@@pietropedrini5752 you may want to add more water to your diet. They HURT! It's the kind of pain you want to escape from, but you CAN'T! Don't wait until you get one, just add water.

I've had kidney stones 3 times in my life. To call it "excruciating" is like calling a blazing thermite "hot". I also know a woman who's had 3 kids (no drugs during delivery) and one attack of kidney stones. She said she'd rather go through the pain of 3 more births than another round of stones.
Just recovering from a surgery where I had to get one removed surgically. Had been stuck for months. It was such excruciating pain when it initially happened that I literally passed out and collapsed on the floor. It really recalibrated my pain scale.
When I was 19 I had a friend who had a bout of kidney stones. I was visiting him at his rural home when he started having major pains. He asked me to take him to the local hospital. I have never felt so freaked out by a human screaming and crying than I was on that nightmare trip to the hospital. He was in agony and let me know it. He sounded like a horror flick victim getting sliced up with a dull, rusty knife. I had nightmares about that trip for months afterwards. 😮😮😮
Honestly... The rusty knife probably would hurt less, if for no other reason than at some point the knife is gonna end you, whereas the stones just keep on torturing you.
There have been people who gave birth and also had kidney stones in their life. Most of them say, they prefered birth over the stones, as it is less hellish. Dang...

I've had two I went to the ER for but a bunch that passed on their own. The pain is _insane_ for no biological reason. Actually peeing it out is the easy part. Having the stone _leave_ the kidney is what hurts. That little tube that connects your kidney to the bladder is the size of a piece of spaghetti and it actually GRIPS that jagged little stone as it tries to fall due to inflammation. This is why they like to get stuck.
I had my first kidney stone when I was 14 years old, When I was in 8th grade in Junior High. If I recall correctly, this was in the year 2005. I remember waking up at 4:35am, 2 hours before I usually wake up for school and I told mom I was in the worst pain I've ever been in. She was puzzled, but when I described my pain as starting in the lower abdomin with it radiating to my lower back area next to my kidneys, she said I probably have kidney stones, which makes sense, since my dad has a long history of getting them. Surprisingly, the pain went away after 2 hours, so I was able to go to school that day. However, a couple days later, I woke up around 5am and it happened again. Only this time, the pain wouldn't go away. Mom took me to the emergency room and they gave me strong IV drugs that pretty much took the pain away. I stayed at the hospital for an hour or two before they discharged me home with some Vicodin and pills that turned my pee an orange color, which was supposed to help flush out the kidneys. I am now 31 years old and thankfully I haven't had any big kidney stones since. As you said at the end of the video, the key is to drink as much water as you can to help keep the kidneys flushed out. My stones are 100% calcium stones, so I tend to avoid milk as much as possible now. I used to eat a lot of cereal when I was in school, so I think that's what did me in.
I think you might've misunderstood?? He specifically said calcium stones are due to a LACK of calcium, so you should be getting more in your diet, not the opposite
My dad had kidney stones, and he never cries. His parents got divorced, his dad treated him like crap. He got metal impaled through him, he even got burnt really bad. But, he never cried through any of those, continuing to cry of how much it hurt and also peeing out blood. I really do agree that no human deserves this kind of pain.
My dad currently has kidney stones, and it’s always so hard for him to do simple things everyday, and I feel very bad for him because I’m unable to help physically, although I will tell him to more strictly follow the diet of what you mentioned in this video, because I think it will definitely benefit him long term. Thanks!
My father had a kidney stone about a year back. He was the traditional big man of the family. Always (seemingly) knowing what to do, keeping us all in line, being the big earner of the family, that kind of situation. So to see him doubled over, screaming in incoherent agony was a sight I'd never wish upon those who wronged me most.
Lost a kidney to cancer, so the other one does all the work. Stones always show up in scans, but they haven't changed much. One time I felt a "flapoop" while using the restroom, and didn't know what that meant. Fortunately it was really smooth instead of spikey. I think I still have it somewhere.
I had a kidney stone at 14 and I legitimately thought I was dying. I woke up one morning and had a small pain on my left side, I tried to ignore it and do some things to make it stop hurting but it kept getting worse and worse. My parents brought me to the ER and it took them forever to get me in (around 4 hours of extreme pain). I couldn't sit in the chair and tried to lay on the floor and got yelled at so my parents stayed in the waiting room while I laid down in the car. I ended up throwing up so much bile all over myself that I went inside and they immediately brought me back. They took a blood and urine sample and then gave me a CT scan and found out that it was a 5mm kidney stone which is about the size of an eraser on a pencil. I remember they had to give me so much pain meds because I couldn't move or anything because of it. I don't remember much after the CT scan because I fell asleep from all the meds they had me on but I was there for around 15 hours (from when we got there and waited until we got to leave). Now I get kidney stone one every year/everyother year but they are MUCH smaller and I can usually handle them on my own. I remember the first one I had I compared it to getting stabbed over and over while someone poured salt and lemon juice in the cut. I wouldn't wish that pain on my worse enemy.
