This is me. After the most excruciating pain of my life. I've birthed 3 little humans and that was nothing compared to what I experienced yesterday. If you haven't experienced it you might not get it and you might think I'm being a tad dramatic. But seriously. Worst. Pain. Ever.
Kidney stone.
Yep, a teeny tiny little thing can be the cause of enormous pain.
I was sitting at work feeling fine when all of a sudden my stomach started getting upset and then wham. Felt like a ton of bricks just slammed into my back. It was radiating to the front within an hour. I booked on out of work and barely drove to my chiropractor. I really don't know how I made the 30 minute drive. I could hardly shift because my leg was on the side of the stone! Somehow I made it there without passing out. Larry met me there and she said get to the emergency room! So we headed out immediately.
I could not get comfortable at all in the car. I ended up in the fetal position just praying we would get there soon.
Thankfully, they got me back into a room and into a cat scan pretty quickly. Sure enough I had a kidney stone. It was about to enter my bladder so they said no surgery, just wait for it to pass.
I had initially declined any medication. I never take any meds. Not even a tylenol. Ever. I'm a hippy-dippy, diy, essential oils can cure anything kind of girl.
But after about an hour in the hospital, I said- Give me the drugs!
Immediately, ahhhhhh sweet relief!
Rest of the day I was laid up on the couch, feeling like I'd been beat up in a street fight.
I wouldn't wish one of these on anyone! I pray I never experience it again!
How about yall? Anyone experience this kind of agony before??
