Hello
Thanks for query .

Based on the facts that you have posted you seem to have impacted stone in ureter with gross hydronephrosis and urologist has rightly placed stent in your ureter to drain out the urine from kidney into bladder .

Normally one should not get if the stent is patent and functioning well.The pain that you are getting could be due to either stent is blacked and the stone has moved down and got impacted at the three common narrow portions of ureter.

Please consult your Urologist and repeat ultrasound scanning for assessment ..
You may need to remove the stent and replace it by putting another stent .
