I&#039;m a somewhat atypical Brit in that I only drink coffee, I haven&#039;t really been a tea drinker since I left home. Might be worth me doing a bit of research though.

		<description>In my case, the problem had been the enormous amount of iced tea that I was drinking.  It seems that the tannin in tea combined with the calcium to form these particular stones.  I was advised to reduce my intake of tea at the time.  Britons are well know for their tea drinking also.  Just a thought.

I hope you are getting some relief.

Don&#039;t worry about being graphic, after repeated problems around some of my most &quot;intimate&quot; areas and a series of highly intrusive operations I&#039;m pretty well unshockable.

I&#039;ll mention this thought to my Urologist when I see him for the official scan results. There&#039;s a possibility that occurs to me that supports your theory. Because I suffer from osteoporosis I&#039;m on a regime of supplemental calcium and if that&#039;s not being ptocessed properly then there&#039;s a risk of the excess being deposited in the kidneys. At the moment my urinary system seems to be functioning pretty well in terms of stream and volume but I do suffer the &quot;ghost&quot; bowel movements that you mention.

Love
Mac</description>

		<description>I sympathsize with you over this pain.  When I first started having kidney stones, the pain was unbearable and created such nausea.  There was no position that I could get into from a fetal position to standing straight and tall, the pain was the same.  The meds dulled the pain, but did not take it away.  I had a blocked ureter, and then every once in a while the big ole stone started moving a little creating more pain.  The pain ran down into my testicles.  I felt like I needed a bowel movement, but I didn&#039;t.  I constantly felt like I had to pee, but only dribbled a little.  When that stone finally passed, I was immediately back to normal without any pain whatsoever -- what a relief!  Have they done an IVP on you to make sure your urinating apparatus from your kidneys to the tip of your dick is operational?  Sorry to get so graphic here, but your description of the pain is so reminiscent of my own history.

Feel better soon!

Love,
     David</description>

		<description>Steve
Thank you so much for this, I&#039;ll definitely give it a try after reading your instructions several times. I&#039;m trying very hard to avoid the pharmaceutical route here because of the brain numbing side effect.

I&#039;ll let you know how I get on.

Love

		<description>pain sucks
Give yourself a set time to let it get you down, then, once the time has passed, do something fun.  when I was younger I had migraines, there is a pain control technique I learned, how I wish we were in the same country so I can talk you through it.  But I&#039;ll try here, but preface it with this like anything in life takes a few tries before you can do it effectively.

First I truly believe that thought has energy.
second what we think about and visualize can become real.
(you&#039;ve seen on TV where a kid had cancer and he visualized a war with it where he won)
third, nothing happens instantly everything is done in steps

OK.
1.  Start by visualizing something very calming and/or beautiful: 
for me there is one particular mountain in Phoenix AZ, that I have hiked many times and at the right time of the year there is one part that the entire slope is covered with yellow flowers and I am on a path in the middle, the sky is bright, the smells of the desert fill my senses and the quiet can make me cry with happiness of just being.

2.  Take this vision and place it far away to your right, so far that it is blurry, but you know its there.

3.  Now look inside give you pain a color and shape and dimensions
for me my migraines were red, bulbous thing that had a larger &quot;body&quot; in my head with spike, and a long &quot;tail&quot; going into my body cavity with larger spikes sticking in all directions.

4. now sit or lay somewhere safe

5. mentally look to the far right where your calming beautiful place is, see your vision.

6. look at your pain make sure the vision of it matches the feeling
you will soon let your pain go, but it will need a form in order to leave you body, so the feeling will be replaced by a form.

now the following is where it takes practice, but well worth it.
7. slowly take the form of pain out of your body, but keep it very close so you can see its details.
for me the ripping out of my spiked bulbus red thing hurt on the way out (again it wants to live, I am changing it from a feeling to a vision, so it put up a bit of a fuss)

8. as you are pulling the pain out of your body so you can &quot;see&quot; it better but feel it less, look to your calming vision off to the right way in the distant, and bring it a little closer,

9. Once you have your pain out and see it clearly, slowly push it to the left and pull in from the right your vision,

10. continue to push the vision of pain further away and to the left, and pull in closer your calming vision

with practice you will be able to push the pain away and keep close the calming place

love and light
