    I think your post was three weeks ago but I’ve only just had my stent in operation on Tuesday and it’s been hell. Constant urge to we and irritation in my urethra feeling shaky when I pay but looking at these boards it feels it’s exactly the same for everybody so I tried to take a little bit of comfort from that let us know how you go

      I went into the hospital last sunday, a week ago, with sever kidney stone pain. Turns out I had 6mm stone that was stuck. I was sent for surgery on the following Monday to remove the stone. I as well had a stent that was placed in which did cause a lot of discomfort. I also believe it was moving more than it should. However, I was told to remove the stent on Thursday which is 3 days after the surgery. I removed the stent snd for the first two hours I was fine. Then the pain came on strong. Enough that i went back to the ER.

      The ER doctor believed i had a kidnry infection with a lot of severe bruising snd other issues showing up on my CT. The urologist didnt believe a kidney infection and just said inflammation. I got myself discharged from the hospital and have been at home ever since dealing with the pain in my lower back, flank, lower right abdomen, and groin. I have noticed that the pain tends to flare up most when a blood clot is working its way out of my kidney.

    i just had the surgery this past Monday. I as well didnt notice the "broken" up stones come out. I have since take the stent and been in severe pain with passing large blood clots in my urine.

    I did have to go back the ER regarding removing the stent and the pain. They did another CT scan and it didnt show any stones on my right side which is where the surgery occurred.
