Here are the only complications or side effects listed.

Most patients have some blood in the urine for a few days. The shattered stone fragments might cause discomfort as they pass through the urinary tract. Sometimes, the stone is not totally shattered, and additional treatments may be needed.

Answer:
No, don't be scared. They’ll give you something to rest you before the procedure and then pain meds after wards. You'll be OK.
