- A patient candidly describes her experience after ureteral stent placement and lithotripsy by Dr. John C. Lin at Sunrise Urology. Kidney stone pain is bad enough. Ureteral stent should not make kidney stone pain worse, but may help decrease the risk of kidney infection.

WHAT??? I'm in excruciating pain with the pain patch & spasm meds!! This is unbelievably unbearable. wow she's amazing.... lord help me 7 more days to go
Me too drugged myself for months to bear pain
Same! It’s horrible!!!!!
Thank you for writing this, she doesn’t come across as being authentic tbh.
I think you're right. Someone paid her to say all that.@@natashafleming5990
Bull Hockey, I have talked to 8 released stent patients ALL said "never again" Pain was terrible and unbearable. This woman must be an exception
since she was recorded in the doctors office??????
So true! Horrible!
Never again... I'm on my 3rd week of misery
Blood is also there with me ??
Agree, never again I hope.
Good for her. I’m on week five and the pain has been extremely difficult to manage. Today I get the stent removed. I’m counting the minutes now. For weeks, I counted the sleeps.
Thank goodness I only had the stent for 8 days…it was the most horrendous pain ever. Was so relieved when it was removed. I don’t know how people keep that thing in for weeks or months. Mine had a string and I would’ve pulled it out myself if they didn’t take it out.
And I’ve given birth 3 times….this pain was a million times worse than labor.
Yeah I have a stent and this is complete bs. It hurts like you wouldn't believe!
I'm right there with you! It's is very painful having it in. Did your doctor give you pain meds for it?
Oh my l have to have a ureteric stent because of obstruction and it maybe permanent. How in the world can you handle such pain? I was told it would be replaced every three months.
I know this is old but you are so right. Its DEBILITATING!!!!! This lady is either paid to say this, or has the highest pain tolerance in the universe lol!
@@nameunknown5736 that's is the honest truth!!!
I have had a stent twice. 1st was following kidney surgery and I had no serious symptoms. The doctor who removed it in office, via cyscopy did not allow enough time for the numbing medicine to take effect, so the removal was very painful. 2nd was after kidney stone removal. I had a lot of typical symptoms, mild pain and cramping, frequency, urgency, to the point of needing medication. But the urologist who I was going to made sure I was give adequate time for the lidocaine to work, before removal. So each experience is unique and not everyone has the same experience.
I have a swollen kidney and an obstruction on my kidney. My urologist wants me to get a kidney stent and I am so scared. I am scared of the pain, nausea, infection, fever, chills, blood in urine, if it gets dislodged puncturing other organs, and any other side effects I may have to put up with that my doctor didn’t even care to mention. I have been through 6 major surgeries in my life and I am not prepared to go through all this. I would need anesthesia to put the stent and to take it out as well. I have zero tolerance for pain
The ureteric stent was so painful for me, I had to lie down after pee every time. Even after its removal, the cramp and burning pain continued. I am on second day after removal and still in bad pain right now.
Mine to its hurting like hell!!!!!
Me too bro what was the problem and solution please tell me
Unbelievable. I am not having the experience she had. This is horrible!
5 day in terrible pain
I had to go back to the hospital. NO DAY WITH OUT PAIN KILLING MEDICINE.. HIROBle feeling 😢
I have one in the left ureter after stone removal on 12th October. Was very painful first two days as expected and was given pain medication to use when severe. I have not taken them so far and the pain when I pee is bearable. My Urologist is saying I have to be with it for 2 months. I had a large kidney stone 1.2cm lodged in the distal 1/3 but had never felt any pain or symptoms as they say people with kidney stones experience but was damaging my kidney slowly. Take home (1) regular check ups (2) don’t be scared with what others say each patient reacts differently
It's good that she had that experience, but not all people I nearly died because I got sepsis from mine
I have one in now omg I'm going through it waiting to get shock or sound waves it's been a week and the string hanging is driving me nuts don't know how ya did it!!!!!!!!
I just had surgery last Wednesday. I can tell you I have the stint in and I'm having mild pain on my right side spasm like pain with frequent urination. Blood still in my urine (TMI) sorry. I'm supposed to get the stent out next Tuesday in my Dr office. It still burns like hell when I pee too 😳☹🤦🏾♀️
I still have blood in my urine what to do
This sounds so horrible why isnt there a better option in 2022??
I am not sure if I can handle this
Some woman compared the contracting pain to pain during labor, just on one side. I heard it is worst when you have a stent on the right side. You have been warned.
It's true
My friend had twins, natural birth. Her answer to me was “this is the worst pain imaginable, no one can prepare you for it, I would rather have my twin again than go through the pain of a stent for 2 weeks”
Good for her. What’s the point? I have had at least 5 stents and they’re completely intolerable and horrific. I highly doubt this is the majority. In fact, you likely wouldn’t have posted this if that was the case…stents are the worst spasm horrific pain jump off a cliff type thing
Had 3 stent in the last month after the first I bleed and hurt really bad had to have smaller stent put n but the third just a few spasms just resting for a week so I get better
That’s crazy lol I’m in so much pain right now I cannot stand when I do it’s so much pressure and pain. The restroom is a burning sensation. Idk what this lady is talking about😮
I have a stent in now and I'm literally on the floor crying in pain everytime I have to urinate.
