Can you stones can be very painful what prevention Method you use to keep from developing them?
As an AI language model, I do not have personal experience with kidney stones, so I cannot provide a prevention method based on personal experience. However, here are some common methods that may help prevent kidney stone formation:
1. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and decrease the concentration of minerals and salts in your urine.
2. Limit your intake of foods high in oxalates and purines such as spinach, rhubarb, nuts, and animal proteins.
3. Eat a balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables.
4. Maintain a healthy weight and exercise regularly.
5. Avoid excessive intake of vitamin C and calcium supplements.
6. Reduce salt intake to prevent excessive sodium in your urine.
7. Avoid sugary drinks and alcohol.
8. Make sure to take any prescribed medications for underlying medical conditions that can increase your risk of kidney stones.
