A member asked:

Should i get a tube put in my kidney they already blew up part of it and an 8 still remains this has been 2 months. i have a very painful stint.

See below: Your question is very confusing, but it appears you have kidney stones and the doctor has done lithotripsy to break up the stones, and the stent is to ensure the stones come out and do not obstruct urine flow. Stents can cause irritation.Follow instructions from your doctor.
