Is it still there?  My Dad had several of them over the years - but for some odd reason since he is much older now, has not had any in decades.  Lots of other problems, but not that one.

Me too!  I had no idea what the problem was at the time.  I was still married to my 1st wife at the time and around 29 or 30 years old.  It woke me up in the middle of the night.  I thought I had an appendix rupture or something.  By the time I got to the ER, the pain was totally gone.  It wasn't until they did the tests and they explained to me the situtation that I knew what happened.

I will never forgot how they told me.  

"We have good news and bad news, which would you like first?"  I said the good news.  The doctor said "You are not going to die". I said ok, that is good. What is the bad news?  The bad news is you have a kidney stone, and it is still there.  

It took over a month to get it to pass and at times I was ready to rip it out with my hands if I could.  It went from no pain at all to extreme pain in a matter of seconds.  Not fun!

This is why I drink water constantly.  That is the best way to prevent them.
