Is Kidney Pain Normal After Ureteroscopy And Retrograde Pyelogram?

I underwent a ureteroscopy and retrograde pyelogram in the am on Friday 25 March. It is now Monday 28 March and i am continuing to suffer from a severe crampy sort of pain around the left kidney area, it is bad enough that i can't sleep and over the counter pain killers are not helping. Is this a normal after effect and what else can i do to ease the pain?
