Ugh, Kidney Stones SUCK!
 
#2
Not personally, but I have had some experience with them. Getting a block in your ureter can be quite an unpleasant experience, as far as I can tell. If you're really lucky, it passes before then, but even still usually sonication will be enough to dislodge and/or break it up enough to get it out with out too much problem. They usually build up over a long period, though, from minerals in your diet. Having a glass of water, sadly, rarely will do more than help you bite the bullet and loose it.

I sympathetically cross my legs for you. That's just no fun at all.
