I have passed three kidney stones in my life, I am only 33. They all were pretty horrible. I was lucky with no recurrances in the last 9 years. I have notcied a HUGE difference now that I am a vegetarian, no ingesting any meats, fish or fowl at all. Something to think about. If you are not a mom, I heard that the pain is like labor, so you have won half the battle of childbirth! Take care.
