Is it normal to need AZO and Aleve 4 days after passing a stone?

Patient journey

I (54F) passed my first stone (4 cm, pics in history) four days ago. I subsequently cut back on pain meds but found that I’m still experiencing quite a bit of pain. Mostly a full, achy feeling in my bladder & burning in my urethra bad enough to drive me back to AZO. I have a little achiness in my back but nothing like the great crossing event. Is it normal to still need pain management four days later? When should I expect to feel like myself again? I just want to make sure I’m not having a second bout starting. On my scan, there was one 4mm stone, which I passed, and one punctuate stone in the kidney.

I agree your point
