Man I feel for you.
I swear I bent over when I read this.
There is no such thing as a wimp when it comes to this crap. It hurts.
Drink tons of water and go as often as you can to urinate.
When and if you start feeling some burning in your groin area, you will be close to heaven's door and almost done.
That will be when you want to make sure you flush yourself more.
The tough pain is as it travels from the kidney to the bladder. That is some serious sensitive area.
WATER!!! Lots of it.
If you get into serious pain, screw what you doctor says about waiting 24 to 48 hours. Go back to the ER for some instant gratification via morphine shots. No need to be in continuous pain.
Did he send you anything for the pain?
Fill up the tub with hot water and sit in it for a while. Really helps.
