I hear the ultrasound stuff they do has gotten much better at breaking up stones these days.
I wish they even could have tried it on me but too small and already stuck in my ureter, they could barely see it on ct scans. Instead I had that whole nephrostomy ordeal because they fucked up trying to take it out.
i've had one kidney stone and the doctor casually mentioned that it was "weird" that i felt the pain in the urethra rather than the ureter and simply never elaborated on that so thanks doc
My brother had a kidney stone that they needed to break up with ultrasound. Apparently the pain is crazy but it’s very hard to find painkillers that work for it, so instead they have him something with the side effect of short term memory loss so he wouldn’t be traumatized by the pain.
He remembers going in for the procedure and then sitting on the bus back home.

A friend of mine dislocated his shoulder in a skiing accident, and when they re-set the joint in the ED that’s the sort of drug they gave him. He says it was quite effective, doesn’t recall the pain from that maneuver at all.
When there took out my kidney stone and my kidney was blocked because they damaged my ureter they gave me dilaudid and morphine for the pain I was in but it didn't even touch it
My dad's been scheduled for neck surgery late February. He's been having chronic pain from a compressed spine for the last half year or so and finally went to get an MRI that told him without surgery a single unlucky fall or jolt could make him a quadraplegic. Stenosis I think they called his condition.
So in the meanwhile he's on really good pain medication which is making him foggy in the head once it kicks in. And the man already had a tendency to be a bit dopy at times so my mother is having fun dealing with that.

Are you sure he wasn't simply put under? Like, I don't remember the procedure for getting my wisdom teeth removed, I just remember waking up at home with a ton of gauze in my mouth - but in that case I was transported by my mother, who would gladly tell you about all the delirious stuff I was trying to write down during the missing time.
Either way, seems irresponsible for the practitioner to utilize such a drug without someone to accompany your brother while he was under the influence.

Last time I had surgery scheduled I spent a lot of time around 2 AM trying to figure out if there was any way to tell the difference between an actual anesthetic and a really effective paralytic+amnestic.

Basically, yes. I've taken photos of it every day to chart the progress. I'll post a collage at the end when it's all healed.
it's just very explicit in hacksaw's case
Millennials? pshaw
He could always turn out like ol' Soulblighter
I don't think Soulblighter was the protagonist
he had pains last week that lead to the paramedics being called in and they thought he had a heart attack, it was causing him so much trouble
Mine was an ordeal, blacking out from pain and all, and it was less than 4mm

As one of the community medical people let me say that's absurdly large.
when I had to go to an ENT he said my uvula is dagger-shaped and 'he'd never seen one like that before'
thanks doc, for whatever the fuck that means
if you haven't at this point, you're highly unlikely to
my old man gets them and has since his teens, but I never have mercifully
Because I just got a report from my echocardiogram and it doesn't sound great to me
Drink lots of water!
Which is odd apparently because they say kidney stones usually hurt in your back
They checked me for my heart first then my appendix before they saw the stone in my ureter in the ct scan
It sat there for months unmoving before they took it out and butchered my ureter and nearly killed my right kidney.
Oh nice, my brother in law has a 6mm one working its way through his system right now. Hi5
The stone on the left came out of the pig on the right.

I think I preferred the time before I knew about the existence of this.
Which I guess is a "good news, everybody" sort of situation.
