ok. I had a stint put in my left kidney a month ago when I ended up in the er for kidney stones. the drs office that the dr works at said that I have to pay for the surgery before they can remove it. I don't have the money so I still have the stint. I do believe it is kinked and has been for about 2 and a half weeks because now I have stuff down there bulging out to the point where it looks and feels like I am crowning a baby. I am passing stones from my right kidney now and my stool is just mucous my stomach is full of liquid to the point it looks like I'm really bloated I have to strain hard to pee I have had a continuous headache and I went back to the same er yesterday. they took urine and blood. I told the nurse that drew my blood that is was way too dark it has never been that dark. when the nurse practitioner spoke to the dr that put the stint in he told her to send me home and have me get in touch with his office within the next day or two. I called the dr office and they finally set me up to have the surgery in a week. they didn't do that until I threatened them that if I die because of this that they will be sued for neglect because they know the severe risks with leaving the stint in. oh and they did not even do a physical check down there. if they would have then they would not have sent me home. I do not have a credit or debit card to pay to get any answers and I need to know something, anything. please
