My kidney stone was on the move this morning, and my 5 year old asked why I was in bed for so long. This video cleared up the confusion he had when I told him I have a stone in my tummy. The look on his face was priceless 😂.
Thanks for sharing this father son story.Great, glad it was of some value.
@@ThinkYourHealth ac at qdacqaaad was
Did you feel that it's coming out from your body actually I am feeling the pain in my tummy and back but no feeling in my urine area
@@ThinkYourHealth¹
My stone is as lager about 9 would this need surgery
Has any sufferers here of kidney stones also suffering from nausea/dizziness!?
Man😢
I have. I had my first stone. I didn't know it at the time. But I threw up 6 times and was in so much pain that I went to Urgent Care. It was there, they informed me of the Kidney Stone.😮💨 😢. PAINFUL
@@wonderbread152i had exactly the same. The biggest fysical pain i experienced in my life.
My boss a male had them years ago he was miserable with pain 😮 he looks red sweaty sick looking
Going through this and my gosh it is so painful! And I have a high tolerance for pain but man this I don't wish on anyone.
Continue to hydrate well.
I can understand how you feel. Because I have it for 3 time😓.
Feels like you’re getting stabbed in your lower back with a Rambo knife 🙊🙉🙈 horrible
Amen. I’ve broken bones, torn muscles and have never had pain like this. I’m 8 days in right now trying to pass one
Just got from the Hospital & I have a kidney STONE 😭 I’m nausea and can’t keep water down pray for me
Continue to hydrate well & good luck!
May the Lord help you in Jesus Name ,Amen !🙏🙇♀️
Literally just passed one 4 hours ago. This pain was WORSE than childbirth. I hope the rest breaks up on their own because I cannot again 😪
Continue to hydrate well & best of luck.
@@ThinkYourHealth For sure. Hydration and cystone. Thanks
Any updates
@@amazingashleyase4996 Taking meds that will hopefully break them up. No pain since. Hopefully, they pass with no pain and unnoticeable. Thanks for asking.
@@JettMummy please how do I know if I have stones in my kidney???? Because I am always having pains at my waist region I short all over my body....please help
Thanks so much for this video. Very informative. Learned some information I never heard before about kidney stones. As I've had 4 stones in my lifetime. I'm 43 now and my first one was when I was 19. Painful and scary especially when you don't know what is happening to your body to bring on so much pain and agony! Don't wish that on my greatest enemy! So I empathize with anyone suffering from this. I believe most of mine have been from calcium. The first one was because I was on a milk binge for whatever reason. So since then I have cut back on drinking milk and am careful about eating or drinking items with added calcium. Also avoid drinking too much soda, that can bring on stones as well and also eating too much fast food.My first two passed fairly quickly, within days or a week. However, my third one I eventually had surgery after a few months of it not being expelled. Wasn't technically feeling back or abdomen pain anymore, but the constant pressure to urinate or feeling something was still there. Very annoying, so I opted for lithotripsy. I also had to get a stent in place for a few days or so. Very uncomfortable. I guess I've been prone to them. I tend to get them every 5 years or so. Since the third one I looked up what can you do to treat them naturally. So I take Chanca Piedra and that helps break down stones - kidney and gallbladder stones. I took/take them in pill form, but you can also drink it as a tea. Can be found on Amazon or bought from a health store. My more recent one January 12th, started in my back and started working toward my left side and abdomen (here we go again) sharp pain, nausea and vomiting, dull pain and repeat. Tried to ride it out until the morning, but after throwing up for the 4th time, I couldn't take it anymore and went to the ER. Did a scan and found.a 7mm stone. Was given Flomax, Pain Meds, and Nausea medication. Was advised by the pharm to only take the Hydrocodone for only 4 days even though I had plenty extra. Was told it's not good for the kidneys after that - go figure. Plus don't want to become addicted. Anyway, I only had the Flomax for a week. Can bring on side effects - body aches and constipation for me. Continued to take the Chanca Piedra each day sometimes twice a day. Could see fragments in my urine as days went on. Then sometimes nothing. Just passed the stone tonight! February 4th! Thank God! In closing, drink plenty fluids, lemon water, try and take the Chanca Piedra and just be consistent and patient. Eventually they will pass unless they are that huge, but they should at least diminish in size. Good luck guys! Blessings.
