require any pain meds/er visit...beer may flush it relatively easily.
ETA: Kidney stones can hurt alot or not much at all. If it is too small to measure most likely you will be good with the meds they gave you. (largest stone I have passed is 4mm. I have had a 9mm, and 2 10 mm stones crushed)
I also have a brother that has 6 he knows needs to be crushed.

3 weeks ago I had to go to the ER for one. 2nd one I've had. First one I had the pain was severe but it dropped within an hour. The last one was absolute horror. After 3 hours it hadn't dropped to the bladder so I went to the ER. Torodal and morphine helped but it was still unpleasant. 2mm stone.
The pain was so intense I was nauseated and throwing up. Where it was located he told me to drink water until it drops and gave me a script for flomax and Tylenol 3. So I started drinking water and lemon juice. I stopped taking that flomax after one time. The side effects were unpleasant. When it passed I was a little freaked out. My urine color was some color not normally found in nature.
If you have one, you have my sympathy. It truly is one miserable experience.

For me the pain came in waves over a two week period with the worst happening right in the middle as it moved into the ureter. 12 pain pills were not enough for me to get through that weekend. I found a urologist who saw me a few days later and gave me another script. Luckily females have it easier towards the end. Good luck to you.

The 4 mm stone I passed was unreal difficult. I was pissing slivers of tissue for 24 hours before passing it.
Still does not compare to the time I had to remove a stint myself at home.

Oof! The recovery and problems I had after having my daughter was worst than passing mine. But it was still a bitch. Hate to think about how that feels for men but I'm pretty sure I have a good idea.

Thanks bush.
Anybody that goes through that pain needs all the sympathy they can get.

I have had so many I lost count...have some funny stories with some.
Spending half a Disney vacation in the room while the wife took the kids to the park.
Best story, wife went into labor with our first. On the way to the hospital a stone hits me hard. I pull up to the ER, get her taken care of and I let them know what is happening. I wake up on the baby floor in my wifes room and they had stopped her labor. lol.
She was not happy.

I've had two.
Dry heaving in the ER waiting room from the pain. Luckily they were both just small enough to pass on my own.
My second one they wanted a urine sample to confirm. Peeing wasn't exactly easy, but I found a way after the threat of a catheter. Crafty nurses with their threats of shoving a rubber tube up the peehole, quite the motivator.

Is that a stone or a 12mm cockle burr?

Woke up one night at 3 am to pee. Got back in bed but had a dull pain in my abdomen. It kept getting worse and worse. It was like getting a cramp, but you can't do anything about it. I drove myself to the ER. Imagine the condition of the floor of an ER and then picture me in a fetal position on that floor chewing on that carpet. The doc was pissed no one told him as he would have given me something for the pain. Mine was caused by taking far too much Vitamin C. He encouraged me to drink pure lemon juice. The pain is caused by the stone is moving.

Pretty much what happened to me. I went to sleep with a dull pain in my back. I thought I tweaked a muscle or something. Then I woke up around 6 am and could barely breathe and threw up a couple of times. First time so I didn't know what was wrong so I staggered to the doctor and then spent a night in the hospital and passed that bad boy. Morphine is pretty cool.

i feel your pain man - I have had 9 since 2000, 1 of which they had to go in and remove, 3 I passed on business trips. 1 attack on a flight into DFW, which i passed int he bathroom upon landing, 2 at client locations - of which one got stuck coming out, and I had to pull it out - was about an 1/8th inches long.
good luck man - those things are the devil.

I kept asking for water to produce such a sample, but they were impatient. I therefore uttered the words one should NEVER say in a hospital: "Do what you have to do".

Had one in 2012. Misery. Didn't get good pain meds for a few days. Throwing up and all the rest. Here is what finally came out:
All of the pain pills basically shut down my GI system and I had to take a bunch of laxatives to get it fired up again. Honestly that pain was almost as much as the stone moving.
Started feeling stone pain again last night...not excited to put it mildly.
