Numbness In Toes After Stent Put In Urethra From Kidney Due To Kidney Stones. Not Better After Lithrotripsy And Stent Removal. Reason?
I was in the hospital last weekend to have a stent put in my urethra from my kidney. My kidney stone was to big to pass, but the day after my stent was put in my 2nd to last toe on my left foot got numb. They did lithrotripsy to me yesterday, and removed stent, bur my toe is still numb, and seems to not be getting any better. Any reason why it might be numb?

The numbness is unrelated to the procedure. If there is no weakness and discoloration then there is no cause of concern.
Taking calcium supplements may bring relief.
Take care