Amazing and informative video. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!Appreciate your feedback.
I've had many stones , It usually takes about 12 hours to drop into the bladder , of the ones that I passed . Some I had to have surgery for . I have to say the procedures have gotten a lot better since my first stone in 1973 .
Very well explanation ! Thumbs up
Thank you for the very clear information.
You are welcome!
Going in this a.m. for 2nd procedure. My stone they say is 5mm x 8 mm. Prayers this takes care of it!
Iam having 3×2mm stone in my right kidney .what it's mean ?iam having a 6mm stone or 3 mm stone ?
@@baraniydharan These are the dimensions of the stone. It measures in your case 6mm diameter one way by 3 mm the other. Our ureters measure approximately 3 mm diameter. So, it's hard & painful to pass a stone larger than the ureter's width.
So, they either do a procedure called "lithotripsy" which uses soundwaves to break up the stone so it can pass naturally out as we urinate or they will go up and "grab" the stone and manually pull it out.
May the Lord help you in Jesus Name, Amen 🙏🙋♀️
Mine is 9mm and they're not going to break it up 😬
Thank you for this information you helped immensely...
Verg informative, thanks John!

Warstone has best suited me, really no side effects, removed my stones four times and it is very reliable. I have suffered from kidney stones many times in my life and I have done a lot of survey before buying Warstone. I would highly recommend this medicine.
Is it good
Where can I get warstone?
Please help how can I get warstone
Excellent information. My Urologist didn't tell me any of this. CAT showed my 7.5x5 stone was about half way through my Ureter and said I could pass it or he could do surgery. Gave me Tamulosin. Hope it works.
Appreciate your feedback!
Hey man .... Did it work ... I've been prescribed silodosin ...
Thanks a lot for such an informative video.
Most welcome!
Great video and information. Thanks so much.
Appreciate your comment.Thanks very much.
I have a single 3mm and thought I was gonna die. I don't see how you all dealt with several or huge ones. It'd be tough to keep me off a roof if I had another
I've had a 3mm and 7mm, the 3mm hurt far worse than the 7mm for some weird reason.
Thank you for this video!
Glad it was helpful!
Great information about the kidney stones!!! 👍👍👍 I just got released from the hospital because they have kidney stones there are two on my right side one on my left side to centimeters are 3mm to 4mm this video cleared a lot of questions that I have now I just have to follow up with a kidney specialist.

Thanks for all information provided it might help me.
I have TRIED more than 10 medications for my stone problem..it is a very old problem..I had more than 12 stones in both my kidneys..{I used WARSTONE Treatment and it helped me to relieve at least 7-8 stones from the kidneys,},still 2-3 stones are left..but still it is BETTER than most of the medicines.
Good evening please what is warstone treatment please help am in pain
What is warstone...?where we buy that medicine?
Ayurvedic syrup available in Amazon
When I stand up and walk around the pain is less, but when I laydown... the pain is more. ER cat scan said it’s a 1-2 mm stone
Thanks for sharing your experience.Generally, walking with kidney disease has proven to be beneficial.www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=178522..
Continue to hydrate well.
I just passed a 7mm a few days ago. In hindsight it took 2 years to pass. FML
Very clear ecplanation.
What the heck😁hehe,tnx doc,ur my favorite vlogger now👍☺️
Wow, thanks, so nice of you.
Thanks Doc, you're amazing.
I was prescribed Warstone by the doctor...I ordered it frm Amazon...my 17mm stone was dissolved in 2 months treatment..everyone told me that only surgery is the solution but Warstone saved me..
