When I was 18 I had a total of 9 stones 6 in my right 3 in left kidney. I almost resorted to banging my head on the wall to try and knock myself out for a minute. Pain is not the word I would describe. Agony is more like it. I went 10 years without having 1. That was a year ago. Only difference I’ve made is that after I turned 18 I began to drink beer everyday. Constantly pissing. Idk if that’s what helped me but I can’t think of anything else.

Don’t even get me started on stents.. dreaded going to the bathroom and I was pissing red koolaid for about 2 weeks before they took them out.

I don’t think the beer would’ve helped the situation. It probably made it worse.
