Oh no! That sounds horrific. I've known two people who have had them. One described the experience as :"Trying to pass a bowling ball through a straw."
I had to look up "Ureteral stent"..Holy cow!
It's said that the pain is as close as a man will come to experiencing childbirth. The only worse pain I've ever experienced was cluster headaches. When I get a stone that's reluctant to pass, I remember that it can get (slightly) worse.
