    Poor fella.  It is supposed to be really painful - esp for men - OUCH.  The only thing I can think of is drink lots of cranberry juice.  Hope he feels better soon.

    Yowzer.  Sorry KB to hear about your DH.  The only time my Dh had a stone, we had to go to the ER for it and we were lucky in that it either passed quickly and/or dissolved quickly as well (I can't remember which happend, but by later that day he was OK).  Good luck!

    Kidney stones usually pass on their own if they're 5mm or smaller. Drink plenty of fluids. Take pain medications. If it doesn't pass in a day or two make sure to follow up with a urologist. I hope he's feeling better soon! Women say kidney stones are worse than child birth!

    Lots of water and wine work for me.  He needs to stay hydrated, and the wine makes me pee while numbing everything just a tad.

    I had one a few yrs ago that was too small for them to do anything; the urologist told me to drink a lot of water w/lemon juice (said the acid would help wear down the stone). It must have worked b/c I don't remember passing it & when they did follow-up ultrasound it was gone.

    I had one in college.  They are painful and mine came about just like his-pain in my lower back turning to unbearable.  I haven't had one since...I do drink a lot... water and liquids that is...  I know cranberry juice is supposed to be good for the kidneys but as far as preventing the stones, I don't know what you can do.  Check out ehow... it had some interesting advice listed.
