Some of you know I am one of the youngest blockers on the site - just turned 34 two weeks ago. This past Saturday morning I had an internal attack on my kidneys that woke me up at 4:30 am and literally doubled me over in bed - you guessed it, kidney stone time!!! Man it was horrible...I thought I was too young for this kind of thing, but a catscan at the doctor's office that morning confirmed what I thought. Nothing like 5 hours in the ER.

I passed the "shrapnel" last night and early this morning - bits and pieces and chunks of dark pebbles. I am sure some of you other fellas have been through this - does this count me in as a Y block veteran now?

...have an appointment with the urologist at 9am tomorrow morning.

Daniel,

Glad to hear your ok, can't say I've had the privaledge of your experience, but you become a true Y-blocker whenever you "PASS" a scrub!

I love the smell of burning rubber in the morning!

Rob,

that's a great name for a kidney stone - "scrub"!

Had a few "gravel" attacks myself, [first a 41,56 now]  would not wish it on anybody. Have heard it said that the pain is the equivalent if not worse than child birth for woman. Keeping your piddle a constant light colour helps, if it starts to look a bit dark have a couple of glasses of water, works for me.

Dan, you became a real Y-Blocker when you saw or heard your first one.

Daniel,

I think your right comparing a scrub ( chuv) to a kidney stone, I think all will agree that they are both nothing but a REAL pain in the @#$%!!!
