anyone else ever have a kidney stone?
i have multiples. luckily they aren't large. i think the largest is 2.7mm, and had started when i went to urgent care. it's taking a while for them to pass though, it's been two weeks. it can take up to 4.
tell me about your kidney stones. how to prevent them. how badly did yours hurt? etc.

I think I've got some very very minor ones. I'm on creatine and drink maybe a gallon of water a day.

how much creatine a day?
drink more.
>>35396727
Drink water and water only. 1 gallon/day MINIMUM. Start taking vitamin c supplements. Lots of them. when stones are gone, stop the vitamin c or just go to one dose in the morning, continue with gallon/day.

any long term damage from one bout of kidney stones? relatively small at that.
Had one when I was 15, I'm 21 now. Never felt so much pain before. My mom, who has had a c-section and normal pregnancy , says her stone was far more painful than giving birth. It didn't hurt my dick at all, but felt like getting stabbed repeatedly on the inside. I got it from simply eating too many high sodium foods and rarely drinking water. This anon in the thread recommending vitamins is being foolish. Vitamins and minerals, taken in excess, will accumulate and form stones. A sedentary lifestyle can increase risk as well, since movement breaks up the formations. Once in a while I still get hard little yellow jello stones in my cum, but I don't feel them. Never told a doctor about it.

wat?
I had a co-worker who had them. He thought he was dying and called an ambulance.
Luckily for him they passed quickly. He was instructed to drink less soda. Something about calcium absorption.
Workplace installed free soda fountains a week after. Funny in a morbid sort of way. Like we really needed even larger fatasses in an office environment.

Really?

Minerals such as calcium certainly will, especially with inadequate fluid consumption. While there has been a link found between excess Vitamin C intake and kidney stones, the relationship is not clear.
It should be noted that other vitamins will straight up poison you if you consume too much, however. Vitamin A can be especially toxic, but D and K can also do harm.
On the plus side, unless you eat a metric shitload of liver that won't happen outside of supplement overdoses.

Woops, I made a mistake. I meant Vitamin E, not K.
