I don't find they, at least the three I've passed, as particularly painful. It's more like an intense discomfort. I find myself in a cycle of pacing, laying down and sitting (mostly on the toilet, you feel like you have to pee constantly). It's like discomfort limbo.
- qup 4y agoBased on everyone else I've ever spoken with who had kidney stones (about six people), your experience is unusual. Several have described it as the worst experience of their life, including one who has it recur a couple of times per year.
- sleepybrett 4y agoIt's possible that I've been very lucky, but I also have a pretty high pain threshold when it comes to other things... I blew my Achilles and walked around on it for days thinking I sprained an ankle. I will admit to an almost altered state of consciousness while passing a stone though that might have been tied to not really being able to sleep for days.
- lll-o-lll 4y agoI think you’ve just been lucky. For me this was like being kicked in the balls. Except continually, for five days straight. It’s organ pain, the worst of pains. My doctor said that research had shown it to be worse than birth pains (although my wife vehemently disagrees with this). Intense discomfort doesn’t begin to describe it.
