Kidney stones???? Suck!

I've had 5 in my lifetime and they don't get any easier. My advice to anyone that ever gets one is to make sure you drink plenty of fluids all the time. I drink at least 160 ounces of water everyday now and haven't had one in over 5 years. Stay away from colas and too many green leafy vegetables (especially spinach).
I forgot to mention that drinking lots helps pass them a little quicker. So does engaging in prolonged gentle exercise.
