Had 3 and pretty sure I have a 4th now … fuggin sucks.
First one … felt the intense urge to shit (have GI problems) .. well that happened and then in the process felt like someone literally stabbed me and I started pissing straight blood

30 min later I was in the ER puking and sweating uncontrollably…
A week later they had to roto rooter my plumbing to get it out..

Next one I had was at work during the height of Covid … had changed diet etc after first one because I didn’t want that again.
It was about 4 am… had like 4 or 5 criticals at the time. Mofo hit me from nowhere and knocked me in the floor literally… I was getting ready to have one of them take me to the hospital but
One of my techs ran across the street and got me a Gatorade … I chugged 2 L really quick and wound up passing the bastard right then


Them fuggers are pure evil

Not on me. Every one was a surgical removal. I have gotten quite good at pulling the strings out.

Maybe just put a zipper or 2 in. Do they get too big too fast or just get into a spot where passing them is difficult?

In the two weeks between removal of the last kidney stones and a doctors visit, I grew a 5 mm stone. Things are finally under control.

The interesting part is that I never had a problem until after I turned 55 and nothing had changed in that time. It was a hell of a ride after that.

You are tougher than me. They gave me the option of self stent removal (with the string) or in office removal. No way I was pulling that out at home haha.

My wife pulled hers out in the shower once and I couldn't believe it when she told me.

The first one I had was in the airport in Johannesburg South Africa flying home from my first plains game hunt. 16 hours- no meds. When we got to Atlanta my son had to lead me through customs and indicated to the officer I was drunk. I barely remember anything from that one. Just delirious. Second and third bad ones I made it to the hospital. Still brutal, unbearable pain. After the third bad one which was this summer the urologist said I had one that I would not be able to pas, so rather than walking around with a time bomb I elected surgery. That sucked too. Then everyone said removing the catheter would be no big deal. Yeah right ! Felt like jerking a lock chain through your cod!

Never really had any issue with having catheters removed after surgery. Came out pretty easy. The longer they stay in the longer it takes to get pee pee back to normal. Hard to hold it back one it wants out.
