probably because i've been eating a lot of really awesome street food (that's admittedly sodium-rich but my choices are on me)
worst pain ever though like not even getting shot would feel this awful but hey at least i now know i'd make for a good punk screamer
anyway ended up going to the hospital and and despite being a foreigner on an L visa it was easy and affordable, and since my chinese is terrible (they naturally assumed such in advance) they had an english-speaking doctor video-call me to explain what the other doctors were doing before using one of those machines to punch my kidney stones into kidney dust
healthcare here is pretty cool, so common china W 😎 too bad i'm pissing blood
Ooof, I had one kidney stone and it was the worst pain I had ever felt (gallstone was a close second)
Glad to hear your treatment is going well
thanks, and yeah it sucked major ass to be in that level of pain and not really know what it was; like it was so bad that it being kidney stones didn't even occur to me because i just assumed they couldn't be that painful.
now that i've had them broken up, laying on a heated pillow seems to ease the pain quite a bit.
