What Causes Swelling In Legs And Abdominal Pain After Laser Lithotripsy?
I had a 10mm stone that was lodged just above the bladder removed with a laser lithotripsy done on Wed. Last night and today I am having swelling of my legs and feet plus low abdominal pain. There was also a stent placed during the procedure and that is scheduled to be removed in one week.
