How Can Medullary Sponge Kidney With Stones And Stent Pain Be Treated?

I was just diagnosed with Medullary Sponge Kidney. I have a kidney stones that s 10mm (penny size) my kidney is also very enlarged and infected. The stone is near the top of my kidney. Well I had surgery yesterday to have a stent placed..but the stone is still in tact. The urologist did not try to crush the stone or get rid of it yet. I am not too sure what happned next when I go back to see him next week. What will they do from here ?? Also I m in a lot of pain from this stent. Contrast cramping and burning and discomfort. Not just when I use the bathroom. It s very consistent. Also my urine is dark red blood with some clots. I am worried since I have MSK. and the stone is still in place. My doctor is hard to reach so please give me some answers!!

Urologist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i can fully understand your concern.
In MSK, stones and urinary infection(UTI), are very common.
A stent is placed prior to crushing the stone with lithotripsy.
The stent can cause irritation and pain, as well as bleeding, which then turns the urine to a darker colour, and with clots.
If you can send the scan, urine and blood reports to me, as a direct question, i can advise expert management for the same.
