pains after stent removal
by nefropatient, Nov 27, 2008 01:11PM
i had a kidney stone a week ago, had surgery, had stent in and the stent was just removed a few days ago. i have been in severe pain ever since, especially in the lower of left kidney. i have to urinate every couple of hours , the flow of urine is normal, and then the pain worsen. its almost unbearable. flomax, cipro, .The urologist told me I was not going to have any more kidney pain after stent removal. I went home and wanted to believe him, so after a couple of hours, the pain increased almost or perhaps more than before. the pain sometimes take a long time to subside and I can relax a bit, but as soon as I urinate, the pain comes back worse than last time before. Heeelppp, please somebody tell me what could be waiting for me, what to look forward to,
Also I am constipated for the last three days, bloated, my left foot is swelling, my blood pressure has gone up considerably i used to be 150/80 today is 188/96 last night was 198/96 , taken at home with a CVS Pharmacy blood pressure monitor.

The first thing that I would do is talk with the urologist.
Your symptoms are not what I would expect after stent removal. It sounds as though you have an obstruction in your ureter. If could be a blood clot or another stone. You probably need an IVP or CAT scan.
As to your blood pressure, pain and anxiety can certainly raise this. I have not seen high blood pressure from kidney obstruction in the short term.
Get back to your urologist.