My dad had kidney stones when i was 5 years old,it was painful as you say,it was the first time i have seen and hear him cry,so i guess stay hydrated out there folks
When in nursing school I watched a kidney stone surgery where they went through the lower back and got rid of a bunch of them. Then about a year ago I experienced one first hand that I passed with painkillers. That was the worst pain I've ever experienced in my life and I never want to experience it ever again.
One of my aunts had kidney stones a long time ago, and my mom said that my aunt told her that it's even worse than childbirth. Kidney stones definitely seem like the most painful thing to happen to a human. I wouldn't wish them on anyone and I hope I never EVER have them
Hey I did that a few years ago and it stayed dislocated for 2 hours before it got reset. Sucked. Make sure to hit physical therapy hard 👍 (and wear a brace so it doesn’t happen again)
Same bro, I also saw someone say their relative got kidney stones from drinking too much caffeine and I felt a bit scared since I drink an unhealthy amount of pop today.
@@squog8009 don’t sweat it, one day or even a week won’t do anything. It’s bad habits over months or years that cause problems. Just try to slowly adjust your diet to be healthier, and drink enough water .5-1 gallon a day :)
I've had the misfortune of having a kidney stone once in my life. I was probably 8 years old and I had to go to the bathroom after watching a movie. Everything was going great that day, I had pizza for lunch, it was the weekends and I played plenty of videogames, and I just finished watching the Iron Man movie. I thought nothing at first since peeing is a mundane task, but as soon as I "released" I noticed something was wrong immediately. THANKFULLY it was a small kidney stone that could be passed naturally, but it was still painful enough that I had to lay down for the next few hours. The thumbnail described it perfectly, "it's like peeing glass." Even though this was more than a decade ago my body still remembers the pain and this video did a great job and reminding me about this repressed memory.
i had 1 before and it hurt a lot. Thankfully it wasn't a very big one and passed naturally but still hurt coming out. I went the extra mile to put on gloves and touch it under a microscope. A way I can describe what it looks like is a normal rock you would find in the sand on a beach. After simple research I concluded that they either be smooth or jagged in texture. Truly scary if you ask me.
Story time. Basically from birth I’ve had a kink of sorts (think of it like a hose kink) in the tube of my kidney since birth. This causes my right kidney to never drain properly meaning that stones build up easy. I got my first diagnosed kidney stone in 2020 when I was 13 (4 mm stone) and one this year when I’m 15 (10 mm stone). Let me tell you, literally the worst experience of my life. I was in a ludicrous amount of pain at random points in time and even the strongest pain medication doesn’t help. I was nauseous all the time and it lasts for about 2 weeks at a time. I had to pass both of the stones without surgery. The worst part is, due to my young age and my developing body, doctors can’t do surgery on my to put a stint in my kidney to open up the tube. So fun
Never had kidney stones nor witnessed a family member or a friend having one, but glad I clicked on this video out of curiosity. This will really convince my sister to drink more water often, thanks for finally uploading a video like this.
My dad told me this story of when he was 12, he started feeling really sick and stuff and when he was taken to the doctor he had symptoms of a kidney stones and had to pee it out.. Sucks that he was 12 and had to pass one that early in his life man-
After peeing lots of blood and almost passing out I went to hospital. They said my kidney was full of stones and would die soon if they don't operate. I had a stent put in and sent home. After few weeks later I went back and had them blasted. Right after the operation I had a spasm. Let me tell you. I wish this pain on no man. It was 10 minutes of intense sweating and vomiting all while going in and out of conciousness from the pain. Then the surgeon came up and said unfortunately he couldn't get all the stones and I need to have another operation. They also got me to pull the 30cm stent out of my peepee. I just got an ultrasound few weeks ago and they said I have another one forming. Yay good times👍
@@toxicdino8676 I sure hope not. It looks like an over active parathyroid is causing hypercalcaemia. I will hopefully be put on the waiting list for surgery soon.
I’m under 18 and i can’t tell if it was kidney stones or just a very bad pain but it feels like hell and sometimes it randomly comes out forcefully and instantly.
Like what the other guy said, see a doctor and don't wait until it gets worse. Even if it's not a kidney stone, pain like that should not be reoccuring. Don't let this scare you though, sometimes pain like that can also just be from cramping muscles, constipation, or premenstrual cramps (if you're female)
I knew a guy who had a kidney stone and also in the past had his front four teeth broken by a metal bat. He said he’d rather get his face knocked in every day than go through kidney stones ever again. Safe to say I drink water 10 times more than before.
