Hello Dawn and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i must advise you, treatment depends on the scan report.
The cause for kidney to swell up,is not mentioned.
The blood, urine and scan reports are also not mentioned.
This must be change of recent onset, as you're in severe pain.
Common causes are stone, inflammation, infections and tumor.
A stent helps to relieve any obstruction; also helps in improving function.
If you've any doubts,you may send reports to me, as a direct question.
