Hi
If you still have got the stent inside you then that explains the symptoms. 2 out of 3 patients who have stents have what are called stent symptoms which include urge to urinate, frequency of urination, bleeding in urine now and then, pain/cramps in lower abdomen, pain in the loin area in the sided of stent insertion etc. Not all symptoms occur in all patients.

Infection has to be ruled out. Hence submit an urine sample for culture and keep drinking adequate fluids. You could take mild pain killers. If pain persists contact the urologist who inserted the stent.
