Hi Macie....
Newbie here. My 3rd surgery removed a tumor, which doc thought was too close to the kidney urether tube, left side. So he put in the stent to prevent problems with fluid blockage/backup. This gizmo was 11" long, from the kidney to the bladder, and was there for 10 days. YES, IT HURT the whole time!! Certain movements felt like an ice-pick jabbed into my lower back. And urination made one grit my teeth til done. Ouch. Removal was a blessing. How long did you have yours?
