Hi,
Lithotripsy  is a procedure that attempts to break up the stone with minimal collateral damage by using an externally applied, focused, high-intensity acoustic(sound) pulse.
The passage of stone fragments may take a few days or a week and may cause mild pain.
Patients are instructed to drink as much water as is practical during this time.
A patient of the procedure has equated the after effects to "a punch to the kidney" (pain while urinating, with blood evident).
ref:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithotripsy
The pain maybe due to the fact that you are passing out the stone fragments.
You could take pain medications prescribed the doctor when the pain is severe.
