Have you tried riding rollercoasters with kidney stones?
Apparently some people did a study and found that it can be effective at passing kidney stones. Was in news last year https://www.ems1.com/medical-clinical/articles/129734048-Study-Riding-roller-coasters-can-dislodge-kidney-stones/ https://www.ems1.com/medical-clinical/articles/129734048-Stu...
They also said it's good as preventative measure (dislodging before they get too big).
- MrFantastic 10y agoI would think a trampoline would work even better.
- jnwatson 10y agoRoller coasters have vibrations that trampolines don't.
- erikpukinskis 10y agoWhy?
- rm_-rf_slash 10y agoSomeday in a glorious future doctors will prescribe rollercoaster rides.
- alextheparrot 10y agoI wonder if certain professions have a lower incidence of kidney stones, which can be linked to exposure to G forces or vibrational forces applied (Pilot, truck driver, etc.). That'd be an interesting occupational health study (When controlling for all other occupational factors).
- notadoc 10y agoThat's interesting. I would bet rollercoasters could be as or more effective as tylenol for milder pain too, at least while you're distracted and pumped full of endorphins.
