Passing a kidney stone. Any tips for when the medicine is too weak?

There is a legit amazing nerve-fooling trick that happens when you let water run over your lower back. Your brain starts prioritizing impulses from the surface, I guess. I spent half the day in the shower when I had mine.

But you do need the groovy drugs anyway. Kidney stones aren’t dangerous in of themselves, but the pain will fuck you up. I’ve never seen my blood pressure as high as it was when the Vicodin proved insufficient and I tried to tough it out for a day (mine has always been rock solid). You’ve got to get the pain management situation under control, or you’ll age five years in a week.

Drink plenty of water to flush it through.

You got any painkillers at all?

Drink plenty of fluids, it will help flush it out. Tylenol or ibuprofen if not allergic...better than nothing.

Ugh. I get kidney stones too. 😢

Plenty of water. Lemon is acid which helps if calcium stone. If no opioid, the mix of tylenol and ibuprofen (1 each)... each cuts pain differently. Dont overdo tylenol. MG might help since it interacts with CA in body.

It’s horrible, I feel for you. My doctor issued me with large supositries style pain killers until I had them ‘shot’ externally. Then you have to pass the pieces that takes a day or three.

Two ounces each of lemon juice and olive oil, taken several times a day till the stones pass.

I think any doctor would understand 'morphine' if you can manage to get to one.
I feel for you. Take care.

I have heard beer works too, pee a lot and a bit of a painkiller.

Lots of water and keep moving, walking around.
It may pass.
