When you think nothing is worse than a kidney stone...
Last year I had a 1 cm kidney stone. Shockwave failed entirely so I had to do the laser with ureteroscopy. I thought nothing could hurt worse than the stone and then I got a stent. I had legitimately 24/7 kidney and bladder spasms at the same time for the full duration of it being in and for 3 days after. Absolutely nothing could touch the pain and I pretty much laid in a hot bath and cried around the clock.
Now I have. 5-6 mm stone. I was able to get this one out of my kidney and it's in my ureter. It's been here for 5 weeks and now I'm getting the more intense pain that requires me to take strong pain meds.
My question is for those of you who had a HORRIBLE stent experience time #1, did you have a horrible time the second time around? I want this to just be over but I would love to know from you all what your second time experience was like.
(Urologist said placement would be too hard to get with shockwave so that's not an option)
