kidney stones

[John712]

Question,

constantly getting kidney stones can that cause kidney failure.? I felt it bad last night AGAIN, this will be the 4th or 5th time I had it in a matter of a year and a half to two. Last time I had it real bad where as it was stuck you know where, so everytime I urinated it was a killer pain.

I past the stone at calabogie but I passed it in the porter johnny and I wasnt fishing it out of there to bring it to my doctor to get it analyzed to help put a stop to getting them.

Could it be your diet?

[tommymac]

can it, yes, will it, not likley.

If youre passing the stones they are relatively small. If yo uget a huge stone that becomes obstructed you could damage that kidney, not too common but i have seen it happen. The human body tends to be redundant and has a lot of backup A huan can function perfectly normally with only half of one kidney.

Ian diet can def be a casue/factor in him getting recurrent stones.

Did you make any changes on your diet? Are you taking any vitamins? I got them twice in one year and they went away after I stopped taking a multi-vitamin. It sucks that you're going through this man, I never knew what true pain felt like until I passed a stone.

diet and not enough water intake are probabaly the most common reasons for a stone. I had a stone that they had to do the stent and litho me to get it out. I've been doing everything i can to prevent another stone.

Good luck and get it checked out. Find out what you can do to reduce your chances of another one.

I've had stones before, and they do suck
not drinking enough water and frequently dehydrating yourself is a big cause of the stones so watch that
