I got 2 hits of morphine and when that didn't do fuck all for my kidney stone, they gave me ketamine. Can't believe you couldn't get anything stronger, that sucks.
I guess I shouldn't have said every time. The last two or three times (still used to try to power through just to not go to the ER). They used to give me Vicodin or Dilaudid, but they've gotten super stingy with opioids. Which I understand but for freaking kidney stones???
I get opioids are a big problem for some people but back in the days of over-prescription I'd have spares for years that could help when my back went out or something. I was a very responsible user, frequently not taking them as soon as I could bear the pain without them. They need to get back to a middle ground or find less addicting medicine that works as well.
