Hello,i'm a 29 year old female who's been living with this horrific chronic kidney stones since i was 21. i was preg. with my first child when it so rudely reared it's ugly head. i watched my mother suffer all of my life with stones. anyway i guess i don't really know what to say except i have 30 stones in each kidney and over half of those not passable. just this last summer alone i've had two uretal stents,two lithotripsys,1 laser and two pilonidal cystectomys. since may 28th i've had general anastasia 6 times and haven't been off of pain meds since. i'm sorry if this was longer than it should have been,i guess i just don't know what to say.

Hi, i'm a 26 year old female who like you my kidney stones started with my pregnancy this year, i never had any problems until this year, and now i am in so much pain everyday and on pain meds as well. I can't work because even lifting kills me. My stones will not pass, they have been stuck in my calyces for 10 months. I hate it when people or doctors say that if the stones aren't obstructing that they shouldn't hurt, well i am living proof that they hurt terribly. I have renal colic everyday that comes out of nowhere that almost makes me vomit each time and all i can do is moan and roll around in bed. I understand what you are going through and i am sorry.
