I’ve suffered from kidney stones off and on for years. Here’s what helps. Make sure you’re drinking enough water. 2 gallons per day minimum. If your pee isn’t clear, you’re not drinking enough. I add flavor packets to mine to make it more palatable. I carry a water bottle with me all day. Went from an attack once a month to once a year. Mix pain meds. It’s perfectly healthy. Don’t take 800 mg of ibuprofen. Take a normal dose of ibuprofen (200 mg) and a normal dose of tylenol. Then tylenol and naproxen. Then naproxen and aspirin. Rotate them so you don’t get a megadose of any one. Each time take one that treats pain and one that treats pain and inflammation. A low dose of multiple drugs works way better than a large dose of just one. You’ll find yourself taking a lot less medicine overall and you won’t be in as much pain. Buy an electic heating pad and apply it to your lower back as soon as the symptoms start. Hope this helps.
