Achy Body, Chills, High Temperature After Getting Kidney Stone Stent Removed. Reason?
I had a stent removed this morning. I was placed to do kidney stone causing swelling and abrasions. I was fine then several hours later started have a achy body all over, then started to get fever within 30 mins went from 99.9 temperature to 101.5... it has stayed around 101.5 but I also started to get chills and feel cold thats very unusal for me to get cold. And now have pain in my right kidney back area where pain was originally. Whats going on. I have had a stent 2 times before and never felt this way after removing it.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Pain after stent removal can be due to recurrence of stones, stricture in the ureter or inflammation. As you have fever and pain, it might be due to mild infection. I would suggest that you get a ultrasound done to check the possibilities. In case of stricture immediate action needs to be taken to prevent scarring.
I would suggest that you visit your urologist and discuss the above mentioned possibilities for further advise. A urine culture and course of antibiotics might be necessary.
Hope this helps
