What Causes Weakness On The Right Side After An ESWL Procedure Towards The Right Side In A Teenager?
Question: my son is almost seventeen. just had a kidney stone blasted. he is now experiencing weakness on his right side and cannot balance on his right leg he cannot grip a pen or write too well. the kidney stone was on the right side. he is seeing a neurologist on monday. could this be related to the kidney stone?
Brief Answer:
His symptoms are not related to kidney stones.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query. I have noted your son's symptoms.
These are not related to kidney stones. Based on the symptoms, we need to exclude a brain pathology such as stroke (lack of blood supply to the brain) or demyelination (damage to myelin sheath- covering of nerves).
A brain scan would help in further evaluation. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Best wishes,
