My fiance is 27 years old, male, 61, 235 pounds and has had 33 kidney stones in the past 3 years in the left kidney. He has had 3 stistoscopes 2 years ago and 2 stints and he is passing a stone right now. He also has no insurance. He is having severe leg, thigh, knee and sometimes calf pains. This only happens when he passes a stone. Can these be related?
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist, i can understand your anxiety. Yes, his symptoms are likely related to the passage of the stone. Its called radiating pain, from loin to groin and can occur down the thighs.That's due to a nerve, which causes the pain to radiate downwards. He should take anti-spasmodic injection to relieve pain. Then take tablets. He should also be Chat Doctor. Avoid milk and dairy products. Along with next blood tests, check uric acid. Repeat ultrasound scan after a month, to confirm status of residual stones. If you've any doubts, send all reports to me, as a direct question.
