I've been getting kidney stones since I was in 6th grade. I used to think it was related to drinking a lot of beer, but I'm basically a tea totaller these past 5+ years, and I just had them three times in the past year. Two of these times I needed to go to the emergency room because I couldn't take the pain anymore after about 5-6 hours. Both of those times, the stones were larger than .177 BB's. Pissing them thru the bladder and out is not the problem, it's the stone traveling thru the kidney and the ureter.
Sometimes, it's the most discomfort I have ever experienced. Much worse than broken bones, cuts, punctures - even making an acute gangrenous appedicitis feel like a walk on the beach. Other times, you just run a temperature, and perhaps notice a little soreness on your lower back.

yep that really hurts.. What bothers you is when the stones are broken down to tiny bits then passes your urethra...the time you get a URinary Tract infection...you'll feel that burning sensation..MOst stones are made up of oxalates and crystals like uric acids ... eating foods that are rich in protein then turns to nucleic acids ... then uric acids... commonly found in relation to Arthritis..(beans, root crops, nuts...meat)...also some medicines/tablets disntegrate to form oxalates and or something like that.. It is best to DRINK plenty of water to dilute the concentration. ..
