Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Stents placed in the kidney ureters after surgery SHOULD be removed within 1to 3 months. pain can be due to leftover stent. Consult your urologist and get it removed or if required replaced with a new one. after checking urine tests. Cramping type of pain is either from ureter or gut. Presence of stent or a stone can produce that pain. Painkiller medicines and other drugs can irritate gut and produce that kind of pain. Take plenty of water. Do not postpone urination.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
