DOOD. The pain from those things is likened to childbirth...
I have had one tiny baby one and that hurt like hell.We have a family history of them and all I remember from my childhood is either my Poppa or my Dad doubled over in pain and getting shots to help.
I am sending so much healing for you...get better soon... and wicked picture!! LOL

ouuuch!! just looking at that picture causes great pain in me
best best wishes from over here although I'm afraid it won't take the pain
so sorry for that silly question, Malcolm, but what exactly is one doing with a kidney stone after "giving birth" to it? are you supposed to give it to a doctor? or do you just keep it (now that's the rather silly question I suppose
)?/e: ah ok, so it has to be analyzed

That's an outright lie that medical professionals spread for their own amusement. Either that or a man made it up.
I've had both, and Valura, it's so much worse than childbirth I can't even begin to tell you. I had one about 4 years ago and I would *much* rather have ten more babies than one more of those.
Dead serious.
How odd they didn't ask you to keep it Mal. I had to, they gave me a little potty seat with a net in it and everything. lol
Mine was protien based, but my dad's was calcium based.
Either way, they sucks massive rocks (pun intended).
Sorry you have to go through that Mal. Word of advice, Vicodin makes the pain, and everything else, go away

I keep telling people that but they always say that I don't have kids, so I can't say. I met a woman with kids with larger heads and heavier birthweights, said she'd rather go into labor again any day
I get little tiny k/s often.
sorry to hear you had to go thru that Malcolm

in high school a guy who had his legs crushed by a boulder and amputated came in and gave a talk, a kid in my class asked if he kept his legs.

Dear Lord/ Jim,
Please can you fix it for Malcolm to never again piss rocks.
Thanks,

I always assumed women made stuff like that up, so they could call men wusses- after all, they're never going to really find out if you're lying..
Whichever way.. Ow. Hope they can get it fixed, even if collecting a few for matching jewellery would be sort of cool..

crikey. ouch. so where does it hurt actually? in the kidney region when or along the exit bit? Or all of it? I'm trying to visualise there the most nerve endings are but its getting rude rather than medical. And for how long? Please explain.

newgabe - it hurts in the kidney as long as it blocks the tract, then it hurts it all the way down and finally when it scratches forward through the final urinal tract, because at some times you have to wank it out...
no there ain't anything pleasurable in it... because yupp, it has a "lotus surface"... meaning, it's eternally ROUGH... 
As a man we can't really take the distinction what is more painful, childbirth or kidneystone... the girls can. Certainly the result gives different satisfaction to the parent in the long run.
Also their origins are vastly different... I'd sign up to prepare the former... the latter comes from not drinking enough (water that is) (*insert dodgy joke about the former sometimes originating from drinking too much (alcohol)*) and not giving enough space for the body to remove toxins... hmmm, when thinking about it... there are different kinds of kidney stones, I was referring to the Calcite ones...
Besides: Malcolm

Newgabe, from the girl perspective (since it's the only perspective I can give) mine started like a bad lower back ache. I thought I pulled something. That went on for three days until I could barely straighten up. Then the third day is when I started throwing up and couldn't stop, and spiked a fever. I went to the emergency room and got morphine and a vicodin prescription.
Then the fun started...
I double dosed on vicodin for a show I had to perform in and even that didn't stop the pain for long (and it was a really interesting performance that I don't really remember, thank goodness all I was doing was Go-Go dancing!
)Think of feeling white hot razor blades moving from your kidneys down through and then pissing it out and you come close to how it feels.
Mine took about 2 weeks to move all the way through from the time the pain started until I gave birth.
I had my son sans any pain killer and was fine. I can take pain and that was the absolute worst pain I've ever experienced. The only good thing vs. having a baby, no diapers to change.

When one of my colleagues at university had one we stuck it through the x-ray diffractometer to find out its mineral composition. Turns out it was a cholesterol-based one and therefore had no economic value.

There is a slight possibility that I am not actually right all of the time.

Dead serious.
I have had women say it was as bad (they had hard births). I have had many women say that it's anywhere from "worse" to "a LOT worse."
I've never had a woman who said it was "not as bad."

More than any gay boy deserves, Will.
My guess, Malcolm, is something based on calcium oxalate. Definitely calcium, though.
