Anyone here ever have kidney stones? I was just sitting around yesterday and all of a sudden, i felt this awful feeling in my side and i thought i was gonna throw up, but I didnt. 15 minutes later, i was in so much pain that i couldn't stand up, i was screaming and crying, and it literally felt like i was being stabbed to death. Went to the emergency room and I have 6 kidney stones and im passing just 1 of them right now. I will get this again when i pass the other five. By far this is the worst pain I have ever felt. Apparently its from eating too much salt and not drinking enough liquids. I know there is worse pain out there, and man I feel bad for those in worse pain. Anyways, whats the worst pain yall have felt?

here's the short answer:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anal_fistula look towards the bottom where it says 'Conversion to a cutting seton'

they basically do it so your a-hole muscle stays in tact and gets rid of the fistula at the same time. if they have to cut the muscle all the way through in one shot, you stand a risk of losing bowel control. was actually kinda funny, the doc said this method was introduced by socrates.
