I had my kidney stent removed a month ago, but Im still feeling some pain on my side abdomen and lower back pretty frequently. Is this normal after the procedure, or could it be a sign of another issue? Could really use some guidance on this.

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.
