Passing a kidney stone. Any tips for when the medicine is too weak?
Unfortunately, there's no English speaking doctor nearby and I'm in too much pain to travel far.
Anyone got any tips?

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.

@QuixoticSoul I completely understand this. I've been sitting up for the last two nights crying, sweating, and rocking. It. Hurts! It really hurts. I want to cry thinking about it. Right now, I'm drugged up, so I should sleep, but I know it'll be back. I know the pain is going to hit me again.
Thank you :)
