The last time they put a stent in for my kidney stones was in 1999. I hated having it. I constantly had to go to the bathroom and having the stent was just uncomfortable. Anyway, had stones many, many times since 1999 and each time I requested no stent. But honestly in my cases they didn't seem to want to use one anyway. I did take flomax though the last time. I've had many lithos and they don't always work on the first try. Currently I have a bunch of stones in both kidneys but they are not bothering me. I did pass a very small one over the summer and it was nothing. Sorry for those in so much pain. I know it can be truly awful.
