Hi
If you have stone in the only kidney left then it definitely needs treatment. If the procedure through the penis has failed then the other method to try is called PCNL.
This involves puncturing the kidney through the flank.
Since you have got pain now, I would advise you to get another CT scan done and see the current position and size of stone and formulate treatment accordingly. Meanwhile tr mild pain killers as paracetamol or codeine through your doctor.
