Sitting in a hot tub of water helped me relieve the spasms for a while.

I'm with you, brother. Although I've never had a kidney stone, I have Crohn's disease and sometimes it hurts just feeling something move inside you. Hope everything goes OK.

Been there, done that. It's overrated.

Good luck, pal. The good news is it's only pain. You can't really do any real damage, so just use mind over matter techniques and do what has to be done.

I'd restate that post if I were you.

No, beer. I am serious about this.

Really? Am I wrong? You're the doc. I'm just a kindly old victim of the same condition.

About not doing any damage. A complete obstruction is considered at the very least, an urgent condition that requires surgical intervention. BTW, I had a kidney stone too.

You don't drink the beer for the alcoholic content but for the increased urine output. That helps pass the stone.

I'm sure your advice is better than mine.

I will, however, diagnose the cause of this agony. It's all that high calcium liberalism he's been ingesting. Goes straight to the kidneys.

I am taking oxycodone so i didn't think i should drink beer or whiskey

I meant once it starts to pass stay with it.

LOL.

I'm a little surprised that your urologist didn't recommend some beer.

Increased urine can help pass the stone.

How are you today?

Hang in there I had one several years ago it was very painful.
