    I’m 42 and I do nothing healthy. I’ve been playing Russian roulette with a kidney stone for too long and my luck has got to be running out.

    Yes, women DON’T like men saying a kidney stone is more painful than childbirth. I had one 33 years ago, and blessedly none since.

    At that size, I wouldve thought they would have used ultrasound to break up the kidney stone.

    Jimmy Kimmel is full of Jims. I had a gallbladder stone once. I screamed a lot too. Not like my wife though. I was present at all our three kids births. Love you J.K. and you J.J too. of course,

    i’m surprised the hospital in Canada didn’t use lithotripsy (either shockwave or laser) to break up the stone. i had shockwave lithotripsy done, felt like small electrocution (or snapped by a rubber band continuously) until the area felt kinda numb. and then back in the room i just drank a lot of water, jumped up and down for a while to help(?) push the pieces down, and peed. i didn’t feel the pieces going out.

    Small urethra and wee-wee…stones aren’t that painful to demand that kind of attention. And yes..I have passed many stones.

    Funny how he implies that Canada has few criminals and international drugs aren’t often smuggled into to The US through Canada… Drugs are the #1 thing that both governments look for at the US/Canada borders. You’d be surprised how many illegal things the US Coast Guard intercepts in the Great Lakes alone… (I assume the Canadian Coast Guard has the same problem, flowing the other way).
