Are Swelling And Bloating Normal While Having Kidney Stones?

I had ESWL treatment for a 1.7 cm kidney stone lodged in my left kidney last Tuesday. I continue to have pain off and on. I ve passed about 15 very small pieces of the stone, but it does seem that quite a bit of it must be left. My main question is this: Is it normal to feel swollen and bloated? I can barely stand to be wearing pants right now.

Hello
Thanks for query .
You have undergone ESWL for fragmentation of 1.7 cm size stone in your left kidney and now getting pain and bloating .

It is normal to get bloating and pain in abdomen after ESWL .This could have been minimized if D.J stent would have been placed in before ESWL which helps to pass out the fragments without pain and avoids bloating .

You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefixime along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily .

Ensure to drink more water to help the fragments to pass down quickly.
