Had them twice....including 9-11.....horrible pain, would rather be dead than deal with it again. Demerol (a truly wonderful drug) is the only answer. Came out of a 4 hour wait in emergency before I got attention (welcome to Canada's medical system), an overnight stay only to find out the pain going on in New York.....truly a horrible day.

Long term solution is to keep drinking water all the time. Apparently if you keep the fluids moving in your body the stones do not form as much and you can get rid of the problem.

I probably drink a few litres a day just to make sure that I never get them rotters again....
