[|Human|] Hi Doc, I had a kidney stone removed from the right kidney that was 6 mm. I then had a stent in place for 6 days.  I had the stent removed 2 days ago and I am having pain in  my right kindey in my back.  It feels like a horrible cramp that comes and goes. Should I be concerened?  WHen will the pain go away?  I have been missing a lot of work.  THank you
[|AI|]  Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. Most patients do not have pain after the stent is removed, but occasionally you can develop pain or colic after it is removed. Usually the pain is self limited, and it will resolve within several hours. If you were my patient and if you were on tamsulosin prior to the stent removal I suggest you to continue it for 48 hours after the stent is removed, but as you are having pain even after 2 days I suggest you to have an X-RAY PUB and consult your doctor with the report. For pain relief you can take ibuprofen. Please get back if you have any more queries. Chat Doctor.
