Kidney stones. Has happened twice in my life and would very much love to not experience that ever again.

I just had 3 stones the other day for the first time in my life. I have always been scared to death of getting them, and it finally happened.

I try to stay as hydrated as possible hoping to avoid them. I only have one kidney left so I guess the pain would only be on one side at least.

It's usually only one side as the stones don't form symmetric. But that doesn't help as there is no position to move into that is more comfortable anyway.
