In reply to the discussion: At home, battling a kidney stone..some thoughts [View all]Roy Rolling
(6,908 posts)25. It took 3 Times for me
The third attack, I immediately drank as much water as I could hold down and bounced up and down to dislodge it.
It sounds crazy and I don't recommend it, but it is 100% true. I have not had another kidney stone attack since I have remembered to drink water.
How stupid has the human race become that we don't even drink enough water? It took me two ER visits to catch on.

I had one nearly 5 years ago. Will NEVER go to the ER again if I get another.

People hate having to pee a lot. I have developed a habit of drinking a lot more water.

My first one was on a Navy ship off Camp LeJune. Rode to shore in an AAV, a swimming bulldozer.
