Should I Be Given Pain Medication After Having A Lithotripsy For Removal Stones?
Had lithotripsy done Monday, have been passing stones all week (largest being 5mm) the surgeon refused refills on pain meds and says I shouldn't be in any pain. But passing the stones feel like childbirth and my abdomen is painfully swollen and tight

Good Day and thank you for being with healthcare magic!
I would suggest consulting in the emergency room for your pain medications. They might do some imaging examinations to check the size and location of the stone fragments in your ureter (tube that connects the kidney to the bladder).
