Maybe try cooking brown rice with extra water so it is a porridge and easy to eat and easy to digest.

Maybe try consuming chlorella and/or spirulina, very healing and nutitious.

Surely take vitamin C.

Soak in hot water to relax.

Sorry, I was thinking about the pain from my own experience and forgot about the remedy. Nothing actually. You got to wait to pass the stones. I went to the hospital each time just for the morphine. Other than that, they told me that I just had to pass them...

Good Lord! Prostatitis! I developed prostatitis while in Korea. The docs don't know s##T about it and when the first round of antibiotics don't work they lose face and don't want to treat you anymore. I had to break mycontract and flee to Thailand to get adequate help. I feel for you man. Confused

Who are 'they'? Did you ask for the cost? I once had a pharmacist apologize because my nasal spray and month supply of anti-histamine came up to 7000 won. Medicine is really cheap here, but people in Korea seem to think that any prescription that costs more than 5000 won is expensive.

If you don't have time to see a doctor, go to a pharmacy and ask. They have some over the counter medicine that should help you better than Tylenol. I think you can get some anti-inflammatory drugs without a prescription.

I dare you to read this bit from wikipedia about Samuel Pepys:

Quote:
From a young age, Pepys suffered from stones in his urinary tract (a condition from which his mother also suffered) and was almost never without pain, as well as other symptoms, including blood in the urine. By the time of his marriage, the condition was very severe and probably had a serious effect on his ability to engage in sexual intercourse.

In 1657, Pepys took the brave decision to undertake surgery: this cannot have been an easy option, because the operation was known to be especially painful and hazardous. Nevertheless, Pepys consulted Thomas Hollier, the surgeon; and, on 26 March 1658, the operation took place in a bedroom at the house of Pepys's cousin, Jane Turner.

The procedure, described by Pepys as being "cut of the stone", was conducted without the use of anaesthetics or antiseptics, and involved restraining the patient with ropes and four strong men; the surgeon then made an incision along the perineum (between the scrotum and the anus), about three inches (8 cm) long and deep enough to cut into the bladder. The stone was removed through this opening with pincers, which came from below, and which were assisted, from above, by a tool that had been inserted into the bladder through the *beep*. A detailed description of the procedure can be found in Claire Tomalin's biography, referenced below.

Pepys' stone was successfully removed and was described as being the size of a tennis ball (presumably a real tennis ball which is slightly smaller than a modern lawn tennis ball, but still an unusually large stone). However, he made a good recovery and resolved to hold a celebration on every anniversary of the operation. On Monday 26 March 1660, he wrote, in his diary,

This day it is two years since it pleased God that I was cut of the stone at Mrs. Turner's in Salisbury Court. And did resolve while I live to keep it a festival, as I did the last year at my house, and for ever to have Mrs. Turner and her company with me.
However, there were long-term effects from the operation. It has been speculated that the operation may have left him sterile; but there is no direct evidence for this, as he was childless before the operation. There are references in the Diary to pains in his bladder, whenever he caught cold; and the wound from the operation seems to have caused him problems in later life. In April 1700, Pepys wrote, to his nephew Jackson,

It has been my calamity for much the greatest part of this time to have been kept bedrid, under an evil so rarely known as to have had it matter of universal surprise and with little less general opinion of its dangerousness; namely, that the cicatrice of a wound occasioned upon my cutting of the stone, without hearing anything of it in all this time, should[,] after more than 40 years' perfect cure, break out again.
After Pepys' death, the post-mortem examination showed that his left kidney was completely ulcerated; seven stones, weighing four and a half ounces (130 g), also were found. His bladder was gangrenous, and the old wound was broken open again.
