Get on the back of a roller coaster.
Roller coasters could dislodge small kidney stones, according to a new study from Michigan State University.
The study was spurred by years of patients claiming a visit to an amusement park had helped them pass the stones. Urologists at Michigan State put together the study that appears in this month’s Journal of the American Osteopathic Association.
“Imagine giving birth to a porcupine,” says David Wartinger, professor emeritus at the Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine, describing the experience of passing a kidney stone.
The stones form from a buildup of calcium and other minerals in the kidney and small stones — less than 4 millimeters — can pass thru the bladder and urethra easily, but larger stones can be extremely painful, sometimes requiring seeing a doctor.
The urologists highlighted a patient who claimed to have passed three stones after a ride on the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad coaster at Disneyland.
A medium-intensity ride like Big Thunder Mountain Railroad should do the trick, the urologists found. They also agreed with coaster aficionados that riding in the back gives the greatest affect, with an average passage rate of 63.89%.
Riding in the front provided only a 16.67 percentage passage rate.
I guess I would try that . . . without going into gruesome detail, I had a kidney stone with “spurs” on it that got stuck . . . and they had to go in and take it out and if you know anything about this you know the opening they went in to take it out. Ouch.

The article was unclear, does a person pass the stone while riding the coaster or after?
Wouldn’t it be easier and cheaper to throw the person down the stairs or hit them with a baseball bat?
Side effects in some patients may include severe headache and nausea.
Stop eating soybeans and soy based foods. Not only because they are 95% GMO and contain high levels of glyphosate residues (Round-Up), but also have high levels of oxalates, which bind to calcium in your kidney to form kidney stones.
I sustained a concussion on The Son Of Beast coaster at King Island in Cincinnati, many moons ago.
I always like riding in the back of coasters for the most reckless ride possible.
They closed that ride down years ago due to too many injuries.
It was padded like a lunatic cell, to no avail.

I can believe it might work. I’ve had kidney stone attacks while at work or out motorcycle riding. I’d drive down the road hitting every pothole I could find. If driving I’d also push my lower back as firmly into the seat back as possible. Sometimes it relieved the pain till it was bearable. Other times I got lucky, the stone dropped out of my kidney, and was expelled in the next few days.