I feel your pain... I'm almost at 4 weeks of misery with this stent
Uuugggg I want to die
The uncomfortable feeling is crazy and always peeing😭😭
@@Sayyestoheaven31 my body was rejecting the stent but they said I had to keep it in. It was the worst pain I've ever felt. It was far worse than the actual stone to the point I wasn't able to actually cry , I just shook in pain. Oxy didn't help either. The ONLY thing that actually helped was trying to drink really cold water while peeing. I told my Urologist about it and they incorporated it into recovery for their patients as trial
@@joeynox I have xanix klonopins all knock out meds and it's not working I feel like pulling this dam string hanging out a pulling the MF!!!!!!!!!!on a 1 to 10 it's a 20 literally
@@Sayyestoheaven31 dude they say how long you had to keep it in? I had mine for 11 days. When they took it out there was almost no pain. But I did pee all over the Dr and her assistant 🤣. Fyi you might pee on them
Good for her, different for everybody.
My stent hurts bad. ALL THE TIME
I am getting a Ureteric Stent put in and l am extremely worried about pain and frequency urgent of urinate. I pray l have good results.
I have stent since 1 week ..Pain + Bleeding I am bit worried
Just removed stent and boyy my kidney hurts but it's not that bad what should i do and i can pee but little little ya know its hard
Nice
Looks like everyone reacts differently. For me, It was uncomfortable but not painful. Peeing post-procedure was like peeing fire, though (LOL). I removed the stent myself after 5 days and did have a few hours of pain afterwards. Took hydrocodone/acetaminophen, aleve, oxybutynin and tamsulosin. In retrospect,i should have premedicated before pulling the stent. I bled quite a bit until the stent was removed but I am also on a anticoagulant. I will have another ureteroscopy in April and will definitely premedicate before pulling the string! Good luck to all!
That’s wonderful for you, but not the same for me! I suffered ! Peaded all over myself, had no control! I had to wear depends! The pain was beyond decrption. The spasms were horrible! 6 weeks of torture! I guess some people are ok with this. I had a terrible experience with it !! Hope I never have to have it again !!!!!
After one week still got blood & pain.
Got my stent removed today. Tremendous pain with local jelly anaesthesia. Better go for injected anaesthesia. U will be discharged immediately after local jelly anaesthesia. But better stay some time in hospital with regular anaesthesia as the pain is unbearable.
BOLOGNA!! The spasms hurt like hell when urinating and its very uncomfortable!!! I have to lay down for 15 minutes every time before they stop!
Well I do have horrible excruciating pain and I'm begging my doctor right now to take the stent out and not wait another week and a half !!!!!!!!!!
Most my discomfort was from the need to constantly pee, combined with the burning sensation when urinating. The burning was exasperated by the constipation from my meds. Once the constipation cleared up the discomfort wasn’t as bad, although it still lingered
NOT my experience!! Pain when using the washroom. Necessary...but not fun!
I am so glad to finally hear a good experience story. I think people need to take all the negative stories in context. It's usually the person with a horror story that wants to share about their experience, whether a stent, birth story, back surgery, parking authority, whatever.
Coached!
Mine has been torture the whole time. I have not been able to do anything 😢
Omg me too
I'm with you!!!!!!
@@Sayyestoheaven31 I’m so glad that I’m on the other side of it all now. Hope I NEVER have to do that again.
@@horrorspeaks can't wait ta get this out hopefully this week this is the kind of pain you can't close ur eyes and just forget about I've had it in since the 22nd don't know how much I can take but I'm glad ur done with this horrible intense feeling👍
@@Sayyestoheaven31 you will feel so much better
Ok, good for her. I'm glad she had a better than average experience. I believe her's is in the minority, not the majority.
100%
This is bullshit , I have a stent in for 2 days now , and first time I peed I passed out from the pain and hit head . Second time I vomited, now every time since I roll on the floor withering in pain . Never again
I feel ya… I’m supposed to have it done on my right side as well. I can’t stand the pain……for me it’s like having stones in the process of passing. It’s horrible. My stent is coming out & 12:01 May 15th 2023. I hope I live to see a republican back in the White House!! 😢😢😭
Bull crap
Can’t be true! Not sure if I believe her. Why would the dr prescribe heavy pain meds with refills if there not pain? I’m on my third week with it; cramping , pinching and pain. It is intermittent and sometimes for hours . Its sometimes painful to pee which with the stent you have to go urgently and often . I never want to go through this again.
Gurl, no way. My stent was from the pits of hell. I just had it removed today(a week post-op) and I am still in pain. Happened to scroll up on your video while searching, "why am I still hurting following stent removal?"🥴
Just had mine done today, surgery no complications. Had stent placed today, very mild spams. Very little pain. Only taking tynenol extra strength when needed. I urinated immediately with next to no pain. Pain in itself is subjective however, I have come to see and understand that a) many over react eggxarate. B) possible women have it easier. My stone was in upjunction between kidney and ureter. If I can withstand the discomfort ( not pain) so can you. It's not bad as people say
It’s different for everyone…….Mine is as bad as passing a stone. I’m glad you had a good time with yours.😂
It’s not as bad as I say……it’s worse than I say!!
You are also lying, did the good dr give you a discount to write that?
That’s a lie. Omg I’m dying.
