I hope you get to feeling better soon. I never had a kidney stone and I hope I never get it or experience it anytime soon.

My husband has had several and now drinks cranberry juice.  Doctors told him to give up coffee but I guess the stones didn't hurt enough for that.  It's been several years since he had any so maybe the juice is working  :)

I am so sorry to hear that. I hope you are feeling much better as I heard Kidney stones can be very painful.

Someone I know has a lot of bladder problems and infections so they take Azo with cranberry. I'm sorry that I can't recommend things quite like the others, but maybe Azo with cranberry will help too.


Get well soon.  :)

I have not had any stones, but my son had some in his early 20s and the pain was almost unbearable! So good luck to you with the cranberry juice (really helps) and get better soon!!!!

I feel for you!!  I have passed atleast close to 20 stones, all calcium oxolate.  They all hurt no matter what size they are!!  Good luck...Unfortunately the statistic shows that if you have one your chance is great to have a 2nd.
