Could Kidney Stone Be Causing Numbness In Buttocks And Lower Extremities?
concerned about my 84 yr old Father: Very healthy and active, but recently experiencing numbness in his buttocks and lower extremities. He was also just diagnosed with a large kidney stone, (dime size). He is scheduled to have this removed next week. Could the two possibility be related? If not, what could be the reasons for numbness?

Kidneys stones are not relatd to your father back problem. Back pain and numbness must related to some problem in the lower part of spine. The pain and numbness may be because of some nerve compression in the back. He might need an xray or MRI of the back.
You can write back with your queries.
