Thread: Passed a kidney stone. So I guess I can cross that off my bucket list.

    I presumed that Geoff wouldn't have been allowed to post that without having first provided photographic evidence to his fellow mods?

    I had one when I was about 17 or 18. Not again since. I likened it to giving birth to a broken beer bottle. For those of you unsure, I'm saying it was a negative experience.
    It is now my duty to completely drain you.

    what was your worst pain?

    I would've thought kidney stones were the worst pain there was for man!

    I'm fortunate enough not to experience it, I seen my dad and my best friend go through it. Never seen them in such agony!

    The kidney stone wins on longevity; but the wire in the 'ball' wins on intensity.

    On second thought, I take that question back. I don't want to know anymore!

    One of my Dad's adages was: Never ask a question to which you might not like the answer.

    ... and, yeah; I would hope to never have to experience the like (or anything close), again.
