change your diet - drink a shitload of water every day, good, claen , filtered water. no soda, coffe, tea, easy on the sugars, legumes and lightly or not sweet fruits. water mostly, at least a gallon a day\nquit the vitamins too and any other pills you might be taking

It could be a kidney stone you are trying to pass.  Contact your doctor.  Do not take chances with your health.  It will be cheaper to see a doctor than pay for an emergency room visit at a later date.

I am sorry to hear about your dad,it annoys me when people on yahoo answers tell people who have kidney failure to drink plenty,as this is the wost thing you can do, anyway your poor dad may find relief from swabbing his mouth with moistened swabs.chewing gum wont help as he wont be making much saliva at the moment.

Get some fermented mongolian horse milk. Eat some fiber rich meals. To clean out the gallstones and bile ducts, try to find the receipy for epsom salts combined with olive oil. It must be done correctly.

I would go by Dr. Hulda Clark in answering this question. She says you should first do a parasite cleanse, then kidney cleanse, then liver cleanse, and then a colon cleanse. I'll add her website, so you can read up on it.

It hurts like hell!!  In my case it desolved before I got the pleasure and joy of actually peeing it out but that little stone ripping it's way through your kidney is one heckof a trip through pain.  Ask your doctor for some hefty pain killers before it starts too badly.

Drink lots and lots and lots and lots of water!!!!! I pray you can get rid of it without too much pain. It depends on the size of the stone. Below are some web sites you can visit. Good luck and God bless.

I am an alternative medicinal therapist and an ex nurse and i can tell you that you DO have stones. Pain in the back is a common sign and so is blood in the urine. Stop worrying you don't have cancer. They can either dissolve them by sound waves or by tablets and they may remove them by an op(but they don't like to do this unless is becomes life threatening) You will get terrible pain if they try to leave the kidneys, so be prepared.If this happens get to the E R.\n\nGloria(BSYA)\ngloriashealth@btinternet.com

I am sorry that you are going through this.\n\nFirst it depends on the size and type of stone.  Staghorn kidney stones have to surgically removed.  These are stones that have spikes and do not pass naturally.  These stones are easily detected and the physician would have told you if he/she thought that you had one.  \n\nSecond, it depends on the size of the stone.  The bigger the stone, of course the harder it is to pass.  Have you made contact with a urologist regarding this?\n\nTricks:  assuming that your stone is small and easy to pass.  The amount of water sounds good.  Also gravity helps.  Walk around as much as possible.  If you need to return to the emergency department, ask for a drug called Toradol.  It is non-narcotic and works excellent for kidney stones and since this will be your fifth visit to the ED for the same thing, whole heartily request to be either transferred to a facility that does lithotripsy or at least to facility that has a urologist on staff.\n\nI hope this helps and best of luck with your situation.

.. I can tell you that I have cured many bladder infections literally in a matter of hours,.. through the simple application of what is referred to as "Moxabustion",.. in Chinese Medicine. ... You would want to find a certified acupuncturist to recieve this treatment,... which involves the application of heat via a slow burning herb; "Moxa",.. to specific acupuncture points on the body. .... The treatment takes about ten minutes and is completely painless. In fact it usually feels quite good to the reciever.\n\nYou need to know that it is also very important that you eliminate all sugar, refined foods, alcohol, and cold foods or drinks from your diet. Such foods will promote the infection and must be eliminated in order to promote and maintain a healthy functioning kidney/bladder system. ............ \n\nReplace them with plenty of raw, organic, dark green veggies, ... such as raw spinach and lightly steamed Kale. ............. A great juice to drink every day to help maintain a good acid/alkaline balance in your kidney/bladder system,.. is "Pure" .. Cranberry Juice. ... This is not the likes of Ocean Spray cranberry juice which has corn syrup and other sweeteners added to it and you should avoid like the plague. ... I am referring to a straight up pure cranberry juice that has nothing added to it and no dilution done to it. .......... \n\nThis is a very bitter juice to the taste,.. but you will feel the benefit it provides you when you drink it,.. as it will help alot to maintain the proper alkaline balance in your body,.. which is crucial towards avoiding infection in your urinary system. ..... If you find it too bitter to tolerate,.. you could dilute it 50/50 with water. ... You will have to find a good Health Food Store near you to find this type of juice.

Especially if you are male, you need to see a doctor right away. My uncle, who felt just fine, suddenly had blood &, as he described it - "ickies & other matter", in his urine which quickly resulted in him not being able to go at all. Turned out he had advanced renal (kidney) cancer & was totally unaware of it. Please don't put off seeing the doctor, even if you find out it isn't something quite as horrible because I'd hate to think of anyone having to go through the mess he's just been through. And, before you think, "No, that couldn't be it;" stop to think of the fact that you aren't supposed to get blood & stones in your urine. Call for an appointment today, even if you have to visit a free clinic.\n\nGood luck!

I suspect that the calcium in hard water becomes kidney stones. Buy a calciun suppliment if you need more.

The question has been answered.  The bigger question is how to prevent.  And, a couple of MD's found and easy solution, but you have to do it religiously.\n\n4 ounces of fresh lemon juice in 2 liters of water.  This is what you have to drink every day for the rest of your life.  If you have chronic stones developing.\n\nThere is chemical in the juice which breaks down the stone slowly and will prevent it from forming.  Most of us have a similar chemical in our bodies, so we don't develop stones.  The unlucky people who genetically don't or don't produce enough develop stones.

kidney stones can be removed by passing them yourself, or by using ultra-sound to shatter them--yet gallstones in the gall bladder can only be removed by taking out the gall bladder to my knowledge- my wife had it done a few months ago--they do it by laporoscopy- just a small incision near the belly button- not major invasive surgery anymore-- maybe i week recovery- just to rest and catch up- any ??-holler back at me- your friend should be fine -don't worry--today- it's only day surgery-after they wake up from the anesthesia- they send them home--not bad at all-really!! don't worry !!!!

I had my first (and hopefully last) kidney stone a couple of months ago. It started out with a general upset stomach sort of thing - felt like I might have diarrhea. I took Pepto Bismol (bad idea) and threw up a couple of times (so hard that I burst several small blood vessels around my eyes - it looked like I had red freckles). The pain increased but was concentrated on my left side, just below my ribcage, both front and back. I couldn't be still - I couldn't stand, sit, lie down, lean over, kneel, crouch, lay on my back with my feet up on the wall - believe me, I tried every position I could think of. The pain became excruciating and I finally went to the emergency room (where I sat for several hours). They did a CT scan and it showed the kidney stone. By the time I met with a doctor, the pain had receded quite a bit. They gave me a prescription for Vicodin, instructions to make an appointment with a urologist, and a stupid little plastic funnel with a screen so I could strain my urine and catch the little bugger if I passed it on my own. I ended up having minor surgery to remove it two days later.\n\nThe urologist told me that I would feel the worst pain when the stone was leaving the kidney and entering the ureter, then when it passed over a bundle of blood vessels near my pelvic bone, again when it entered my bladder, and again when it exited my bladder and made its bid for freedom.\n\nSo that was the long answer to your question. The short answer is PAIN. Lots and lots of pain concentrated on one side or the other, often in your back. Excruciating pain that literally makes you beg for your mommy.
