Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, let me assure you that ESWL, doesn't cause swelling in the legs.
If you can send me the blood and scan(U/S or CT) reports, with medication being taken presently, here in my name, i can give you expert advice, regarding further management.
Ask him to drink 12-15 glasses fluids daily.
Wishing him a speedy recovery.
