I had this happen to me last year (kidney stone). Holy shitballs on crutches. It was the most pain I have ever been in. And I have had all sorts of injuries and surgeries. This topped it all by far far far. I actually passed out from the pain. I was in the ER with pain managing medication for about 6 hours and then 1 minutes to the next gone. Not like oh it's receding... Gone like it was never there. And I felt 100% fine after. I felt embarrassed because I still had a bunch of doctors looking out for me and I was fine.
Oh and if you are a human with balls, the pain also radiates to this zone and it feels like someone is kicking you in the balls repeatedly with no rest between kicks. It suuuuucks.
And before you say 'feels like labor' naaaah I talked to several moms who have had many kids and they also agree. This is waaay worse.
Its legit no joke.. I went in to the ER with a 'no narcotics' mindset as I was just over 3 years sober.. The nurses knew it was kidney stones immediatley and literally laughed in my face, albeit nicely, when I said 'no narcotics'. They advised I take the narcotics.
I took the non narcotic option and fast forward 30 minutes... The pain was so bad I just threw up in my lap mid sentence and passed out right infront of my partner and two nurses.
They brought me the narcotics after that.
0/10, would not recommend kidney stones.
