| | Kidney stone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | It is important to recognize that one of the recognized medical therapies for prevention of stones is thiazides, a class of drugs usually thought of as diuretic. | | | Stones less than 5 mm in size usually will pass spontaneously, with diclofenac usually providing effective pain management. | | | Diagnosis is usually made on the basis of the location and severity of the pain, which is typically colic in nature (comes and goes in spasmodic waves). |

| | Shatner's Kidney Stone MetaFilter |
| | A pain in his lower back turned out to be a kidney stone en route to the world outside Shatner's body, a process that's said to be as painful as childbirth. | | | But, I think it breaks down like this: my stones were pulverized within my body, and the doctors told me that anything taken out of a patient has to be accounted for and analyzed chemically for medical reasons. | | | Seriously, I think the stone would be a "byproduct" and not a "part." Shatner hasn't seen a "part" for many a year. |
