Thanks for that advice, I'll have to try that next time. I too have had kidney stones that hurt to the point of vomiting and being unable to even speak. Same thing, given opioids that barely helped with the pain. And in my case, they ended up triggering a light panic attack sensation. Not to mention the $4,000 hospital bill for getting a scan and prescription, of which my insurance only covered $2,300 of it.



Yeah, the cost is crazy. This attack was extremely unfortunate in timing re: cost. I had signed up for better insurance in case I kept having stones, and this one happened the day before that insurance started. So I got a $5K bill, which would have been ~$0 24 hours later :(
