I had one two years ago, seriously the worst pain ever.
I twisted my torso like a "golf stretch" and all of a sudden got a horrible pain in my lower left side, thought i pulled a muscle.
I ended up throwing up and writing in pain for an hour before I decided it was time to go to the hospital. Went inot th the ER at 10pm and only got to see a doctor at 5am, and the people there couldn't diagnose what it was (ps this is CANADA, not a third world country, but i'm sure health care would be better elsewhere anyways).So this pain went on for 5 days, and I was taking 3 Motrin's every 4 hours around the clock. Three doctors later, the third doctor that I saw told me to get to an emergency room immediately, as there other doctors brushed off what I had as "backache" and to take a tylenol. Only after I forcibly made the second doctor allow me to take a urine test to prove to him that it was more fucked up than he thought, that he referred me to the third doctor. He was doctOWNED.
After this, I ended up taking two IVP tests where they inject a glow in the dark dye into your system so that they could take special x-rays to see if there were any blockages in my system that they found out it was a stone. This test also dislodged the stone from the kidney so the pain went away.
2 weeks later I ended up passing the stone itself on a night of drinking at a bar!
I wouldn't wish this shit on anyone!
