Standard of care (no alpha-blocker). All subjects will be discharged with standard pain-killers and a diary to track usage. Subjects in Terazosin and Tamsulosin groups will receive respective study medications to complete 14 days course of treatment. Follow-Up: * Day 7: A phone call will check medication use and any side effects. * Day 15: Clinic visit for stent removal (standard practice). Subjects will complete the USSQ questionnaire, and medication compliance will be reviewed. End of study: Final phone call to check for any additional side effects.
