If your ureter is swollen shut, you can have severe stone-like pain for 3 to 7 days. With a stent, urine flows freely and you don't experience this pain. It can widen the ureter so small stone fragments pass more easily. A stent also causes its own temporary difficulties -- ask your doctor what to expect.
