Im having a stent removed from my kidney today and im very nervous. Has anyone had one removed?

Question

And if so how painful was it?

Answer 1

My daughter had the stent removed after her transplant and while it was a slight tugging and a little cramp, it was over quickly - never painful. There are lots of other patients and caregivers who can answer similar questions on the kidney message forum at www.ihatedialysis.com. Online discussions are a great way to connect with those with CKD. I wish you the best of luck.
