Woke up yesterday morning and my left flank was aching like a bitch, so managed to go back to sleep for a few hours and when I woke up the pain was gone. I shrugged it off.
I woke up this morning and.... I know how John Hurt must have felt ( dont make me explain that one ), only down in my left flank again. I was in so much pain I had tears running down my face, couldnt make the pain stop no matter how I stood, laid, folded myself up etc. Jumped on the internet and has a look at the NHS website for symptoms- thought it was appendicitis but it was the wrong side of my body ( d'oh ). Bit more of a search and it pretty much looked like kidney stones was the likely cause of the pain- it was slowly working its way towards my bladder from the kidney ( the pain is far from localised though, it spreads out alot ). Made an appointment with to see my GP 30 minutes later, took a urine sample = high concentration of blood present > very likely kidneystones. Prescribed me some painkillers and told me to make an appointment with the radiology department to get a scan/ x-ray in a few days time hopefully.
The pain has stopped for now pretty much, but this has got to be the most horrible, painful experience I've ever had-I know a few people who've had them recently too so I know it could get aloot worse & may need an operation if the stone Im passing is just a small piece of a much larger stone; I gunna try and score me some super strong painkillers from those people if they have any left over, though if any of you guys have got any morphine shots/ viles hangin; around I'll take those too please...