"17mm"???
Heyy please help me I have kidney stone
Unfortunately, I've recently experienced kidney stones. My right kidney was having multiple spasms to where I couldn't take it anymore.
I wouldn't compare the pain to childbirth itself but to the labor pains, instead. The kidney pain/spasms were yes, worse than labor pains.
Thankyou for this very helpful, informative video! Wish I'd have found it a few weeks earlier!
Appreciate you sharing your experience with other viewers.Thank you!
I get them too & you think urologist and nope it's your thyroid..I'm about to lose it..😭😭😭😭
Thank you so much 🙌 It was Very Helpful.
You're welcome!
Beautifully explained
Appreciate this!
For me
Left kidney stone 3mm stone - took 11 hours
Right kidney stone 5mm - took 4 days
Agonising pain..
Thanks for sharing.Giving your timeline will give hope to some other viewers!Thanks for that.
@Mark W Update as I spoke too soon. I still had lingering back pain so decided to check if stone has actually passed so had an xray yesterday. I am now been told that the stone is still there stuck in ureter about 3 inches away from the bladder. Damn stone has not moved a millimetre from its location for the last 12 days that's why pain is low level. I was convinced it came out but was wrong. Urologists are too busy due to Covid situation so next appointed available is on 10th Feb. I am now back to drinking extra fluids and doing walking/cycling to help move this stone. I have a feeling some kind of intervention may be needed as I am on my 20th day today!
@Mark W Thank you. Lets hope and pray this stone situation gets resolved quickly for both of us. Sure man will keep updating. As they say "Tough times never last, but tough people do".
Did you take medicine to remove it ?
@@ZaraQadir97 No medicine, just plenty of water and walking
13:44 thanks for adding these preventive measures. I'm also a small creator 😅
Glad, they were useful.Hydrate well and watch your diet.
very informative and comforting
Glad it was helpful!
Wow, this is really interesting, thanks
Glad you think so!
How can you tell when your kidney stone is moving ? I have had a kidney stone for several years apparently, been having pain in my lower back, hip and lower left abdomen for about two years, nothing terrible, more niggling than anything else - I went for an ultrasound and was told I have a 4mm stone, but that it is in a certain place in my kidney that means it might never move. However in the last month the pain and a feeling of pressure in my abdomen when I am laid down in bed on a night have gotten worse. I have been drinking dilute lemon juice mixed with apple cider vinegar as I have read in numerous places that these are believed to be effective in gently dissolving stones. Your thoughts on this would be much appreciated : )
Perhaps try dandelion tea … also try celery juice and alternate between these juices pomegranate and pretty much stay hydrated pick a good spring water. Pineapple, and eat less animal meat more fruits and veggies. Try a mediterranean diet.
My dad has had a number of kidney stones so I always wondered about this! Thanks so much for breaking it all down for us!
Glad it was helpful!Hope your dad is doing better.
I'm giving thanks to great doctor Chimnedum herbal home who cured me of kidney infection, i was tested positive since last year, and i was frustrated because i know i am into big problem in fact i was debating if i am going to die with this, because of the pains and frustration i was going through, one-day i saw doctor Chimnedum recommendection and testimonies online on how he has cured so many people infection with Herbal medicine, initially i did not believe because i am not use to herbal medicine but i was advised by a close friend to give him a trier, after talking the herb for about ten days i started noticing that there is good change in my physical out look but i was still afraid to go and check my self in not to get same result, so i contacted Dr Chimnedum herbal home he told me to go and check my self, he insists i must go for cheek up, after my medical tests my result came out negative and i ask is it true that i am free from kindneystone? They ask me to go that i am free,
I am existed and grateful to God who uses doctor chimnedum herbal home to wipe my tears away from my face, in case you wants to contact him for the same or similar issues,you can reach him through his email address, Dr.chimnedumherbalhome1616@gmail.com or you contact him through his WhatsApp number :+2347086675538, now i believe in doctor chimnedum herbal home and his Herb's.......................
