Been there. Done that. Three times. The last time was when I was visiting my brother-in-law. I had him drive me to the hospital, told him to go through several red lights, and kept yelling "Faster. Faster. Faster." As soon as I entered the emergency room, I told the staff that I wanted morphine as soon as possible. The morphine is great stuff, instant pain relief.
Mine are Calcium Oxalate stones. My first urologist told me to stay off tea, but my new one told me to mainly limit grapefruit juice, cola, and Vitamin C. He actually wants me to drink more coffee, but I can't handle the caffeine. I do like his suggestion to drink more wine. He also gave me a prescription for a few Percocet tablets, that I always have available in case of an attack.
