Stents: Ureteral stents can cause quite a bit of discomfort. Some tolerate them fairly well while some feel they are nearly as uncomfortable as a stone in the ureter. Nausea can be addressed with Phenergan (promethazine) suppositories while pain can be improved with oral Flomax and ketorolac. Continued use of narcotics over a long period can result in dependency.
