Hopefully you are doing well. I am a female who underwent a surgery last week as a stone was found in my ureter. During the surgery a kidney stent with a string was placed for 1 week to heal the ureter. The first few days with the stent were very painful and I had severe pain in my kidney area when I went to empty the bladder. This discomfort was reduced after a few days. Yesterday I got the the stent removed. I was very scared but actually i felt no pain or discomfort when the stent was taken out at the drs office. Just a slight scratchy feeling similar to when you quickly pull off a band-aid...in fact even much less than that. I did take vicodin and drank alot of water prior to this visit. It took the nurse barely 2 seconds and it was a big relief. After one day I am still feeling fine, no pain, no blood in urine (touch wood!!).
