I used to be a medic in the USAF and took care of a couple guys who passed stones into a urine filter. We used to look at the stones under a microscope and they are actually crystals. They have very sharp points which is why they are so painful.

Listen to his advice. If you have never had a kidney stone, do not get one.
Get well soon!

A professional bike fitting would cure your kidney stones.

Sorry to hear you have to deal with kidney stones.
I've never had any kind of 'stones' in my body (kidney, bladder, gallstones, etc.), although others in my family have. I'm only 35, though - so who knows what the future holds. I have been drinking plenty (maybe a couple gallons a month) of no-sugar-added cranberry juice for the past several years...maybe that has kept me from experiencing this painful problem.

I cut out a lot of calcium because I got the hereditary gout,
and the medicines can cause stones, according to my Doc.
Get very well very soon , Chef .
You need to be back on the bike
so the universe is back in balance.

Went to docs today and scheduled two more surgeries. I asked if he could do them while I am riding my bike. He chuckled (also a cyclist). But he said no. Darn it!
Decided to fill the prescription for oxycodone and just took the first pill. I hate taking pills and I hate side effects.
Went to work this morning, worked out in the gym (doc said it was ok) and then went to work in the kitchen. A bad headache started and hot flashes. It was time to pack up the knives and take a sick day.

Might sound stupid but the balance thing is so true. I forgot how much I miss the feeling before and after a ride, especially commuting to work. It is like a drug that gets into your veins and you need and want it everyday.

and no, it doesn't sound stupid .
Need to keep the balance in your life.
If you don't, you fall over.
