Hello everyone, earlier today I just had my twelfth kidney stone, and the doctors are stumped, and so am I. By the time I was fifteen I had seven kidney stones and now I'm at 12, and just found out I have eight more split between my two kidneys.

As you can probably imagine it has been a terrible weight on my life considering how painful kidney stones are. And before you say, "Change your diet, and drink more milk" or whatever, trust me I'm on a diet and I have been for years, I am also not overweight or even remotely close, so that isn't the problem.

If anyone can provide any insight, that would be amazing as even the doctors are stumped at this point as to why they keep forming. It's pretty terrible having these ****ing things so much.

Edit: When I was a baby I had some water in my lungs, and the stones are all indeed calcium stones.  

Damn dude I hope you find your solution and get well!  

Drink more water and use the bathroom regularly.

That's all I got to say.  

Listen my old friend all the pot probably isn't helping, a bowl or cone a day isn't good for you.

Thanks dude!  

Just saying.
Get better soon friend <3  

Will do, the weed actually sort of helps if I'm high when I have an attack.

If you're on a diet of lots of milk, that may be a part of the problem due to all the calcium, considering the stones are calcium as well. Not sure if you are, though. What is your current diet?  

If the ones who spent many years of their life to diagnose things like this are stumped, I doubt anyone on here knows anything. Perhaps try to consult a specialist for this sort of deal if you haven't already.

The doctor told me I need MORE calcium which shocked me because that seems very counter-intuitive haha.

And I eat healthy, I usually make my own meals, I try and incorporate the correct amount of each food group in every meal, so I don't know what I'm really doing wrong at this point.

I've been to a countless number of specialists. I've met some very intelligent people on these forums though, and any information is helpful  

Could be the meat you eat. My father gets them from time to time.

I've had only two in my life, so I cannot even imagine what you must be going through! I was told to cut back on milk and it's been a good 7 years since my last one.

Weird, the doctor has been telling me for a while to drink MORE milk, I'll ease up on it a bit and see how it goes, thanks for the help!

Filthy cheat "doctor" probably wants you to come back so he told you to drink more.
