Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have kidney stones and right now I'm taking potassium citrate for two months and it will end on Aug . But for four days now I'm feeling numbness in my left leg sometimes alone and sometimes together with my left lower back having pain . Question - are these two related or my leg pain does not have to do with my kidney stones ?
Hello. I just saw your query and I am really concerned about you. Dear, You might be suffering from some kidney infection along with kidney stone. If you are feeling numbness or stinging sense in your limbs, it can be an early sign of nerve damages, therefore early and effective treatment should be sought to prevent more serious consequences.
You might be having Vein thrombosis, which indeed is a serious situation. Numbness means that the blood is not flowing properly in your limbs.
Often the longest nerves are first affected such as the nerves on the legs, that is why your are feeling numbness in your legs.
You need immediate medical attention. I would suggest you to see your practitioner.
Thanks Dr. Tripat Mehta
