A member asked:
Is meth use and/or abuse of prescription pain killers associated with chronic kidney stones?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not stones: Meth use does more than cause kidney stones -- it can kill your kidneys and the rest of your organs too. Depending on which prescription pain killers you're talking about, this is extremely dangerous also. If you got very dehydrated during your substance abuse, kidney stones would be possible.
