.. 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.
 
I hope they get you fixed up soon.

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.
 
Yes, the answer is drink alot of water to flush the 3 kidney stones from my right side.

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.

Water, cranberry juice etc. The last resort is surgery. Ive had kidney stones before so I can relate to the pain hes going through.
 
I am not stranger to surgery.

When I was 40, I had to have my gallbladder removed due to tumor like lesions growing all over it. It turned out to be cancer free.

Dang! Well here is to hoping that you won't need surgery
 
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.
 
Ouch, that sounds painful. Pain in the kidneys is never fun. Hope you’ve recovered by now!
 
Do you still have the kidney stones? Its been a while since you last posted.
