I Have Pain In Right Flank After Lithotripsy

Hi, I have my stone 1.3 mm removed by 2 sessions lithotripsy and there was no kidney pain after that but right after the lithotripsy i have a permanent lower right back pain at right flank. The pain increases when i am lay on bed straight but the pain decreases when i have a walk. Now it is more then one year i am suffering from this pain in right flank and mu ultrasound and renal test reports are all ok.

Me too , i had lithotripsy two weeks ago and i was fine for few hours after that, now the pain increases when i am lay on bed straight but the pain decreases when i have a walk. Is it a life long complication.

hello,
looks like you have an orthopedic problem than a kidney problem.
i would advise you to get a x ray of the pelvis done especially of the lumbosacral joint.
i would advise you to consult a orthopedicain in this regard and get yourself tested.
i hope i have answered your query.
take care
