Hello! I just had to give God some glory tonight. I know this is gross, but bear with me. I suffer from kidney stones(the first time I had them was about a year ago, and there were TWO at the same time. OUCH!!!). The first time I had them, a dull, fire-like pain started small on the right side of my back and got so bad over the course of about four hours that it made me sick(literally). I was miserable and in terrible pain for a week. Anyway, tonight we had a cookout with family, and that same pain started creeping up my back. Knowing exactly what it was(because trust me, you NEVER forget how it feels), I told my husband I needed to go see a doctor ASAP. We went home, and I waited for him in the car while he got our 2 year old daughter, Holly, ready to go. I was crying it hurt so bad, and I was starting to feel really sick. I started begging God to help me. Then, as quickly as it came, the pain stopped. I had to let it sink in, actually. I couldn't believe the pain was gone just like that. I don't want to elaborate on the details for obvious reasons, but I went back inside, and presto change-o, no more stone. The funny thing is, this time, this stone was bigger than the two from before. I'm convinced that God heard me crying and helped me. He is so amazing! What an awesome friend we have in Jesus. I also pray that none of you ever have to experience these things. It's a pain worse than childbirth, IMO.

Praise the Lord Sis, he hears every prayer that leaves our lips

Praise him

Ugh! I can't get the quote box where it needs to be. Sorry. I tried quoting your post, lisaleenie, but technology hates me. lol

Hi, 4 Jesus, well. I hit the quote buton myself, and it didn't work for me, either.

Thank you for your empathy on what I went through myself.  That pain is something else, huh?  Anyway, to answer your question, I believe what helps you to pass the kidney stones is to drink a lot of water.  That helps flushes them out.   One day when I had horrible kidney stone pain, I drank water all day long (I wasn't able to eat) and after I vomited, the pain eased up after drinking all that water. As far as your eating healthy and excercising, that is good for you, so I wouldn't stop doing that.
