Have Pain In Kidney Due To Stone, Have Ureteral Stent Placed. Should I Go To ER?

Hello. About 3 weeks ago I had a ureteral stent place on my left side. I had a 7mm stone (they say they no longer see) and discovered I have a stricture. Im pending authorization for laser procedure for stricture. I am having horrific waves of pain jn my left kidney that is not relieved by pain medication. Should I go to the ER?

If you have fever or blood in urine or severe pain you should go the ER soon. Or else take an OPD appointment with your doctor.

Hi
Thanks for the query
You did not mention the location of the stone.
The cause of pain could be movement ydratedof the stone in the ureter, obstruction or infection.
So you need to see the physician who can examine you and do further tests like an ultrasound and urine exam to determine the cause.
Meanwhile keep yourself well hydrated.
Hope this helps
Good luck.
