you need to flush through with plenty of water....I have had these from time to time and they are not pleasant but unless very big can be easily passed

Cranberry juice, helps clear up a UTI (Urinary Tract Infection). You drink it, not pass it!
Could the feeling be described as burning, or "passing razorblades", UTI sufferers describe it as such.

Maybe you caught your lad into your zip when you got dressed this morning. Soon after you opened the zip the pain disappeared. Does it have any teeth marks on it?

Unhappy

I've passed a kidney stone myself never felt pain like it, i'd also been given special pain killers but that didn't help anything,so the chances are it's just moved and it will be back go to the docs to get it checked, it felt like i'd peed a piece of broken glass and i was peeing pure blood.

you have my sympathies mate - I've suffered from bladder infections twice, the only solution is straight to the doctor for antibiotics.

however, see how you get on through the day. if you passed a kidney stone, you'll probably be ok later on (not that I'd know!) but if it's an infection, then you'll find yourself wanting to urinate all the time - but really not wanting to because of the pain (a burning sensation is a mild way to describe it!). oh, and don't be surprised if you pass blood

good luck!

Question

Never passed a kidney stone myself, but a mate has had two, and sister has had one. They both describe the pain as originating in the small of the back, and NOT in the urinary tract. Also, both said it lasted for a couple of hours or more, and left them utterly drained:
If I were you, I'd have a check up, and be honest with whoever does it!

A diet rich in Vitamin C will make your urine more acidic, this should stop the build up of any more stones.

Exclamation

I've had two kidney stones removed. What follows is not for the sensitive. Usually you become aware that you might have kidney stones when you get a dull ache in the small of your back when you are dehydrated. However, sometimes the stone will cause bleeding, either latent (invisible) or your pi55 looks like black tea or red wine. Not nice. I had the black tea approach for the second stone. Also sometimes the blood clots can pass down the ureter and get stuck or pass into the bladder and then into the urethra and get stuck, causing interrupted peeing or complete stoppage. Oh and shed loads of pain.

In terms of the pain - I was told it's the only way a man can experience the sort of pain levels that women go through in childbirth. On the first stone, I had no pain, but it was found as a result of another investigation and was litho-tripsied (blasted to bits by focussed sound waves) which hurt quite a bit despite the local anaesthetic. After that non invasive procedure you drink loads of water to get rid of the bits, and are supposed to be taken home by someone and that's that. Being a bloke, I thought, borrox, I 'll be fine and got a mate to sign me out of hospital and then began to drive home on my own, feeling fine. About half way home, however, a piece of "shrapnel" must have moved and I very nearly crashed the car - the pain was unbelievable. I just managed to get the car to the side of the road (on the Old Kent road of all places) and managed to get out onto the pavement where I was on all fours unable to breathe or move, until the pain passed . I stood up wobbily, covered in sweat to the extent that all, and I mean all, my clothes were soaked through. Fortunately, a nice old black woman was there who had looked after my car keys - I had left it running with the doors open - the pain was that bad that I just didn't care. Strangely, never felt another twinge after that one.

Second one was a different sort of stone that is invisible to ultrasound (and was the sort that is made worse by cranberry juice or acidic conditions, so careful) so they had to go in up the john thomas all the way up to the kidney with a thing with a laser and a camera on the end to zap the stone and then grab it. General anaesthetic this time, but the biggest worry is if the tube from kidney to bladder isn't wide enough to get the camera etc up, then they put in a thing called a stent, which is basically a bit of springy steel mesh to hold open the tube so that they can get in. That's not the best bit however, (how's lunch going down ) there's a string attached that they pull it back out with the next day and that really hurts apparently. All I cared about when I woke up was whether I had a string hanging out of my love truncheon - thankfully I didn't.

You may have been lucky, I hope you were, and passed it already, or as people have been suggesting it might be some sort of infection.

FB's right, mate.

Get yersel' down the quack. He may tell you to **** off an' stop bothering him, he may refer you to the local GU clinic (most likely) or whatever, but he'll put you out of your misery.
