back pain

[glessie]

9 year ago I had a hysterectomy. Unfortunately during surgery the doctor knocked a hole in my bladder. My ureter swelled and kinked. Two days later I had stint put in my ureter. The stint stayed in for nine weeks. I continued to see the urologist for a year and did well. Now I am beginning to have a lot of pain in the kidney and area of the ureter. I have to urinate often, otherwise "'m in great pain. Has anyone experienced this? I'm in the process of scheduling a cat scan.

I'm taking 600mg Ibuprofen 3 times a day, as well as Vicodin in the evenings. I'm hanging on. Recent tests reveal the infection is gone.
Thank you

Hi,

Are you taking any pain medications just to alleviate the pain while waiting for the sceduled scan?

The CT scan will be able to guide your physician in terms of management.An infection and adhesions secondary to previous surgery and instrumentation need to be ruled out.

Take this one step at a time. I know this may be very discomforting. You may discuss with your physician pain management issues while tests are being done.