I remember when my father had these horrifying pains of kidney stones, and was pretty scared myself, hoping that this would not spread to another family member including myself. I ESPECIALLY don't like the idea of surgery just for removing these awful #1 clogging stones!
I appreciate this video showing what the kidney stones look like up close. I had a 6mm one back in March and got a close look. Lots of little spikes. One thing you may have forgotten to mention is that a biggg factor of calcium kidney stones is an EXCESS of certain types of calcium and calcium supplements are a big no-no. Also you need to be careful about almonds and spinach. The biggest one for a lot of people (if you don't count not drinking enough water and having too much salty food), is black teas and dark colas like Coke, Pepsi, and even root beer. I've unfortunately had to swap my morning tea with coffee. Also, if you're careful with not getting too much on your teeth, citrus is a great way to help with prevention or even just breaking down the kidney stones. This is all advice from my urologist and the side of my family very prone to kidney stones. Water is definitely the key, though. It's why my mom probably evaded one for as long as she did and why I didn't get one until I lost my job and am bad about drinking water when I'm sitting and working alone on my computer all day. I wasn't hydrating as well.
I've had msk (sponge kidney) since I was born and I've passed over 30 stones throughout my life(18 years). I've passed out on pain before. Stones are no joke.
I was born with one of my kidneys being really big, and one being really small. The small kidney ended up shriveling up and dying, and I had to take medicine to make the bigger one go down to a regular size. I only have one kidney now, I don't know if that increases your odds of getting kidney stones, but I really hope I never have to go through that kind of thing.
My uncle had kidney stones, he said that it was the first time in his life that he needed to take opioids for any pain, and he had multiple bone fractures throughout his life.
This was actually pretty interesting, I didn't know exactly what kidney stones were, but now I do! And I feel like the drink water part is directly pointed to me and my 4 ish years of being in waves of constant dehydration. It's really bad and while "just drinking water" is a pretty easy fix, it's hard to get back into the habit after only drinking about 500ml a day. Anyways, thanks for the video!
I drink basically pop and water but this made me realize I should prolly cut down on the pop and drink more water. Hope I never experience kidney stones in my lifetime.
I just turned 23, and I’ve had 2 so far, one when I was twenty and one just a couple of months ago. Kidney problems run in my family, my grandfather having them and my mother having an issue with the tubes leading from her kidney to her bladder. My first stone was in my left and my second in my right.
I have chronic kidney stones. They are extremely annoying. I haven't been able to catch one (yet) but since some of my family members also have to deal with them, my doctor says that they are most likely the transparent, spiky type (she calls the "sea urchin")
my mom had kidney stones, she had to go the hospital to get them surgically removed. the hospital was not very good but thankfully it didn’t cost since we were living in germany. i heard her shouting in pain one time before the surgery when i was home with my sister, i didn’t know what to do so i just stayed in my room lmao
I had kidney stones, worst pain I've ever felt, literally felt like a razor blade came out of my kidney and out my shmeat, and it wasn't fast, it took a few days for it to make it all the way out
Was the pain small first? or did it just start imidiatly in a unberable pain- it kinda stings when i finish peeing but not like a lot so that i have to scream. im scared that i might have kidneystones 💀
@@tulyyyuck4820 nah it hurt so bad it woke me up out of my sleep, and you wouldn't feel pain peeing first you'd feel pain in your kidney first unless it's super small
Hi I'm 25 years old and male, I've had two kidney stones. Worst pain I've ever experienced, no relief from it. The first time I had to have surgery (I was 17) the whole surgery was done through my pp (the worst part was that I signed a paper when students could look at me, they undressed me, put me in a gynecology chair, I watched the students get in and then they gave me anesthesia) and after they took it out I had a tube from my kidney to my bladder for a month (which is then pulled out without anesthesia with forceps again through the pp) the second time I peed it out luckily, but I was medicated for it. I got it hereditary and with the last stone they said they saw another small one on the CT scan that will need to be addressed. Great genes :)
I remember running across somewhere that there is a specific roller coaster that for some reason or another help people pass kidney stones. there are very specific conditions on size of the kidney stone and a few other odds and ends, but the fact it helped at all was weird
I love the difference between different people's pains. I'm a chronically ill person and I've had multiple different illnesses. I've had kidney stones, that was pegged as the worst but it wasn't all that bad for me (which is good cause I get multiple of them). Then I had pancreatitis and that was the worst pain, and it was the worst for me. And then it's something else, because someone's worst pain can be described in multiple different ways. For me it's pancreatitis, nerve pain from an autoimmune disorder (I used to yell at the top of my lungs during wound care), fistulas are pretty bad, I couldn't sit and I could only stay in bed in one position (although I've never had less than two fistulas). It's fascinating.
