.. well, 10am this morning, my Mother took me to Urgent Care, which is like an Emergency Room, more or less. Long story short, it is where I spent my Birthday. I had to have a catscan and come to find out I have 3 kidney stones in my right kidney which is causing the pain I been in the last few days.

Get well soon! Kidney stones are no fun.
Dang I am so sorry to hear that! At least you have answers though. Sorry to hear you spend your birthday in the hospital though.
Is that really all you can do? I've never personally had any kidney stones but I've dated someone with kidney stones and I remember how debilitating the pain can be. It sucks only drinking water helps.
Take care and get well soon!
Water, cranberry juice etc. The last resort is surgery. Ive had kidney stones before so I can relate to the pain hes going through.
Dang! Well here is to hoping that you won't need surgery
I feel your pain @FallandPray, I've had kidney stones and had some large enough they had to be surgically removed. It's not a fun thing, at all, to deal with. I wish you all the best!
I don't know for humans, but for dogs they have some medication that can help in certain cases. When I had a kidney stone, they "used a hammer on it" to make it fall apart in smaller pieces, and it came out naturally without surgery that way, but they do it only a few days after you find out you have the stone and if it's blocking urine flow. I hope yours come out naturally.
It has been a week tomorrow since I had a catscan and I am still in pain.
Aw, I’m sorry to hear that.
