Hey Big Tex, has it passed yet? I am sure the vicadin is helping alot. I have had kidney stones twice in my life. Once as a teenager and once about 5 years ago when I was 27. I was told that it is like a guy giving birth, but I say that is BS. It is worse. women are equiped to give birth, men are not equiped to piss cyrstalized rock formations with razor edges through their body. I have broken many bones and been hurt doing stupid things many times in my life and that was the worse pain I have ever felt. I hope it passes soon for you. Take care.