Doctor prescribed Warstone to me...I ordered it frm Amazon...my 17mm stone was dissolved in 2 months treatment..people said only surgery is the solution but Warstone saved me..
Thank you wonderful information
God bless!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Doctor for sharing It ...
Thanks for making this video and the mention. I had kidney stones once and had no idea what I was experiencing except that I had extreme pain. I was surprised the doctors didn't give me anything and just waited till they were expelled in my urine. You definitely make the case to drink a lot of water
Thanks for checking video. Yes, hydrate well and you should be good. Since, you had stones in the past I’m sure you will be proactive.
Oh man I just had the worst experience yesterday. Was in pain from 3am to 6am pain went from a dull pain to an excruciating pain. I folded like a chair I went to ER thinking I was having food poisoning. They told me right away when I peed in a cup for testing I had stones. I wouldn't wish this pain on anyone
Thank you for sharing your experience!!Continue to hydrate well.
How does you diagnose that it's kidney stone?
What was in your urine ?
@@SumitH-pk7ut they check for traces of blood and then they usually do a CT scan as well

Oh boy.Hydrate well.I hope it is out by now!

It happened yesterday to me and it seems to be big it wanted to come out but couldn't and it was painful Thank you for this video atleast what I know suffering from
ouch! I've never experienced a kidney stone but I heard they are beyond painful
They are extremely painful with patients begging you to help them with their pain.Hydrate well.
WOW!!! Best video out there on kidney stones! All useful information!! You deserve an Emmy award!
Wow, thank you!Glad you enjoyed it.Thank you!!
Great Presentation - thank you!
You're very welcome!
Going through this,
Thank You so much for all the information!🙌
You're so welcome!😀
Thank you so much for the information provided in this video I've got a few small stones and my doctor prescribed me tamsulosin which is helping but it's still painful but now I know it's not going to last very long thanks to your video I feel a lot better
Glad it was helpful!
They sound so painful! My dad had one removed years ago. Sounds like something that I never want to go through especially the 10 millimeters. Great info thank you!
Yes, extremely painful.Yes, 10mm would be a problem, but even the smaller ones if they, for whatever reason cannot be passed out are problematic & pesky as well.
Thanks for the advice as always! I know somebody who's had to go for an operation to have some of the larger ones removed - not pleasant at all.
Indeed, not pleasant at all.Even smaller stones are quite painful especially as the body sees them as something"foreign" and our bodies try to "flush" them away down the ureter.
@@ThinkYourHealth Anything you can do to keep these at bay is welcome!!
I'm gonna have to remember that Warstone stuff. Thanks. I just passed a 7mm stone, the jagged type last week. I thought i had a hernia for the last two years... But now after seeing that stone, I think it was it stuck in my ureter giving me unbearable pain about once every 2 months.
This is one of my greatest fears honestly. Sounds so painful
Some women describe the pain as worse than giving birth. Hydrate well
I just experienced hell out of it . Hydrate and cut on animal proteins.
Brother you have no idea . I went man down today because of kidney stones very very painful.
its not always like this,, i had a 3 cm stone,, honeslty when i passed it because of the flomax it just blooped out, i almost had to have a stent put in becuz it disapeared in the uterer, but the worst thing was i had a constant urge to urinate, it was like having to go in the worst way and that feeling was constant after every urination id feel like having to urinate again, had sharp pains around groin as it was passing through but not excruciating pain
@@rbuk2112I’m on Flomax now. I have two kidneys stones. One is 1.5mm and the other is 2mm. How does Flomax help pass stones?
