Have you ever had lithotripsy done?

Chris makes a simple tweet, and before we're through, we've diagnosed cancer and early death.

Yes I have, and to be honest, I'd rather just work the stone out the normal way next time. The procedure itself was painless as described, but I pissed sand and blood for 3 weeks after and was in a lot of pain during it, thus needed way too much oxycodone for way too long after.
 
Forgive the powerlevelling please, but as a chronic kidney stone sufferer I call complete and total bullshit.

Unless you have had multiple stones and scarred up your tubes some, or are constantly full of opiates as I am (methadone, 80mg/day) there is no such fucking thing as a 'mildly painful' stone attack. You are passing a mineral cluster the size of an appleseed (on average) down a tube the diameter of an uncooked strand of spaghetti. Passing the stone from the kidney to the bladder is where the pain comes from, the backpressure as urine builds up slowly driving the stone down, crystalline edges scoring your interior passages until the fucker pops into your bladder.

Pissing it out is the easiest part. And almost painless unless it's insanely large.

Don't fucking lie, 'tardboy.
I believe the stones can also be formed in the bladder, not just the kidneys.

There are certain kinds of crystallizations that can form in the bladder, mostly due to chronic urine retention, and they can shred up a urethra, but they are very different from a kidney stone. With bladder stones you don't feel the individual stones, but you will piss fairly fresh looking blood. With kidney stones, even a tiny one, you can feel it making an exit. Passing mine felt like someone stuck a knife into my pelvis just below the hip bone and slowly drew it downward towards my dick. And mine was so small I never saw it.

We need more information. Someone needs to conduct an kidney stone interview with Chris.

This is true, and such stones are more of a mild annoying 'twinge' pain when they get caught near the entrance to the uretheral tube, but aren't able to be forced through the :pickle: at that time.

It's entirely possible that Chrissy just used the wrong term without knowing so I take back calling him a liar. On this matter anyway.
 
I don't know how kidney stones work but isn't Chris a little young to be having to deal with them? Regardless, it's funny to see Chris act like this is some sort of hilarious moment when in reality it's a scary sign about his declining health. I've never seen someone talk about getting kidney stones like it's such a fun and joyous experience.


I had a kidney stone when I was 22. The pain was horrendous, I was in so much pain I was physically sick. Because the pain is deep inside you can't even have the psychological relief of rubbing it better like when you hit your thumb with a hammer. I just had to ride it out, luckily it was small enough to come out when I went to the toilet. Haven't had one since but I have heard it is the closest pain a man can feel to childbirth.
 
Autists can have weird uneven responses to pain like they flip out at a papercut or a seam in their clothes but don't shed a tear or show pain at all if they knock a tooth out or fall and bruise their private parts they're swollen and purple. It's fucking weird so maybe Chris runs hyposensitive or something.

Or he's bullshitting but whatever. :c
