Someone mentioned a colonoscopy a page or two back. That also ties in with the farts discussion... I took my dad for one a few years back. They had the old people in there like cattle, in these curtained off sections. I had to go back there and get him, so we could leave.

Dude, it was like an absolute fart factory back there. You could hear the farts ripping from all parts of the colon curtain city they had built. My dad was a little confused looking, farting, and talking about how we should go across the street for Krystal burgers.

I was proud of him for trying to see about his health.. But I decided that day, I'll just die from a bad colon... before I subject myself to that kind of probing.

In the semi-rural NorthEastern USA
I have had kidney stones at least dozen times since the mid 80's. The severe pain comes when the stone gets stuck in your ureter. It feels like someone has your balls in a vice and they keep cranking it down.

The pain is unreal and Demerol is the only med that really takes the pain away. Crap like Morphine and Dilaudid barely move the pain down the scale. My stones were mostly uric acid, and a few were made of calcium.
There is a procedure they use when they can't blast them with the sound wave machine. The procedure is they put a camera up your dick, then they find the stone and they get it out. After that procedure they have to leave a stent in your ureter for at least a week and sometimes two. They do this so your ureter doesn't close and that can be real trouble. When you piss it feels like you are pissing glass, it is always bloody and you dread the pain every time you have to go.

The other way you get rid of them is the machine that blasts it before it can get into your ureter. They put you out and when you wake up it feels like Mike Tyson was using your side like a punching bag. The first few days you get the pissing glass deal as the broken up stones get pissed out of your body.
After any stent they put in you, they obviously have to take it out. The stent has some wires sticking out so at the end they just yank the things no pain med,no nothing and you want to smack the doctor but once you get over the shock of that, everything feels great so you don't complain. The first time I got them I thought I was going to die. I never had pain like that and I got rushed to the hospital, they knew it was kidney stones so they shot me up and I felt better. I remember lying in a hospital bed in the emergency room all doped up smoking Marlboro Reds the the whole time.

I have been smoking cigarettes,cigars and pipes now since I was 13, I am now 63. I have not had a stone for a good 4 years and I have no idea why. I just pray none of you guys get a stone stuck in your ureter, that is pain you cannot even believe you are experiencing.

Broken bones, torn up ankles, dislocating elbows, knees, taking hellacious spills snow skiing. The only thing that comes close to that pain is viral meningitis. That feels like someone is sticking an ice pick into the back of your head, it is intense. I had that twice. The cause they guessed at because they really don't know how you get it, they said it was from counting dirty money. My first business was all cash and that was their guess.
literally yesterday a guy I work with told me about his stones. Pretty much said the same thing you did.
Sidenote I have heard woman say giving birth is worse and then get corrected by a woman who has had both issues.

Please don't. Colon cancer is a horrible way to go.

Funny story. We had a Lab puppy that raided the wifes purse and ate a bunch of GasX. The wife flipped out thinking it would kill her. We rushed her to the Vet and the wife said (in tears) "is she going to be ok?" The vet looked at her and "She will be fine...but I would not stand behind her"!!!... rotf rotf rotf rotf rotf
