Kidney stone! Two Tuesdays ago, I got this pain in my upper/mid back. It kept getting worse and worse, until I was moaning in pain. Nothing I did seemed to help. Finally, though, it went away. I chalked it up to bloating since I have IBS, and I've had similar problems with that (though now I kind of wonder if the other times might have been kidney stones, too).
Anyway, the pain came back at about the same time the next day, only this time it was worse, and it just would not go away. I was just in agony. I've heard that kidney stones are about as painful as childbirth, and I believe it. I didn't think I could take any more, but there was nothing else I could do. I finally had to have my dad call an ambulance. I almost threw up walking to the ambulance, but I couldn't. I thought they'd give me morphine or something, but it turns out I was just being naive.
I felt better after a while, so I had to wait a long time in the waiting room. Only it started hurting really badly again, and they would not get to me. Finally, they had to bump me up because I was causing a bit of a scene. I felt better soon after I got to my room. My nurse was named Joy, heheh. My doctor said I'd just have to pass the stone, but it turned out not to hurt if I drank plenty of water.
They gave me some pain meds, too, but I didn't need them.Anyway, it's kind of uncommon for someone my age to have kidney stones. It could be because I was taking a calcium supplement, and I'm small, but... I don't know.
Anyway, that was pretty much the worst pain I've ever been in. And the worst part is, the ambulance guys took my shoes and forgot to give them back. Those were my favorite shoes!
