Kidney Stone Stent

I had a failed litho on May 5 and my doctor could not break my 7mm stone and I am scheduled to have a stent in may 30 through a hole on my left side of kidney . I have read questions in stenting but I didn't see anyone had it done through a hole on the side . Is there an alternative to stenting as I read all the comments that it is terribly painful. Should I go on with it? Please help
