Ureteral Stent Pain

2018-11-20 17:23:32
I had a ureteroscopy done on 15/11/18. During the surgery, a stent has been placed in my right ureter. I was told that I can expect pain in right flank due to the stent. I am relying on pain-killers to relieve myself of the discomforting pain. Will this pain continue till the time stent is there inside my body?