I am experiencing severe intermittent pain in my lower back, lower abdomen and stomach. At times it is unbearable. There is some relief with a bowel movement but it returns. After a series of GI tests 2 years ago, the doctor indicated that I had a kidney stone. It evidently is trying to move down the Ureter. I saw a medial assistant who tested my urine and found signs of blood. I am seeing my doctor tomorrow. I am drinking copious amounts of water and using heat and ibuprofen for the pain. I cannot sleep and bear much more of the pain. I hope it passes soon.
Thank you for sharing your experience.Continue to hydrate well so that the stone can pass.Your Doctor will likely do some imaging tests and blood tests to figure out where the stone is, its size and if there are any abnormalities in your labs, in particular your renal parameters.
I’am with you brother going through this now. Pain is horrible i have a 5 mm stone
@@BHUFF have u passed it yet or not . I m suffering from 6 mm and 4.5 mm stone very very painful
@@muhammadfaheem9778 yes I passed it , but uroligist is going to do a mri to make sure there isn’t any more of them
Thank you this is so helpful
You're so welcome!
Thanks great information sir.🖐
So nice of you, apperciate your feedback.
I’ve always heard that it’s extremely painful to pass these stones, and you’ve confirmed it. 🤪
Yes, painful, uncomfortable and disruptive.You have multiple small ones, just as bad as you can keep getting these symptoms intermittently for many months.
I’m going to stomp the crap out my stone when I see it
Hahaha! Kick it's fuckin' ass! No fuckin' quarter!
Naw dude save it, and try to dissolve it. So if you get another one you know what to do.
Thank you so much Doctor
Awesome video. thank you.
Thank you too!I appreciate your feedback!
Think I'd better increase my water intake! Interesting point you highlighted about the difference between the right and left kidneys. I had to cross my legs when you explained the procedure of passing a camera up the urethra. Fascinating video!
Hydrate well, that's key.Instrumentation and urethra is always painful for a man to hear.LOL.
@@ThinkYourHealth, yep, it sure conjures up some strange images in one's mind!
They put you to sleep. You know nothing about it. Stint removal slightly painful when they go into your bladder to grab the stent. I had a good doctor
I had severe pain about a month ago and after the tests my doctor told me that you have a 4mm stone in urinary pipe. Now the pain is gone but I don't know if the stone has passed or not. Will I feel it when I pass it?
Usually you have most of the pain because of distention of your kidney capsule as the kidney is trying to eject the stone.You can have pain also when the stone is passing down or obstructing your ureter. Pain usually also stops once the stone reaches your bladder.Once in your bladder, the kidney stone may pass through the urethra (urinary opening) while you are urinating (which may cause pain to start again). Or, it may break into such small fragments that you don’t notice it passing.
Let me tell u until u notice properly, you wont notice that the stone has left through urine
Wonderful video. Thank you very much
Glad you liked it!
Thank you. You are a great teacher.
I appreciate that!
Thanks for sharing the video. My brother had once and he was in so much pain
Sorry to hear that.Thanks for watching.Hydrate well.
Just passed a stone today finally!
Great.Continue to hydrate well.
Thank you sir for givng such a nice information👌👍🙏
So nice of you, appreciate your feedback!
Thank you for your information and advice.you advice give me to learn.
Glad to hear that!
I'm female and just went through a whole saga w/these. Went to the ER one night w/a terrible fever (had had small fevers off and on for months but always got over them). Turns out, I had a 24-milimeter stone (that's not a typo) blocking my ureter and a terrible UTI due to the urine storing up and getting infected. (NOW I know that the little trickle of pee I'd had for months was a problem). Had emergency surgery to place a stent in. 3 days in hospital getting IV antibiotics for infection. Got the huge stone out, through my back, in hospital about 1 month later (had to stay the night). Had a 2nd stone, "only" 10 milimeters and it was blasted (another stent for a week). Turns out, I had hyperparathyroidism (causes too much calcium in your blood and urine) and had parathyroidectomy surgery (2 of the 4 removed). So, 4 sugeries in 4 months. Not fun, am very fit and healthy in all other ways. Worst part was the stents and missing so many workouts. Strange thing, I had absolutely no pain from those two huge stones at all. None.