I was in 5th grade, it was late at night and I woke up to a piercing pain bellow my stomach. It got so bad that I woke up my grandparents and they had to take me to the hospital at 3am. When we showed up there, I told what's been happening and they said they would need a urine sample. For some reason I just couldn't do it, like something was blocking me from giving them the sample. It took a full minute of pain and crying but when it came out, it was looking like tea. They immediately knew something was wrong so they did an X-ray on my bladder and found 3 kidney stones. I'm 20 now and I only passed 1 out of the 3 since I was a child.
Most of the time I can't feel them. But when I do, they never let me forget that they are still there. Usually when that happens, I stop drinking anything that isn't water for about two weeks. Sometimes I'll drink lemonade with out the sugar to flush everything out and hope it'll break down the stones a little bit. But so far nothing.
You left out the part where they sometimes leave a Stent in you for up to several weeks to allow stones to pass after surgery. My stent dislodged as soon as I left the hospital and I was left in more pain overnight. The next day I called the doctor and they had me do an xray to confirm that the stent was dislodged. They gave me fentanyl and had to do emergency surgery that day. It felt just as bad as having a kidney stone. Ever since, I have chronic pain in my lower abdomen. They thought it was scar tissue due to the stent but they can't find the scar tissue or what is causing the pain. So I'm stuck like this until I can get a 2nd opinion. The worst part was I didn't need the kidney stone surgery in the first place because I wasn't in pain. I was afraid of it causing problems down the road so I just wanted it taken care of. Lesson learned... Leave well enough alone!
Suggestion? I had a foot injury many years ago where the longer vibes broke and the small bones at the top were crushed together. "Post traumatic arthritis" is bone spurs and inflama happens around there. And I can definitely feel my for warm up when I walk anywhere. But unlike gout (that spikey uric acid that I take medication to NOT appear in joints... Or in my foot too!), there is little localized pain, and more generalized sense of anxiety, like the pain chemicals are triggering nerves differently, or the pain chemicals even traveling in the blood strangely diffusing. A bit of anti inflammatory does great for the heat and not-pain
I haven't had Kidney stones, but I have had salivary gland stones. I had them for so long without realizing it, but when that little pin-head sized rock reached the final stretch it hurt to eat for a month. I would not wish kidney stones on even my worst enemy, I can only imagine how much more those would hurt.
Me thinking of that cringy era I had where I'd role-playing as young and toon link on youtube, and especially this channel. They're still out there somewhere *shivers*
I saw this video in my recommended and ignored it. 6 days later I had a kidney stone on October 8th and it was the most excruciating experience of my life. I cannot begin to explain what I did to make the pain stop but none of it worked and i eventually laid on the ground screaming for help.
I've had kidney stones twice so far, and it really knocks the wind out of me. One of them was relatively big, and I was stuck in my bed for the whole day until I was able to pass it
My first kidney stone flared up at the worst possible time. I was driving home from work when it hit me. I almost lost control of my vehicle, Thank god I was able to hold it together until I got home. I stumbled through the door shaking and beginning to loose consciousness. Sadly There was no one home and I ended up passing out on the kitchen flood and vomiting everything in my stomach up on the floor before fully blacking out. I laid there in pain for well over an hour before anyone returned home. I was in so much pain I was pretty much paralyzed in place. I had no knowledge of kidney stones at the time So i was dreading the thought of it being some sort of catastrophic kidney failure. I wish I could say the horror stopped there, But the ER they took me too was just the worst. I was in their waiting room for almost 6 hours that way before anyone bothered to do anything.
Worst pain I've ever felt. Kidney stones are what taught me what people mean by nauseating pain. Actually caused me to vomit from how much it hurt. And I've broken my arm and shattered my wrist (same accident) and went through physical therapy for it. I'd rather break another bone than be on the floor writhing in pain from stones again. Luckily I had the most common Oxalate stone which are more rounded compared to the others so on it's way out wasn't bad at all. But I've read that the other stones (i think more specifically the uric acid one) can have spikes. Pretty sure I still have one in there but last I checked with a doctor he said it was small enough to pass and the procedures could be unnecessary risk as even the sonic treatment can cause damage to the kidneys.

