Hello Thanks for query . You had undergone endoscopic surgery of URS for fragmentation of stone in your left ureter and ESWL for 5 mm stone in left kidney .
The pain ,fever and chills that you have is due to following factors . 1) There are bacteria in the center of the stone (Nidus ) which get liberated after fragmenting stone .These bacteria enter in to general blood circulation and cause fever and chills 2) There is a allergic reaction of the mucus membrane of Ureter(Ureteritis) to the foreign body (Stent) that gives rise to pain and fever .
These are known and common events after URS and DJ stenting .
Following measures will help to resolve the issue 1) Drink more water 2) Take appropriate antibiotics and anti inflammatory medicines as per advice of your Urologist .
This will get resolved after removing the stent .
