anyone have any info on recovery after ureteroscopy - had 3 kidney stones removed by ureteroscopy 3 1/2 weeks ago, most pain and discomfort left about 3 weeks after proceedure. Thought I was go to go, went back to work (police officer ) a day after wearing gun belt - had significant pain, bearable, took tylenol first then motrin later. Doctor says I am just recovering from the proceedure, took about 90 min - 2 hours, stint in for about 48 hours, even had another CT scan to determine if I had another stone, but Doc says don't worry. I feel fairly good most of the time, just a little concerned. Talked with a relative who had same proceedure - took two months to be pain free. Just wondering.................
