Guest guest Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Wow! kidney stone, very painful indeed. Not sure if not drinking enough water would cause it though, did the doctor confirm this? (not the kidney stone, the lack of water) I am curious and wonder if it pertains to gall stones also.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 The dr said that dehydratation was probably the triggering factor, but kidney stones has also to do with genes, medications, diet and other things. He also said that people that are more likely to have it (who had it before, me now) should drink enough water everyday and avoid too much meat. Today I am fine, I went at the climbing gym this morning and had no problems. Looks like I have passed the stone. Marcos.
