I am going in tomorrow to have a cystoscopy and possibly put a stent in my left ureter. I am concerned about pain management following this procedure. The Dr. assured me he would give me meds BUT I am allergic to anything with codeine which is what I've been told all the "good" stuff has. An ER Dr. gave me Ultram and it was terrible. No help with pain at all. I've dealt with kidney stone pain for almost a month and need something that is going to manage this pain from the procdure! I am really at my limit here but don't know what to ask for.

Your doctor should know what meds to give you that you are not allergic to. The important thing is tell him you do not want to be in ANY pain when you wake up!!
I had a kidney stone removed and a stent put in and it was worst than having my son!
Don't mean to alarm you but you must tell him that you wish to be in NO PAIN when you wake up. Let him decide what meds you can have with no reaction.
Best of Luck......you will be glad you had the stone removed.

Percocet or darvocet may be a good choice for you..percocet works really well for serious pain..it will make you very drowsy and want to go to sleep, but you will feel like no procedure was done at all, as long as you take it as perscribed...without waiting too long in between doses so the pain doesnt start to kick in again, pain meds work better ,taken before the pain actually starts to get bad....so don't wait until your in alot of pain to take the relief...good luck and get well soon!
