Is it normal to have left flank pain post stone and urethral stent removal?
Patient: I had a left urethral stent place on 6/7 for a 7mm kidney stone. i never passe the stone despite the stent being in and medication. I had the stone and stent removed 7/1 and continue to have left flank pain. is this normal and for how long does it usually last  thanks Doctor: Good Day and thank you for being with Healthcare Magic! I would suggest getting another CT Stonogram to check the cause of the left flank pain and if the stone is still there then I would suggest a ureteroscopic procedure to remove the stone definitely. I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for.
