I've never had one before but I woke up feeling sick to my stomach this morning at about 4:30.

I remember when Abitiman had his troubles with the stones.
Kept him in my thoughts as I'll do now for you.
May your day be pain free fella.

conversationpc wrote:Update, day 3:
- Still haven't passed the stone. Had to get up to piss about once an hour last night, though.
- When I take a leak, I have to piss into a container and then pour it through a strainer to catch the stone. When I was doing that, bending over the toilet this afternoon, I tweaked a muscle in my lower back. So now I have lower back pain besides that from the kidney stone...

- On top of that, I have a nasty sinus infection. I've used so much nasal spray that it only works for about a half an hour at a time, if that.
- On Tuesday, when I left work, my truck wouldn't start and I had to get a jump from a coworker. I drove it to Wal Mart since that's where I got the battery originally. The battery wasn't holding a charge and it wasn't under warranty, so I paid about $90 for a new one. It started up fine when I left there and I went straight to the gas station to get it filled up. When I went to leave, it wouldn't start again. Had to have it towed and found out that one of the wires going to the battery was bad. Got that fixed for about $70. Went to drive it again and now there's a loud rubbing noise on the driver's side. Now I have to have the upper & lower ball joints replaced, along with the wheel bearings. This will total about $450.

- Yesterday, we got a call from a friend that a friend of my wife, actually more of a second mother, died from breast cancer. My wife didn't know that she was doing so poorly, so it was kind of a shock even though we knew she had cancer.
- Because of the kidney stone and expenses from getting my truck fixed, we may not be able to go on vacation to Florida next Saturday as we had planned.
Yikes! What a week.
Despite that, I'm still alive and managed to make it through a day of work...AND post here a few times.

Doing OK so far today, ladies. I haven't passed the stone yet and it's not hurting right now, so it's probably either still stuck or waiting to be ejected from the bladder.

Truthfully, the pain wasn't as bad as I had heard and that some of you said you experienced. I think mine passed most of the way from the kidney to the bladder while I was asleep, though, so I wasn't awake for most of it.
Anyway, I'm glad it's over.

Was it Afrin (or the equivalent) you used? That stuff will cause almost like an "addiction" if you use it too much. I found that out the hard way when I used it for nasal swelling during & after pregnancy, & an ENT had me "wean" off of it by mixing it with just nasal saline & over a 2 week time frame increasing the saline while decreasing the Afrin. That was my Afrin "rehab", lol.
After a few days of using a decongestant nasal spray, your nasal membranes may become tolerant — or less responsive — to the effects of the medication. As a result, you may need to use more and more of the medication to control congestion or your congestion may worsen if you stop using the medication (rebound congestion). Some people mistake this as nasal spray "addiction." But it really isn't. Addiction is a compulsive physiological need for and use of a habit-forming substance known to be physically, psychologically or socially harmful.

No, it's not Afrin and it's not really a true addiction.After a few days of using a decongestant nasal spray, your nasal membranes may become tolerant — or less responsive — to the effects of the medication.
