Any idea how long this takes?  It was identified in my right ureter near the bladder.  Haven't heard much from it lately.

My Dad has had dozens of these; once they're out of the kidney, they always seem to pass within the week.

That sucks, oap. I hope you have good pain management. Wishing you a speedy passing.

Get some pain meds!

Sorry.  But as Zuzu hinted, this too shall pass.

Me love de Perco-cee'.  And the 800 mg Motrins ain't bad.  I always ask for Percocets because the straight Codines make me feel muddy and stupid, but the Percocets seem to give mental clarity, along with the pain relief.

I guess this drug in large doses has become a boogyman, though, because it's oxy-contin.  I'm safe though.  My doctor can't count past 5 mg.

Percocets. Ugh. I alternate between sleeping and itching all over my body, I no longer take the stuff.
Miserable!

Yes, for some reason they release histamine.  I get a little of this.  Very little soporific effect.
