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
Having had kidney stones (and ESWL) means you're more likely to have more in future, so keep up the water intake and consider carrying around some tadalafil (more effective than the more commonly used tamsulosin)
oh yeah i'm gonna be making a lot of changes after this
i don't ever wanna experience that again (thanks for the tips btw)
