Is Stiff And Sore Neck After Lithotripsy Normal?

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?

Hello,

It may be due to prolonged postural positioning during the procedure. Possible causes like cervical spondylitis must be ruled out.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