24 mm?😢😢😢
Sorry to hear anout the ordeal, but good to hear everything is good now. Although I've had dozens of kidney stones myself, I never had any larger than 10mm. Only one had to be blasted whilst still in the kidney and 6 or 7 operated through the ureter. The others always managed to pass through either in full or by breaking apart. Unfortunately, I did have the worst pain in my life on multiple occasions with these. The doctors told me that indeed people with much bigger stones usually have less or no pain because you dont actually feel them while they are still inside the kidney. It's only once they start to exit the kidney that the pain begins. Though, after so many kidneys, I can confirm this (have 3 stones in 2 kidneys atm and no pain), by now I can sometimes sense whether something is present.
@@davy9247 Have they not been able to find out what causes them for you? I neglected to say that years ago...about 8 now, I had one random stone (first one) about 3 mm and I passed it and the pain was off the charts! I've had twins (and many other children) and the kidney stone pain was MUCH worse than labor pains. I don't know how you've gone through that more than once. I sure hope they find the cause of yours and wish you all the luck in the world!
@@purselmer5931 No, unfortunately not. I've been like a guinea pig undergoing countless tests in multiple hospitals, but no one managed to find anything. It hasn't been particularly motivating. With this high frequency, you'd expect to at least see some kind of indication of what could be causing this. Anyway, because kidney stones are often compared to child birth, I try to joke it off by saying: "if these stones were babies, I'd have a very big family by now." 😏
Thank you for the video, it didn't help the pain, but understanding what is happening definitely helps the process mentally
Appreciate your feedback and wishes.Thanks.
Thank you so much! This video was very helpful.❤
You're so welcome!
had a 4mm stone that was near the bladder when I first started having symptoms. Misdiagnosed as appendicitis and underwent emergency appendectomy. The next day the kidney stone pain came for about 5-6 hours accompanied with vomiting (VERY VERY painful the day after abdominal surgery). I was good for about 3 days, then had the pain return for about 41 hours straight before subsiding again. After the 36 hour mark, I just elected to have ureteroscopic surgery. Pain finally subsided a little before my surgery.
I actually see my stone from CT scan. It's so clear that it's hard to miss.
In a simple statement, this video is EXCELLENT !!!! Clear, concise and non-threatening for understanding the symptoms, causes and remediation of a very alarming condition.
Wow, thank you.What a pleasant compliment.I am glad it was of value.
I’ve been suffering with kidney stones for about 2 months now. I have 5 stones in my left kidney that vary in sizes. My largest one is 21mm and it sits on my urethra. A stent has been placed over a month ago. My pain is unbearable at times. I’ve lost 50 lbs. I’ve cut out all caffeine potatoes chocolates and more and drink tons of water. I’m tired most of the time due to pain and urinating every 30 minutes to an hour. Now depression has set in. I don’t want to leave the house. I have gone back to the hospital due to pain to get some relief, even if it’s for a little while then back on tramadol again until I can’t take it anymore. ER doctor said it is the largest stone he has seen in his career. I’m just so depressed. Any words of encouragement or advice accepted. Great video.
Did you pass them? I just went through two procedures and finally got mine out. Stents and everything. Hope you are ok now.
@@brybry8276 I passed all but 10mm of the largest one and that took almost 8 hours of surgery to get. My stent is removed and I feel like a million bucks ….. and down 70 lbs I would never wish this upon anyone. What a freakin experience! Hugs to my fellow stoners!
@@gmay32ify now you are good right?
Try chanka piedra tea,works wonders for me,it's a stone breaker! 🙏♥️🌹🌼

Tomorrow is my day for laser treatment. It's like waiting for Christmas morning. I can't wait~the suspense is killing me. Oh the pain. My new found friend, a glass of water.
Wearing the stint is the worst part. Hopefully you it is removed by now!
