Did you have one? Owieowieowie!!!! I had one a couple of years ago about 1.5 times the size of a grain of salt. We went to emergency and the trauma nurse asked my wife if we had children, when my wife said yes, the nurse said now he knows!!! I did get an open perscription for 80 percacet.
Back surgery seven years ago. Six titanium bolts, two rods, one plate, they removed three disks. I had a really hard time walking for two months. After the surgery is when I found out I was allergic to Morphine, swelled up like a balloon, it felt like I had glass in my veins. They sent me home with synthetic heroin “lost at home for three months”.
I messed my back up from changing calcium filled tractor tires, moving more then what my body was meant to do. The first time I was able to go for a walk I went down the street to the motorbike dealership and looked at the bikes and told my self that I will ride again.
Had kidney stones before as well, the second time it was half the size of a pea. You could hear it hit the back side of the toilet bowl “PING”.

Dislocated shoulder. <ouch>
A little over two years ago (or was it three?), I was in the bathroom early in the morning. All of a sudden, I was incapacitated with lower back pain on the right side. I fell to my knees (no lie), and held out as long as I could (20 seconds? 30?) before bellowing like a prodded cow.
It went away about as quickly as it came, and it never returned. I always assumed that I had passed some sort of stone, or that I have one in there that's in limbo. The only other thing I could ever come up with was a slipped disk that needed to get comfy again (not very likely).
WhateverTF it is, I hope it never comes back.
We were working a medical call one night, and it wound up being a mid-50's, retired Marine with stones. He was sobbing. He told Kim (our EMT on duty that night) that he had to urinate badly. She took his vitals and let him try to pee on the side of the road.
He couldn't use the restroom, because he was 'blocked.' :-(
I never had to pee so bad in my whole friggin' life as I did when he said those awful words: "I can't. It's like it's blocked off or something."
He eventually decided that the ambulance wasn't getting there fast enough, so he took out walking. He wound up lying in a ditch until the unit got on scene.

oh...little bit of information. drinking a lot of gatorade or other sports drinks as a normal drink is a major cause of stones. the potassium builds up and forms them. when i found that out, i stopped drinking gatorade for like 6 months, even though i played a ton of basketball back then. it was water water water!
