Ureteral Stent
by rama_2008, Nov 22, 2008 04:11PM
Hi...
My wife had her kidney stone Lasered/fragmented this Thursday....She has a stent since then and is going through immense pain when she goes to the restroom...She is taking constant medication ( antibiotics/vicodine) and trying to drink around 2 liters of fluids. She is very very scared of the stent, its possible dislocation/complications and the extreme pain it is causing her...I think the doctor is planning to remove the stent next Tuesday
Could you please provide any suggestions on how to help lower her pain and how to live with the stent for the next few days ?
There is a thread/string attached to the end of the stent...Will there be lot of pain during the stent removal and afterwards ?
Thanks/Regards...I really really appreciate

yesterday 9/3/09 i had a cystoscopy with laser destruction and stent with string inserted. i will have the stent in a few more days. being that this is my third time with a stent i can tell you what you're feeling is normal. i'm also in excruciating pain especially when i urinate to the point of screaming. the removal does not hurt at all. don't worry about that.
