It's a benign tumor which seems unsettling but there has been 0% chance of this ever turning into cancer. When it's on the outside, it's a birth-mark.

Glad you're healthy dude, that seems like a hell of a scare.

Thanks man. Definitely was. Coming off this medicine is part two, today was the first time I've stepped down to quarter of a pill and feel the most normal I've felt in a couple months.

I had a major ass kidney stone like 9 years ago...3 minor surgerys, trip to the hospital and 8 weeks carrying around a stint up my dick...I was on 2 different set of pain med and I was miserable. weening off them was very strange. the whole time I couldn't believe people enjoyed getting high like that.

Totally agree man. I also heard that those were the male version of giving birth? Any truth to that?

If was extremely painful when I was rushed to the emergency room...but I could never pass it because it was like the size of the "big marble". I was peeing blood and it constantly felt like someone had a lighter to my kidney that morning before the emergency room.

it got broken up with soundwaves during outpatient surgery. I passed the particles of it but by then it was pulverized to like small flakes of dead skin...that took like 2 months. It wasn't very painful that that point, just having the stint in was the bad part.

I have a guy in I.T. here pass one while pissing one morning and he said he was yell and screaming. He passed it and said it resembled a large piece of sand.
