What if the stone was like... 3" diameter?

Why can't you cure your peeper prob? Can't you take antibiotics or something?

Then obviously you couldn't fuckin' pass it at all. You'd have to have surgery to get it removed.

what if you couldn't get to a surgeon, smarty-pants?

I've done it twice in my life. Once when I was 4 years old after a hernia surgery, and once when I was 23 with a severe urinary tract infection which I still have 3 years later. It aint fun.

So THATS why you look like you do (your avatar).

Then the stone would block the flow of your waste until you get sick as hell and have to be taken to the hospital, drunkfuck.

A stone that's 3 inches in diameter will NOT go through your plumbing. You can't force something like that through, and even assuming you could, you'd tear your excretory system to shreds.

I'm not sure what sort of exertion you'd be enduring that would cause you to pee blood, or for your nose to bleed profusely, but it seems like more than simple dehydration...although I assume you're being intentionally vague, so I won't ask.

Actually, normal exertion is all that seems to trigger it for me, it's just when I keep going when I should stop. The first time it happened was from playing volleyball for about eight hours on a 4th of July block party, and this time it came from helping someone move and then working the next day. I'm really not sure why it kicked in harshly yesterday, but it did.

The question I guess I need to know is, what job is it that you do that gets you into this state?

It's not the job, it was the combination of various factors. My job yesterday was host and buser at a restaurant, something I've been doing for three years without incident.

Actually, I'd say an incurable horribly burning & painful urinary tract infection that might last a whole lifetime is worse, but thats probably because I'm livin' it. There might be a few worse forms of VD like ghonorrea that would be more terrorizing, but I'd say the short pain of passing kidney stones is leagues less hellish.

Jesus, that's pretty horrible. I read a guy's account of passing a kidney stone once, where he drove himself to the hospital and almost passed out in the parking lot from the pain. The hospital workers found him curled up in his car, and a nurse later told him that he just had the closest he'll ever come to feeling the pain of birth. The nurse said she had given borth and passed a stone herself before, and the excruciating pain is similar for both.

I could be wrong, but I don't think your body could even form a 3" kidney stone. That's beyond huge.

Maybe you've just got Syphillis or Herpes or something?

If you ignored such issues, then there's nobody to blame but yourself. Thanks for the warning, but physical activities usually indicate sports and rotating lines, like hockey, etc.

I don't know how you could exert yourself so much. With a proper diet, activity and stretching this shouldn't happen, at all.

It's possible -- there supposedly have been kidneystones larger than a kilogram. It's just not very likely and I've no idea where your body would put such a monstrosity, much less how someone could stand to have such a thing inside them to let it get that large...

I got to the pissing blood part, shivered, did that "Ughh!" sound/face, and stopped reading. I hope you're okay. That isn't good.
