What Causes Shocking Sensation In Chest While Peeing After Unsuccessful Stone Removal Procedures?

I have had 3 procedures to remove large kidney stone on left...none successful. Stent in place. Now every time I pee I have a strange, shocking sensation in middle of my chest that travels up and down my right arm. It is not painful, but it is very strong. What is happening?

hello
Thanks for query.
You have stent in your renal unit placed while doing surgery for removing kidney stone ..

The shocking sensation in chest while passing urine is due to fact that while passing urine some amount of urine passes up through the lumen of stent back into kidney which distends the pelvis of the kidney giving rise to refereed pain in chest and around the kidney area.

Do not worry this will go away once the stent is removed.
