Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
On the weekend I suffered a kidney stone, underwent lithotripsy and in the last couple of days have experienced a very stiff and sore neck. Initially the stiffness and soreness was on the right side but seems to be encompassing the left side as well. Is this a common post op symptom?