I woke up one morning and had a small pain on my left side, I tried to ignore it and do some things to make it stop hurting but it kept getting worse and worse. My parents brought me to the ER and it took them forever to get me in (around 4 hours of extreme pain). I couldn't sit in the chair and tried to lay on the floor and got yelled at so my parents stayed in the waiting room while I laid down in the car. I ended up throwing up so much bile all over myself that I went inside and they immediately brought me back. They took a blood and urine sample and then gave me a CT scan and found out that it was a 5mm kidney stone which is about the size of an eraser on a pencil. I remember they had to give me so much pain meds because I couldn't move or anything because of it. I don't remember much after the CT scan because I fell asleep from all the meds they had me on but I was there for around 15 hours (from when we got there and waited until we got to leave). Now I get kidney stone one every year/everyother year but they are MUCH smaller and I can usually handle them on my own. I remember the first one I had I compared it to getting stabbed over and over while someone poured salt and lemon juice in the cut. I wouldn't wish that pain on my worse enemy.
My dad had kidney stones when i was 5 years old,it was painful as you say,it was the first time i have seen and hear him cry,so i guess stay hydrated out there folks
I've been through this before and I is probably the most pain I have ever been in my life, as a man I'm not afraid to admit I cried like a baby
Dang, this would be excruciating! I’ve heard a lot about these, and I hope I never get one.
Opiate withdrawal is 1000x worse 😂
When in nursing school I watched a kidney stone surgery where they went through the lower back and got rid of a bunch of them. Then about a year ago I experienced one first hand that I passed with painkillers. That was the worst pain I've ever experienced in my life and I never want to experience it ever again.
One of my aunts had kidney stones a long time ago, and my mom said that my aunt told her that it's even worse than childbirth. Kidney stones definitely seem like the most painful thing to happen to a human. I wouldn't wish them on anyone and I hope I never EVER have them
After kidney stones, people say the most painful thing in the whole WOrLd is a plant called gympie gympie, it’s disturbing you should look it up 👀
Recently dislocated my knee cap, that was the most excruciating pain I've ever felt.
Hey I did that a few years ago and it stayed dislocated for 2 hours before it got reset. Sucked. Make sure to hit physical therapy hard 👍 (and wear a brace so it doesn’t happen again)
My dad had kidney stones and I felt attacked when he mentioned not drinking enough water. Now I have more of a reason to 😭💀
Same bro, I also saw someone say their relative got kidney stones from drinking too much caffeine and I felt a bit scared since I drink an unhealthy amount of pop today.
@@squog8009 don’t sweat it, one day or even a week won’t do anything. It’s bad habits over months or years that cause problems. Just try to slowly adjust your diet to be healthier, and drink enough water .5-1 gallon a day :)
Now i get why larry says: ALWAYS. STAY. HYDRATED!!!!!
I've had the misfortune of having a kidney stone once in my life. I was probably 8 years old and I had to go to the bathroom after watching a movie. Everything was going great that day, I had pizza for lunch, it was the weekends and I played plenty of videogames, and I just finished watching the Iron Man movie. I thought nothing at first since peeing is a mundane task, but as soon as I "released" I noticed something was wrong immediately. THANKFULLY it was a small kidney stone that could be passed naturally, but it was still painful enough that I had to lay down for the next few hours. The thumbnail described it perfectly, "it's like peeing glass." Even though this was more than a decade ago my body still remembers the pain and this video did a great job and reminding me about this repressed memory.
i’ve never had kidney stones before! (i hope it stays like this !!)
Same!
@@hammy6968 Samesies!
I will actually kill myself if i get them
i had 1 before and it hurt a lot. Thankfully it wasn't a very big one and passed naturally but still hurt coming out. I went the extra mile to put on gloves and touch it under a microscope. A way I can describe what it looks like is a normal rock you would find in the sand on a beach. After simple research I concluded that they either be smooth or jagged in texture. Truly scary if you ask me.
@@hoods-s oww that sounds horrible! D: i hope that won’t happen again!
Story time. Basically from birth I’ve had a kink of sorts (think of it like a hose kink) in the tube of my kidney since birth. This causes my right kidney to never drain properly meaning that stones build up easy. I got my first diagnosed kidney stone in 2020 when I was 13 (4 mm stone) and one this year when I’m 15 (10 mm stone). Let me tell you, literally the worst experience of my life. I was in a ludicrous amount of pain at random points in time and even the strongest pain medication doesn’t help. I was nauseous all the time and it lasts for about 2 weeks at a time. I had to pass both of the stones without surgery. The worst part is, due to my young age and my developing body, doctors can’t do surgery on my to put a stint in my kidney to open up the tube. So fun
I hope your situation improves❤️
A kink? What
@@L1239-z8l not kink as in kinky. Basically a knot
Can they not remove the kidney?
"It's like peeing glass" now I cannot stop imagining that imagery
There’s a history of this in my family. Several of my Grandma’s sisters (from my mom’s side) had several and trust me it’s worrisome
Just be healthy
@@sniperfield3995 ??
