Early this past summer I had some pain that was very bothersome but not something I had to go to the hospital. Not to play down the pain, but in 2004 I would get to the point where I would vomit and dry heave to no end and would end up in the ER. Yes, the drug Delotid is frigging awesome baby!!! Man, that stuff sorta saved my life. Took all pain away. So, I have been trying to avoid that stuff again.
Anyway, I have had symptoms off and on, but I didn't see a doctor about them. You either need surgery or you don't, you know?? I never found the pain meds to be very useful for kidney stones. I mean all the way to oxycotin: not applicable to this kind of pain. Well, it got bad enough that I HAD to see someone. So I did. CT showed two stones: one in the upper right quadrant of the right kidney, and one stuck in the right ureter above the bladder. Since I had had symptoms for months, the urologist figured that this stuck stone had been causing all my problems. The one in the kidney was 5mm, and I never heard what size the one was in the ureter. I figure it was pretty big. They wanted me to have a doctor use a cytoscope to snatch it out. I found this out right before going to Los Angeles for a seminar. I began taking Flomax, and spent the night in LA not sleeping and vomiting again, so I said no more Flomax. Get home and find this website, and figure anything is preferable to what I knew I would be facing. So, Wednesday evening I took one dose of stuff: 2 ounces Olive Oil, and two ounces of fresh lemon juice. And wait.
Went to the movies Thanksgiving night. Went to the bathroom prior to the movie and it felt "weird". Really weird. I had to go after the movie, and I felt something happening, a very odd sensation, and out comes a frigging humongous stone. Good gawd!!! It was bigger around than a pea, and sort of longer too. BUT, although it felt odd, it really did not hurt. It went into the urinal and I couldn't snatch it out. If it was a toiled bowl, public or not, I would have reached in and got it. Sort of like a trophy, eh? I feel deprived.
Now I will use the lemon juice to try to dissolve the one in the kidney, and pray. Monday I will call the doctor's office and see how big that stone was. And my stones are always the calcium ones, the most common kind. I figure I will get the magnesium and zinc supplement and see about the baking soda too. Thanks for the information guys.

Because Last NIGHT in my final desparation I drank 4 oz of Virgin Olive Oil and 4 oz of Ice cold Lemon mixed and this morning at 5:00 am it passed.
I honestly feel like a new person. The 4 prior olive oil and lemon juices did ease the pain, a bit, but I was drinking a gallon of water a day, a 1/2 gallon of Cranberry Juice and taking cranberry pills and AZO...the motrin and the pain pills~ but I think that the larger concaution of lemon juice and olive oil last night (followed by 2 bottles of water)pushed it from the Bladder out.
Once it was in the Bladder... like 4 days ago... I only felt like I had to pee all the time... there was no deadly pain like it was when it left the kidney initially.
Good LUCK!

