Man, I was having a great day at work, I got so much stuff done. Then on the way to the gym, bam, serious throbbing pain in my left kidney. It's weird, and it scary and painful and seems to get worse. It so isolated to that one side/spot and it not in the muscle.
So I look that up and kidney stones sound like that. Now I wonder if the milkshake for breakfast, milkshake before bed every night for six months was a bad idea. It was really helping me gain weight and milk makes my crohns better.
Someone suggested drinking lemon juice and water. I tried that. I hope this just ends easily as I am not in the mood for the hospital this evening or any evening.
I guess could be something else but what else causes kidney pain? It's givig me that impending doom feeling I got the night my appendix decided to die. Luckily, although this can be seriously painful I don't think it is at all life threatening. Who knows, maybe I will just wake up and t will be gone. I hope so because the retarded nurse wrote on my record that I am allergic to opiates after I got itchy during the appendix nightmare.
Oh great, I just found this too
[box] Kidney stones are more common in Crohn's patients with disease of the small intestine than in the general population because of fat malabsorption. Fat binds to calcium, leaving oxalate (a type of salt) free to be absorbed and deposited in the kidney, where it can form into stones. [/box]
That probably also explains my endless ability to b thin no matter how many milkshakes I drink.

I found this at 
a while back when researching Niagara Falls. It seems incredible we could shut off the American falls. I wonder how huge the other falls look to the right of there?

Fun experiments with CSSCategory: art
I made these when I was first mixing PHP with CSS positioning back in early 2000. Now I recognize there was no need for the PHP part as it could all easily been done with javascript.

Javascript loads 100x faster on Chrome when compared with Firefox.
Yes, I felt the need to respond with some "knowledgeable" statement here.

How long did this last? Do you still have any residual pain? Is the pain completely localized or is it rolling/moving around?
How do you know its the kidney? The stomach and spleen are in that part of the abdomen too.
I've had pains like that in my kidney after exercise, particularly after a really hard workout. Quick, but so painful I've dropped to the ground. I asked my dad who has frequent kidney stones and he says he never gets pain like that with his kidney stones and he gets them frequently. So I chalked it up to dehydration.
(e:dragonlady7) had severe kidney pain a couple months ago, to the point where she couldn't even sit upright. Took her to the hospital and it turned out to be a sprained muscle instead, three layers deep. Self-diagnosis is tricky in that area, you might oughta see a doctor.

I had those back when I still had my kidney. I think mostly they'll just pass on their own. You'll know because you'll experience that pin pointed pain, possibly to the point of almost passing out, then suddenly feel tremendous relief. But, best to get it checked out to be sure :)
