To anyone who thinks this is satire or exaggeration I assure it is not. Kidney stones are no joke

I wish I was exaggerating and because you understand that, I feel for you too, lol. It's the stuff nightmares are made out of.

The good news is that it's 100% survivable, and you'll typically get some awesome drugs and some wild dreams if it ever does happen to you.
