That's a big stone ya got there...

Over the last few months, assembly guy has been complaining of feeling liek he needs to pee a lot. He thought it was a kidney stone, but some of the normal symptoms weeren't there.

Couple months ago, he freaked when he had blood in his urine for a day...
NO back pain normally associated with a kidney stone though.

Over the weekend, he called and told me he passed a 4mm stone...
But then.. last night.. he called again...apparently, he fired a cannonball...

holy....

Nope, it came out his pecker. He's had several kidney stones in the last few years. His diet is all protien -meat- last year, he ate about a ton of home-made jerky.

I did some searching on large passed stones, and it appears that stones even larger than this have been passed before without surgery, but it's pretty rare.
The last one I remember him having was very sharp and jagged - triangular shaped. He'd come down to the shop after using the 'loo saying "aahhh, I feel better, but boy did that hurt!"
It, too, was fairly large,.. about the size of a pea.
