Maybe maybe not: From your brief description of the pain it's not at all clear that this is from your prior or even from a new kidney stone. It could be pain from the stomach pain from the chest wall pain from the skin pain from the intestines or even other rare possibilities. Brief and mild pain can usually be watched and treated with mild analgesia. And if the pain resolves itself promptly there is often no need for concern. However if the pain persists gets worse or is accompanied by other symptoms such as fever vomitingprompt doctor visit is recommended