Never had kidney stones nor witnessed a family member or a friend having one, but glad I clicked on this video out of curiosity. This will really convince my sister to drink more water often, thanks for finally uploading a video like this.
I forgot about your channel for a while, then this video popped into my recommended.
What a greeeeeat way to find your channel again
oh man i've found this channel again, im so ready to binge this for hours
My dad told me this story of when he was 12, he started feeling really sick and stuff and when he was taken to the doctor he had symptoms of a kidney stones and had to pee it out.. Sucks that he was 12 and had to pass one that early in his life man-
After peeing lots of blood and almost passing out I went to hospital. They said my kidney was full of stones and would die soon if they don't operate. I had a stent put in and sent home. After few weeks later I went back and had them blasted. Right after the operation I had a spasm. Let me tell you. I wish this pain on no man. It was 10 minutes of intense sweating and vomiting all while going in and out of conciousness from the pain. Then the surgeon came up and said unfortunately he couldn't get all the stones and I need to have another operation. They also got me to pull the 30cm stent out of my peepee. I just got an ultrasound few weeks ago and they said I have another one forming. Yay good times👍
Do you think you’re going to be in pure agony from now on?
@@toxicdino8676 I sure hope not. It looks like an over active parathyroid is causing hypercalcaemia. I will hopefully be put on the waiting list for surgery soon.
I've had a total of 4 kidney stones and 2 were this year. I can honestly say I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
WTF...4 stones??!?!??!??!
4 stones? that sounds horrible
YIKES
drink more milk and water and eat a balanced diet. usually people aren't eating as much and that is what causes it. so can dehydration.
Literally passed my first stone last month 🙃
Nothing short of actual agony
this is legitimately one of my worst fears
100% kidney stones for sure
Knew it
Thank you for making this video! It helped me a lot in getting over my fear of kidney stones
I’m under 18 and i can’t tell if it was kidney stones or just a very bad pain but it feels like hell and sometimes it randomly comes out forcefully and instantly.
I think it is best to go see a doctor just to make sure
Like what the other guy said, see a doctor and don't wait until it gets worse. Even if it's not a kidney stone, pain like that should not be reoccuring. Don't let this scare you though, sometimes pain like that can also just be from cramping muscles, constipation, or premenstrual cramps (if you're female)
this is not cringe! this is a nightmare!!!!
I feel so sorry for Blocko trying to struggle as hard as possible to upload the video...
Honestly from the way he says this stuff it makes me think he went through kidney stones as well.
I knew a guy who had a kidney stone and also in the past had his front four teeth broken by a metal bat.
He said he’d rather get his face knocked in every day than go through kidney stones ever again.
Safe to say I drink water 10 times more than before.
Suddenly I have a urge to go drink water.
I remember when my father had these horrifying pains of kidney stones, and was pretty scared myself, hoping that this would not spread to another family member including myself. I ESPECIALLY don't like the idea of surgery just for removing these awful #1 clogging stones!
I had a coworker who had constant kidney stones. I had to drive him to the hospital around the end of my shift because it got so bad at one point.
I appreciate this video showing what the kidney stones look like up close. I had a 6mm one back in March and got a close look. Lots of little spikes.
One thing you may have forgotten to mention is that a biggg factor of calcium kidney stones is an EXCESS of certain types of calcium and calcium supplements are a big no-no. Also you need to be careful about almonds and spinach.
The biggest one for a lot of people (if you don't count not drinking enough water and having too much salty food), is black teas and dark colas like Coke, Pepsi, and even root beer. I've unfortunately had to swap my morning tea with coffee.
Also, if you're careful with not getting too much on your teeth, citrus is a great way to help with prevention or even just breaking down the kidney stones.
This is all advice from my urologist and the side of my family very prone to kidney stones. Water is definitely the key, though. It's why my mom probably evaded one for as long as she did and why I didn't get one until I lost my job and am bad about drinking water when I'm sitting and working alone on my computer all day. I wasn't hydrating as well.
Man, it's been a while since I've seen this guy.
Different, but still fun!
*starts rapidly drinking water*
I have feared these my entire life I really just don’t want to pee them out
This man has felt something we haven't
I've had msk (sponge kidney) since I was born and I've passed over 30 stones throughout my life(18 years). I've passed out on pain before. Stones are no joke.
I was born with one of my kidneys being really big, and one being really small. The small kidney ended up shriveling up and dying, and I had to take medicine to make the bigger one go down to a regular size.
I only have one kidney now, I don't know if that increases your odds of getting kidney stones, but I really hope I never have to go through that kind of thing.
My uncle had kidney stones, he said that it was the first time in his life that he needed to take opioids for any pain, and he had multiple bone fractures throughout his life.
