Why Do I Have Severe Pain After Pulling The Stent ?
I had a stone that was removed back in April and stent was placed-!after 4 days it was pulled because I was having so much pain. Then I went to the hospital and ended up with a nephrostomy tube because no ursine was flowing in the left side, went back to the or a third time and got another stent along with the neph bag. I still have left groin pain 2-3/10 - I had a renal ultrasound today and dr said all was good! About two weeks ago I went to the Er in lots of pain and they did a ct- contrast and a full pelvic w/u ! Hopefully you can give me some suggestions, Thanks, Layla

Hello Layla and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i didn't understand the reason for PCN being placed, after removal of stent. If you can send the last urine culture test, kidney function tests( urea, creatinine), CT, and ultrasound scan report, i can give you an expert opinion, regarding further management of recurrent pain.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
