I recently had a baby in September. During my 1st Trimester, I had surgery on my right kidney. I had several stents placed and taken out during and after my pregnancy. I had a healthy delivery. Post delivery they found I had UPJ obstruction. I have 2 renal arteries coming off my right kidney and one of the arties has a bruie. I had surgery at MUSC to correct the problem. They cut my ureter and repositioned it. That was done through robotic surgery. Since the surgery, which was done in November of this year, I have experienced numbness in my legs from the knee down every time I have a bowel movement and also my heart has been skipping beats regularly and also my right eye and right lip will twitch occasionally. Last night I went to the ER because I was vomitting black very thick vomit and eventually bile. My CT Scan came back ok, blood work came back ok, and urine came back ok. However then they ordered an IEP with contrast and it showed my right kidney was not draining and still was not draining 18 hours after they first put the dye in. I had another surgery this morning, (my 8th surgery) and have to have another surgery in the future said my urologist. My question is, could these other symptoms, (numbness, vommitting, eye and lip twitching) be related somehow to something else?? I am a 26 yr. old female, with no medical concerns other than this and I am healthy. weigh 118 and a mom of 3. Also, could my renal bruie be significant to any of this...all the doctors i ve dealt with seem to blow off the fact there is a bruie in that artery?? why?
Hello, It can be due to the side effects of anesthesia. Epidural and spinal can chase minor nerve ordained can cause similar symptoms. Nothing much to worry and in most cases, it will settle by itself. If symptoms persist better to consult a neurologist and get evaluated. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
