Re: NFL Rumors: Brees to be traded for #1 pick

Just a tip on Kidney Stones, drink a glass of Cranberry Juice each day.
The acid from the Cranberry will naturally dissolve the stones and won't let them build up. If you have a major stone and suffering that exruciating pain, drink as much of the Cranberry Juice as you can.
Also there is an over the counter pain reliever called Percogesic which most of the major pharmacy chains carry. A Kidney Stone is your worst
nightmare, trust me.

Should've said the Browns hire Ditka as head coach then trade all of their forty-two or whatever draft choices for Graham and Brees...

Biggest I've had was 8mm and thought I was going to die, fetal posistion and all.

Interesting. Dilaudid is an analgesic and for pain, and Valium treats anxiety and spasams.

The first time I had stones I was in Nigeria on a deep water rig and the only thing on board was advil. That is where I learned pain can cause vomiting... Anyway long story short, I learned that a hot shower aimed at the suspect kidney does wonders, albeit for a short time after you get out. If no shower, a hot bathtub works just as well.

Anyway, I was med vac'd to a Hospital in Lagos and the chief surgeon (thank my lucky stars) was an Italian Cardiologist. That is where I learned that pain killers treat the symptoms (American method), but antispasmodics treat the problem. The pain is caused by the kidney spasming. I flew home (9 hour flight and 4 hour layover) on nothing but antispasmodics, my doctor in the US tried to treat the western way and I was in pain until they passed.

Be very careful trying to dissolve stones, what is too big to cause problems can become small enough to cause problems.

As halo pointed out, know what you are dealing with, the wrong treatment can actually cause more stones, its a chemical reaction. In the case of calcium stones dairy products can actually prevent their formation because they bind the oxalates in your intestines and prevent the stones from forming.
