Dear,

Post ESWL (long as your pain is tolerable with the analgesics given to you need not worry.

However, if you experience severe urinary symptoms or develop fever or if there is retention of urine or difficulty in passing urine, then you need to see the doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
