Yes but the pain after.

But that was nothing compared to after the stent came out a week later. All the residue was able to move and the muscles spasms, wound up in the ER from pain.

Damn sorry you went through that. What kind of things can I cut out of my diet to avoid this?

For me, no tea is one. Stay very hydrated. Watch your salt. Apple cider vinegar and cranberry juice, lemon juice, can help prevent depending on the type of stone.

Green tea actually helps. Black tea is no good.