This video was the most painful thing I’ve seen this week. My pp hurts now.
This was actually pretty interesting, I didn't know exactly what kidney stones were, but now I do! And I feel like the drink water part is directly pointed to me and my 4 ish years of being in waves of constant dehydration. It's really bad and while "just drinking water" is a pretty easy fix, it's hard to get back into the habit after only drinking about 500ml a day. Anyways, thanks for the video!
im the opposite i drink like 3 to 4.5 liters of water everyday
I drink basically pop and water but this made me realize I should prolly cut down on the pop and drink more water. Hope I never experience kidney stones in my lifetime.
I just turned 23, and I’ve had 2 so far, one when I was twenty and one just a couple of months ago. Kidney problems run in my family, my grandfather having them and my mother having an issue with the tubes leading from her kidney to her bladder. My first stone was in my left and my second in my right.
I have chronic kidney stones. They are extremely annoying. I haven't been able to catch one (yet) but since some of my family members also have to deal with them, my doctor says that they are most likely the transparent, spiky type (she calls the "sea urchin")
my mom had kidney stones, she had to go the hospital to get them surgically removed. the hospital was not very good but thankfully it didn’t cost since we were living in germany.
i heard her shouting in pain one time before the surgery when i was home with my sister, i didn’t know what to do so i just stayed in my room lmao
I had kidney stones, worst pain I've ever felt, literally felt like a razor blade came out of my kidney and out my shmeat, and it wasn't fast, it took a few days for it to make it all the way out
Was the pain small first? or did it just start imidiatly in a unberable pain- it kinda stings when i finish peeing but not like a lot so that i have to scream. im scared that i might have kidneystones 💀
@@tulyyyuck4820 nah it hurt so bad it woke me up out of my sleep, and you wouldn't feel pain peeing first you'd feel pain in your kidney first unless it's super small
@@Reddeadredemption3 thanks that kinda gave me a relief
this made my legs and body feel weird
blocko: DRINK WATER
me who drank just one glass of water all day and it is now almost 9PM: 😎
Hi I'm 25 years old and male, I've had two kidney stones. Worst pain I've ever experienced, no relief from it. The first time I had to have surgery (I was 17) the whole surgery was done through my pp (the worst part was that I signed a paper when students could look at me, they undressed me, put me in a gynecology chair, I watched the students get in and then they gave me anesthesia) and after they took it out I had a tube from my kidney to my bladder for a month (which is then pulled out without anesthesia with forceps again through the pp) the second time I peed it out luckily, but I was medicated for it. I got it hereditary and with the last stone they said they saw another small one on the CT scan that will need to be addressed. Great genes :)
I can feel the pain through the video. I feel like I'm going to pass out
still remember watching this guy when i was in first grade
This pain is like trying to pee while you’re dehydrated during full blown opiate withdrawal 😅
"You dehydrated ray of sunshine!" lol
I feel like blocko had definetily felt a kidney stone and was so traumatised by it that he made a video about it
I remember running across somewhere that there is a specific roller coaster that for some reason or another help people pass kidney stones. there are very specific conditions on size of the kidney stone and a few other odds and ends, but the fact it helped at all was weird
I’ve never had a kidney stone, but Blocko is acting like he has had one.
I really do feel like his animator had one, with how he's talking about it
I love the difference between different people's pains. I'm a chronically ill person and I've had multiple different illnesses. I've had kidney stones, that was pegged as the worst but it wasn't all that bad for me (which is good cause I get multiple of them). Then I had pancreatitis and that was the worst pain, and it was the worst for me. And then it's something else, because someone's worst pain can be described in multiple different ways. For me it's pancreatitis, nerve pain from an autoimmune disorder (I used to yell at the top of my lungs during wound care), fistulas are pretty bad, I couldn't sit and I could only stay in bed in one position (although I've never had less than two fistulas). It's fascinating.
I was in 5th grade, it was late at night and I woke up to a piercing pain bellow my stomach. It got so bad that I woke up my grandparents and they had to take me to the hospital at 3am. When we showed up there, I told what's been happening and they said they would need a urine sample. For some reason I just couldn't do it, like something was blocking me from giving them the sample. It took a full minute of pain and crying but when it came out, it was looking like tea. They immediately knew something was wrong so they did an X-ray on my bladder and found 3 kidney stones. I'm 20 now and I only passed 1 out of the 3 since I was a child.
Oh my goodness
Apple cider vinegar
Lemon
Ginger
I've never had a stone although my mother had them. This is what she says works.
Most of the time I can't feel them. But when I do, they never let me forget that they are still there. Usually when that happens, I stop drinking anything that isn't water for about two weeks. Sometimes I'll drink lemonade with out the sugar to flush everything out and hope it'll break down the stones a little bit. But so far nothing.
