Was the stint the doctor put in painful? How long did it stay in? Was it painful to get it removed?

My daughter felt pain from the stent at times but it was a dull pain.
Taking it out was fine- she was sedated.

I had a stent that was in approximately 3 months. It was put in during surgery under general anesthesia and I don’t remember why it was there for so long. Had no problem with it at all. Just make sure your physician has a a clear understanding of your your pain tolerability.
