Never had no pain with it, until it moved into the top of the urethra. Looked online for answers. Found this site. Dealt with the blockage through Sunday. Went to the store to buy the "cure." I used it a couple of times during Sunday, but went back to store tyo buy a week's supply of apple juice and lemon juice.
I drinked mostly lemon water with glasses of apple juice. No plain water. I passed it Monday night. Was glad to be able to piss again. All the formula gave me diarrhea like symptoms today. I guess it flushed out both areas.
Feel like I did 20 years ago now. Nothing can compare to not being able to pee. Glad its over with. I had one last year with severe backache the same size that went through me like butter. This one loged when I was out of water at the end of a pee.
They say diet plays a role in repeat symptoms. Lots of meat, milk, cheese and similar food items build up inside the body. Learn to eat correctly to help eliminate the problem.
Eat more vegetables and less meat. Drink juices and clean water over beverages. If you get sick with this, a blockage, try the apple cider vinegar with a ton of apple juice and lemon juice. A prayer helps too!

A new event of a stone became troublesome a couple of months ago. Following reading a "cure" on these pages I was keen to try it out as the prospect of further Lithotripsy wasn't appealing.
Well I can tell you the cure worked and I seem to have "washed out" all of the stones ( an ultra sound scan in February found two) by dissolving them and expelling them naturally via the waterworks.For a couple of days it was a bit uncomfortable as the residual gravel passed through the system.
The dosage and mix I used was as follows:
Take 1 fresh lemon, cut in half and get the juice out in a squeezer. Remove the pips but keep the residual insides of the lemon. One lemon should give you 2 fl'oz of juice.Add 1 fl'oz of apple cider vinegar, do this with a measuring jug.Top up the mix from 3 fl'oz to 900 ml mark with cold water, stir and pour the mix into two empty 500 ml plastic bottles.
For the first week drink both of these every day and you will notice a difference to how you pass water within a couple of days. After the first week you should feel some relief of the symptoms of a stone like I did. By the end of week 3 my symptoms had gone completely.
I now continue to drink a 500 ml bottle of the mix each day just to keep things clear.
Note: it is important to use a fresh lemon as the juice is as natural as it comes. Bottled lemon juice is derived from concentrate and includes chemicals and additives. One lemon with produce 2 fl'oz of juice.

I initially started my 1st couple days treatment with 2oz Apple Cider Vinegar in 6 oz water 4x day... It was gross and my stomach couldn't take anymore. After that I just limited the same dose to 2x day and was tolerable. I also drank a half gallon water and resumed some bad habits like coffee and soda. Jay thanks for heads up on chanca piedra and gonna do it and see if something happens but I really think my stones are gone.
I continue with my Apple Cider Vinegar 2x day cuz I noticed some other benefits like congestion from allergies and joint pain in both knees, ankles and pinky finger(broke few years ago) have just about all gone away. I wake up feeling normal and I am sleeping much better. I used to wake up so congested and tired in the morn... My head felt like a sack of cement and eyes blurry and bulging... I now wake up with no congestion feeling well rested and my eyes are focused!!! Hope this helps all in need and will follow up on any replies.... Take care, John

This morn woke up to same pain level as yesterday morn so I questioned how much relief came from the massive dose of ibuprofen from 24 hrs earlier. I bought raw unfiltered organic apple cider vinegar as a backup if the lemon thing didnt work so decided to take that approach this morn. I took no pain relievers to see if there would be real relief from the ACV. I mixed 2oz Apple Cider Vinegar with 6oz water and within half hour about half pain was gone. 1 hour later did 3oz Apple Cider Vinegar 5oz water... It's almost an hour since last mixture and I feel only slight discomfort when I get up from chair... about 90% of the pain is gone in 3 hours.
Something good is going on here and so far I can undeniably recommend Apple Cider Vinegar for immediate relief. I plan on doing this 3-4 times a day until something hopefully passes and don't think my stomach can handle any more Apple Cider Vinegar than that. After 3 hrs I do have discomfort in stomach but think 5oz in 2hrs may be a bit much for my system and light meal might help. In my case ACV gave amazing results immediately and encourage to chose over lemons. Will post progress in few days.....John

I even stopped drinking milk for two years thinking that would help, which it did but then my body just switched from producing Calcium stones to producing Uric Acid stones instead from drinking so much Orange juice. So, now I am only drinking distilled water which is water in its purest form.
I have been told that minerals in tap water or filtered water can cause stones. That drinking soda can cause stones and that eating chips and other salty foods can cause stones and of course dairy products can cause stones but I had no idea that drinking a lot of Orange juice can cause Acid stones.
I have also used Uriflow which did work on some stones and also Renavive which is supposed to be twice as strong as Uriflow according to their advertisement.
Both worked for awhile then for me they stopped being as effective for some reason? Perhaps my body started to get used to taking them so for me they are no longer as effective. No matter the reason the stones continue so now I have found this site.
I am a big guy well over six feet actually closer to seven feet tall and large framed as well. So, I doubled the mix because of my size.
After reading about how taking Lemon Juice with Olive Oil seemed to help so many I decided that might just be helpful. And also, after reading that Apple Cider Vinegar is stronger than Lemon juice I decided to substitute the Apple Cider Vinegar instead of the Lemon Juice.
I have just taken 4oz of Apple Cider Vinegar and 4oz of Olive Oil mixed with about three tablespoons of honey and some Maple pancake syrup mixed in as well to sweeten the mix.
It burned all the way down with a strong acid taste but sweetened by the Honey and Maple Syrup so it went down better than I had thought. After taking the mix I had trouble breathing a little from the strong fumes from the Apple Cider Vinegar, I took some deep breaths and then chased it all down with 16oz of filtered water. I have noticed an improvement already in the pain level of my current Kidney Stone. The sharp pain is now almost gone!!!
Thanks to everyone for your kindness and suggestions, I will see how this works and leave feedback.