@@WebSlinger62 I really hope you eventually get them out 🙏
Oh man hopefully you dont feel that pain ever again.
You left out the part where they sometimes leave a Stent in you for up to several weeks to allow stones to pass after surgery. My stent dislodged as soon as I left the hospital and I was left in more pain overnight. The next day I called the doctor and they had me do an xray to confirm that the stent was dislodged. They gave me fentanyl and had to do emergency surgery that day. It felt just as bad as having a kidney stone. Ever since, I have chronic pain in my lower abdomen. They thought it was scar tissue due to the stent but they can't find the scar tissue or what is causing the pain. So I'm stuck like this until I can get a 2nd opinion. The worst part was I didn't need the kidney stone surgery in the first place because I wasn't in pain. I was afraid of it causing problems down the road so I just wanted it taken care of. Lesson learned... Leave well enough alone!
Today's fact: Some cat breeds (called 'puppy cats') are bred specifically to exhibit dog-like behavior.
O.O
I've had these twice. The pain is like nothing else.
Peeing glass?! What the hell is this stuff?!?!
Edit:- I know it's super early for an edit but I think it's the pencil sea urchin.
What... isn't it kidney stones?
Suggestion? I had a foot injury many years ago where the longer vibes broke and the small bones at the top were crushed together. "Post traumatic arthritis" is bone spurs and inflama happens around there. And I can definitely feel my for warm up when I walk anywhere.
But unlike gout (that spikey uric acid that I take medication to NOT appear in joints... Or in my foot too!), there is little localized pain, and more generalized sense of anxiety, like the pain chemicals are triggering nerves differently, or the pain chemicals even traveling in the blood strangely diffusing. A bit of anti inflammatory does great for the heat and not-pain
Kidney stones?
prob
Or maybe Cystitis
I haven't had Kidney stones, but I have had salivary gland stones. I had them for so long without realizing it, but when that little pin-head sized rock reached the final stretch it hurt to eat for a month. I would not wish kidney stones on even my worst enemy, I can only imagine how much more those would hurt.
i loved it when life nogging went: "its noggin life"
Him: Drink Water
People in the Bikini Bottom: Dude we literally breathe water, its no problem
Yo Noggin my pee is white and sticky. Is it glass?? Im scared
It’s not glass
ayo 🤨📸
😳😳
Ayo 💀💀💀💀💀
Hol up
I’m getting myself some water
The way that Blocko says cringe got a good laugh out of me
Me thinking of that cringy era I had where I'd role-playing as young and toon link on youtube, and especially this channel. They're still out there somewhere *shivers*
Thank you for caring about us blocko! Much appreciated.
I saw this video in my recommended and ignored it.
6 days later I had a kidney stone on October 8th and it was the most excruciating experience of my life. I cannot begin to explain what I did to make the pain stop but none of it worked and i eventually laid on the ground screaming for help.
I've had kidney stones twice so far, and it really knocks the wind out of me. One of them was relatively big, and I was stuck in my bed for the whole day until I was able to pass it
Why do I get the feeling that this video was speaking from experience?
My first kidney stone flared up at the worst possible time. I was driving home from work when it hit me. I almost lost control of my vehicle, Thank god I was able to hold it together until I got home. I stumbled through the door shaking and beginning to loose consciousness. Sadly There was no one home and I ended up passing out on the kitchen flood and vomiting everything in my stomach up on the floor before fully blacking out. I laid there in pain for well over an hour before anyone returned home. I was in so much pain I was pretty much paralyzed in place. I had no knowledge of kidney stones at the time So i was dreading the thought of it being some sort of catastrophic kidney failure. I wish I could say the horror stopped there, But the ER they took me too was just the worst. I was in their waiting room for almost 6 hours that way before anyone bothered to do anything.
I do not blame you for avoiding this video. They are scary and very worrying
"Please. Just Drink water. you _dehydrated_ ray of sunshine."
now *that* is some real comedy right there.
great, now i have another thing to worry about.
just watching this simplified video makes me hurt..
Worst pain I've ever felt. Kidney stones are what taught me what people mean by nauseating pain. Actually caused me to vomit from how much it hurt. And I've broken my arm and shattered my wrist (same accident) and went through physical therapy for it. I'd rather break another bone than be on the floor writhing in pain from stones again. Luckily I had the most common Oxalate stone which are more rounded compared to the others so on it's way out wasn't bad at all. But I've read that the other stones (i think more specifically the uric acid one) can have spikes. Pretty sure I still have one in there but last I checked with a doctor he said it was small enough to pass and the procedures could be unnecessary risk as even the sonic treatment can cause damage to the kidneys.
