I had a lithotripsy on Monday afternoon to busy a 7mm kidney stone. It is now Thursday night and for the most of today I have been experiencing a painful tingling sensation in my urethra (though it could technically be in the lower portion of the bladder)... It feels like little pins are being stuck into my urethra all up and down the tube, and every once in awhile it will be one long string of pain up my urethra tube. Any idea what this could be?
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. After lithography treatment, its quite normal to have the symptoms you're feeling. Small fragments of the stone will be flushing out in the following week. Hence the symptoms. You must Chat Doctor.  The painful symptoms can be relieved by taking a syrup of potassium citrate, which your doctor will prescribe. Get well soon. You can contact me if you have any doubts.
