Diagnosed With Kidney Stones. Stint Put To Keep Kidney Open. Painful. How Long To Pass Stone?
My husband was diagnosed with kidney stones 3wks ago and had a procedure to crush one as it was lodged and had a stint put it to keep kidney open. Since then he has had a lot of pain and was told he had another stone and it should pass as stint is in? He is still in a lot of pain and taking painkillers and has to go back in 8 days to have stint removed. How long does it take to pass a stone?? Is it normal to have such pain still?
Thank you

Quite often patient with stent placed experience pain when they pass stones. Intermittent pain occurring is very common. The duration of recovery depends on the size of calculi and to what size was it fragmented.
