People have been telling me what a debilitating pain it's supposed to be, "worse than childbirth" etc. I dunno, I can still get around the house and work.

If this is worse than childbirth maybe I should abandon my CF stance and just pop out spawn for eager breeders.

LOL they're not that bad. It's more the kind of pain you get when you have to go to the bathroom for an extended period of time and you're denying yourself.

This is like a weird backache. I've had UTIs in the past (not for over a decade, thank god) and THAT is fucking awful. Jesus christ, I tried to describe it to someone as "imagine your bladder is bursting full of lava and tabasco. your dilemma is either you keep the lava and tabasco inside, or you have lava and tabasco COMING OUT OF YOUR WEE WEE."

Whaaaat what opiates? They didn't give me no opiates. Vicodin and Cipro. What else do they throw at people for this?

vicodin's an opiate!

depends on the level of pain. sometimes demerol or diuladin (sp?). vicodin is an opiate tho, just a super mild synthetic one (hydrocodone). even that will make me SUPER grumpy tho.

Vicodin is gonna make me crash and get weepy in a few days. The only stuff I've ever been given that made me rage out was Ativan when I was in a hospital a couple years ago and man, did I ever give people a hard time.

Also, I will gladly take any excess opiates off anyone's hands

I got Cipro and Tramadol, but the Tramadol is the devil! It interacted with my SSRI very badly!!!

Ooh ouch :( I worry about stuff like that. I'm anticipating the Vicodin downer on about tuesday or so--there will likely be some terribly whiny LJ entries from me that day.

Supposedly if I dont drink enough water while Im taking this medication Im on I can get kidney stones. And Im fricking awful at drinking water. Because it tastes like nothing and isn't fizzy. But so far no kidney stones. I'm a huge pussy when it comes to pain, too. But I LOVE painkillers, so that will be cool.

I don't like taking Vicodin too much but eh, I'll deal with it.

I've got a really high pain threshold--I was told this many times as a kid by various doctors. One of them looked at an ear infection I had once and asked why the hell I wasn't climbing the walls based on what he saw.

J. was teasing me and saying he was gonna get me a cane with a flamejob on it.

I would LOVE a cane with a flamejob. I would totally fake a limp and then whack people with it in a most curmudgeonly manner.

I feel your pain. And I agree, Vicodin is good for this purpose.

The pain can vary based on the size of the stones. (I've had the large and small varieties. Much suckage ensued.) The big ones hurt worse in part because they don't want to move and the ureter really is not meant to transport solids.

Hope this will pass in the near future.
