My DH is suffering with back pain right now due to a kidney stone. Now don't think I know about kidney pain because I had kidney disease when I was 21 and had to have a kidney removed when I was 22. Well, he's the only person on this earth who has ever suffered and he's like that no matter what the pain or illness. I have heard passing a kidney stone is terribly painful, and it's more painful for men than women. So when he passes this thing I hope I'm far, far away if that's true.