My conclusion was (1) my stones are not as near bad as others on this site, I can't even imagine what they are going through and my sympathy goes out to them and (2) this would not work for everyone since there are different stones, sizes and body chemistry. However, since my pain was still nagging at my Ureter since I've been back from the ER, I thought I'd give the Olive Oil and Lemon Juice drink a shot. I would have to say that it's not all that bad of a drink; it's almost like a lemon zest salad dressing, which by the way might not be a bad dressing the salads. You could kill 2 birds with one stone, have it as a dressing and get rid of your kidney stones. It was around 8:00 pm when I guzzled it down. About 30 minutes later I had a tuna fish sandwich with some iced tea and gram crackers. By 8:45 pm my pain had completely stopped! As some have reported about being nausea after drinking it, I didn't experience that. As I'm writing this its 9:08 am the next morning and I have urinated 3 times since and no stone. Also I have experienced ZERO pain, no nagging on the right side at all. So I am going to keep everyone updated with my progress over the next few days and weeks until the stone passes. I am not going to drink the salad dressing drink until I start to feel the pain coming back. I will though drink plenty of fluids until the stone passes.
My other task is to try and get the remaining stones in my kidneys resolved by following what "4/23/2006: Bertha from Phoenix " wrote about in her post- However, I am going to take on a daily basis 400 mg of Magnesium, 1 gm Calcium and (B-Complex 2 times daily). I believe this only works if you have calcium oxalate stones. I don't know if this would work on the other types of stones.
My History of Kidney Stones:
I had my first attack 1994 about 3:30 in the morning. Since I didn't know what it was I decided to go to the ER after 30 minutes of pain. Once I got the ER the pain had stopped. They kept me there and did CT scan and X-rays. That's when they discovered that I have kidney stones. After that I never had another attack until 2004, ten years later. I think I had about 3 attacks in 2004, went to the ER once again. Then another CT scan and x-rays, that's when they discovered both of my kidneys are filled will small stones, they were anywhere between 2mm - 4mm. I am still trying to get an estimate on exactly how many stones are actually in there. The stones that I have are calcium oxalate. They sent me to a nutritionist to explain about the foods to avoid. Which were nuts, berries, chocolate and etc...They also did every single test that you could imagine to see if my body was producing high levels of calcium oxalate. Which it wasn't, they had no idea of how I got them and told me that my body is not producing the levels of calcium oxalate that could form the stones. The only thing I can figure out was that it must have been something that I ate or drank a lot of or(lack of) in the past, maybe about 10 years ago or so. When I lived in Arizona back in 1994 for 6 years (now looking back at it) I can remember when I didn't drink that much water and I would take in high levels of workout supplements such as weight gainer and creatine for about 1 year. I am not sure if that had anything to do with it or not but I think something that I did in my past must have contributed to me forming the stones. I am 36 years old health male and eat fairly health foods (no junk foods). I don't over eat too much of one thing. Since 2nd episode in 2004 I started making sure I drink plenty of water. I have water at every meal and throughout the day. I would say I have about (4 -6) glasses of 8 oz of water a day. I know that isn't enough but I bump up my water intake when I start passing stones to 10 -12 glasses of 8oz water a day. Since 2004 drinking more water especially over the last 2 years my attacks are happening more frequent, so I am guessing the water is flushing out my stones. In 2006 I had 3 attacks as well and went back to the doctor again and they said that the stones were still there in both kidneys but had not grown at all in size at all. One thing that is really strange is that ALL of my attacks have been on the right side; I have never had an attack on the left side. I know the left side is due so I am hoping to find some good remedies. Thank God I have free medical benefits from the military or this would have cost me a fortune every time I went to the ER and doctor. The only way I could cope with the pain was to go the ER and have them give me Demerol. The doctors tell me that my stones are too small for surgery and that I will have to pass them.
The last CT scan as of September 21, 2007, found small stones still in both kidneys, 2mm-3mm. My task is to try and get the remaining stones in my kidneys resolved by following what "4/23/2006: Bertha from Phoenix " wrote about in her post- However, I am going to take on a daily basis 400 mg of Magnesium, 1 gm Calcium and (B-Complex 2 times daily). I believe this only works if you have calcium oxalate stones. I don't know if this would work on the other types of stones. I am hoping this well dissolve the stones since my kidneys are not forming them anymore.
Wish us all the best with our stones and remember "Try to Jump up and Down or may go for a jog the next time your passing a stone". Just make sure you do it in room where your neighbors don't see you.

I am not sure if that had anything to do with it or not but I think something that I did in my past must have contributed to me forming the stones. I am 36 years old health male and eat fairly health foods (no junk foods). I don't over eat too much of one thing. Since 2nd episode in 2004 I started making sure I drink plenty of water. I have water at every meal and throughout the day. I would say I have about (4 -6) glasses of 8 oz of water a day. I know that isn't enough but I bump up my water intake when I start passing stones to 10 -12 glasses of 8oz water a day. Since 2004 drinking more water especially over the last 2 years my attacks are happening more frequent, so I am guessing the water is flushing out my stones. In 2006 I had 3 attacks as well and went back to the doctor again and they said that the stones were still there in both kidneys but had not grown at all in size at all. One thing that is really strange is that ALL of my attacks have been on the right side; I have never had an attack on the left side. I know the left side is due so I am hoping to find some good remedies. Thank God I have free medical benefits from the military or this would have cost me a fortune every time I went to the ER and doctor. The only way I could cope with the pain was to go the ER and have them give me Demerol. The doctors tell me that my stones are too small for surgery and that I will have to pass them.
The last CT scan as of September 21, 2007, found small stones still in both kidneys, 2mm-3mm. My task is to try and get the remaining stones in my kidneys resolved by following what "4/23/2006: Bertha from Phoenix " wrote about in her post- However, I am going to take on a daily basis 400 mg of Magnesium, 1 gm Calcium and (B-Complex 2 times daily). I believe this only works if you have calcium oxalate stones. I don't know if this would work on the other types of stones. I am hoping this well dissolve the stones since my kidneys are not forming them anymore.
Wish us all the best with our stones and remember "Try to Jump up and Down or may go for a jog the next time your passing a stone". Just make sure you do it in room where your neighbors don't see you.
