Pain after kidney stone

I passed a kidney stone from my left kidney two days ago, and I'm currently experiencing slight/mild pain in my left flank. Is this something to be concerned about, or is this normal?

It is very common and settles. Was there just this one stone on imaging? It’s obviously possible to have further stones but if a CT-KUB suggested not the you should be good to go. Drink 3 litres of water throughout the day every day. I hope that you got the stone sent off for stone analysis to help guide you moving forward.
