re help for kidney stones in article apr wvnvms wvnet edu pk wvnvms wvnet edu writes my girlfriend is in pain from kidney stones she says that because she has no medical insurance she cannot get them removed my question is there any way she can treat them herself or at least mitigate their effects any help is deeply appreciated advice referral to literature etc thank you dave carvell pk wvnvms wvnet edu first let me offer you my condolences i ve had kidney stones times and i know the pain she is going through first it is best that she see a doctor however every time i had kidney stones i saw my doctor and the only thing they did was to prescribe some pain killers and medication for a urinary tract infection the pain killers did nothing for me kidney stones are extremely painful my stones were judged passable so we just waited it out however the last one took days to pass not fun anyway if she absolutely won t see a doctor i suggest drinking lots of fluids and perhaps an over the counter sleeping pill but i do highly suggest seeing a doctor kidney stones are not something to fool around with she should be x rayed to make sure there is not a serious problem steve
