My son was working outside and his wife was away for a while when she arrived here she came in to talk with me and she was all bent over on her right side and looked to be in pain. I asked her what was wrong and she said her right side was really hurting her, she couldn't walk upright as normal. When she indicated to me where her side was hurting I said do you have your appendix. She said she still had the appendix and as some time went on I said did you let Brian know you are in pain and she said no. I said you need to go to the hospital and have it checked out because it is your appendix it could burst. Anyway I called my son in and told him what was going on, he took her to emergency. It turned out to be kidney stones and they medicated her and gave her medication to take at home. I have heard that kidney stones can be quite painful until passed.

Kidney stones can be very painful. My uncle also had kidney stones, fortunately he didn't have to go through surgery. I hope she gets better soon.

oh yes, kidney stones are more painful. they give centrally acting medicine (for the brain) for pain. meaning the medicines they gave for pain will have to go to the brain so the brain could tell the pain to go away and sometimes the side effects of this is that the person can hallucinate.

My daughter gets that but always on her left side..now she faithfully drinks water and cranberry juice
I was thinking exactly the same as you appendix..pain on right and not able to walk upright..
Glad she didn't need surgery, but it is less painful then a ruptured appendix..

I hope she gets it passed soon as I have heard they are so painful Marcy.
Good thing she listened when you told her she should go to the hospital.

Having had both I would rather have my appendix removed again than have another kidney stone!! :O)

Either way it's scary. Glad it was kidney stones and the worst is over, right?

Glad it wasn't her appendix and just a kidney stone. I never had them but i also heard they are very painful. Hope she passes it soon and feels better.

I heard kidney stones are worse than giving birth (this is from women who have had children) I am thankful I don't have these, I have a low tolerance of pain.

That's too bad for her. If you know the horseradish that I posted please let her drink that as tea I now here in our country a lot o kidney stones have melted without any operation only by drinking that .Please let them try it. It won't cost them much

@Marcyaz Yes . Did you see my post miracle tree. that is true It is the most effective way to dissolve those stones. I have testimonies here in my place that are okay now that's true. We tend to forget that herbs are better than medication. It not only dissolve the stones and it energizes your body. and there are no side effects

My mom too suffered kidney stone and i promise it is really painful. So tell her to drink as much water as possible as it is the only remedy.

I've never experienced kidney stones, but we are quite certain that I have had some issue with gall stones,

I had some reall bad pain and had to go to the hospital it was my gall bladder so they took it out. I went home and couldn't lift anything heavy for quite a while. This was a while ago not recently.
