Still pain 10 days after stent removal

[ADOBECASA]

I'm beginning to get worried. I had a 4mm stone lodged in my left ureter that they had to go in and remove, on 2/25. They then placed a stent (which was quite an experience living with that) and it was removed 10 days ago. The first night I was in AGONY after the removal... and that lasted for several days. Since then... I am not in agone... but I still have constant pain on the left side of my abdomen... and my kidney area on my back is always tender... and my stomach feels bloated, not gas.. just bloated, I can't really explain. 3 days ago, I started having blood in my urine... so I called the urologist office. The nurse said I probably had a UTI, and called in a prescription... but it is doing nothing for the pain... or the blood in the urine.. What could be going on... and should I be worried? Is this normal?

A stent does take time to get used to as you said. I've only had one in my life and it was interesting, but not unbearable. The discomfort after the stent is removed is normal for a short period, and I emphasize short. A few days as I remember, meaning 2,3 or 4 days. The length of time that you've now had this discomfort and your accompaning problems such as pain, bloating, tenderness, etc. are somethings that I never experienced. From the description you've given, I'd strongly suggest that you call your Urologist back and this time tell the nurse that you want an appointment to meet with and discuss all of this with the doctor directly. The Urologist may not be that concerned as the nurse apparently wasn't, but I certainly would want to hear that directly from the doctor and not via a nurse.
