Oh sorry I missed the "if you've had both." However, doing some research, I found that "many people with gallstones don't experience any symptoms at all" and when you feel them it may only last a few minutes. Let me tell you, when you have kidney stones, you fuckin feel em. My last kidney stone was tiny, and it had me sobbing in the emergency room begging and pleading for more morphine

I had severe gallbladder stones that made me feel everything in my abdomen for weeks, don’t recommend it 😔 (I’ve never had kidney stones but they sound miserable)

Youch!! I’ve only had the misfortune of a gallstone so far (hopefully I never have a kidney stone…) but holy moly do I wish I were asymptomatic because the pain had me hurting myself in other ways until they finally had it removed, five days after admitting me. I woke up from being under while they removed one blockage and even with the IV pain killers and relaxants it was too much. I can only imagine what a kidney stone would do to me 😭

Oh god that sounds awful I'm so sorry 🫂 but yeah I hope you never have a kidney stone, I've had seven in the past two years 🥲 this most recent one should be my last one though, scans have shown I haven't developed any new ones 🙏 and I hope to god you never have another gallstone op

I refused to leave the hospital until they took it out since their singular blockage removal did NOT relieve any pain. ;-; I hope you never have any of it, ever again!!
