I have felt it. Spent last night in the Emergency Room. Very good description like a sword up the core of your torso…. twisting. Diagnosis: Kidney stones & Urinary Tract infection. I was gratified that the Doc said he would give me morphine for the pain. Later I found it only took the pain from a ’10’ to a ‘9-1/2’… barely took the edge off. First time I’ve had morphine. After most of the night in the ER, they gave me one more dose… took the pain down to a ‘6’. Then after visiting an all-night pharmacy I went home with a bag of five meds:
Antibiotic (Cipro)
Anti-nausea
Bladder muscle relaxer
Ibuprofen (anti-inflammatory)
Percocet (pain relief)
I barely caught a nap when the morphine wore off. Percocet was less effective. Since then I have had two gallons of water to drink, and cannot handle any food as yet. Cranberry juice to the rescue.
Somebody shoot me…. please?
