Hello
Thanks for query .
You have not mentioned about whether you are getting pain On rt side where kidney is removed or on left side .
The pain on Right side could be mostly due to surgical trauma and will get resolved over a period of few months .
If the pain is on left side it could be due to presence of stone either in kidney or ureter and needs to be confirmed by Ultrasound Scanning of abdomen .
Consult the operating surgeon for assessment and further treatment .
