Patient journey

Hey all, I had severe back pain and vomiting + nausea a week ago, so I initially ignored thinking it must be pre period cramps or something, but after a CT Scan, I figured out there was a stone (6.4mm), surprisingly trying to come out and not get stuck there inside, so the urologist told me to take some tablets and monitor for a few days an let the stone come out itself, but we gave 3 days and it didn’t work so, he suggested I get the surgery and put the stent.

Got the surgery yesterday, completely painless and was done under general anaesthesia. I only remember going in and coming out of OT, now the stent part, i do have pain and discomfort, doctor said they will remove it under local anaesthesia after 3 weeks from now which is on 19th and I have my sem end exams, can someone please help me out with the pain management???

Ask your doctor for a Percocet, Toradol Flomax pyrudim an oxybutynin.

Why they put stent if they don't go up so much? It the stone is near bladder and they just go in few mm? The stent is the worst part of this surgery!  Yeah yeah yeah, i know, if the scope or laser will make some damage the ureter it will inflamate but really? The guidelines of urology say the stent is not A MUST if the stone is im UVJ near bladder because the laser scope will not go up on the entire ureter!  I have a stone in my UVJ near bladder, a 5-6mm one hanging there for almost 2 mon...
