I've had my kidney stent removed about a month ago, but I'm still having some pain in my side abdomen and my back pretty often. Is this normal, or could it indicate another issue? I'm really worried and could use some guidance.

It is not uncommon to experience some pain in the side abdomen and back after a kidney stent removal procedure. However, if the pain is persistent or severe, it could be a sign of a urinary tract infection or kidney stone. I recommend taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. Additionally, drink plenty of water to help flush out any potential kidney stones. If the pain persists or worsens, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
