Worried

Hello Preston8.

I had a total Nephrectomy over 14 years ago and over the years have and still occasionally experience  an aching pain around the operation area.  
I remember on one occasion it was almost as severe as the original pain pre op. Like you i was quite unsettled. Irrational really but remained concerned until my next routine scan showed nothing. Proof of how weird our bodies are. 
Granted you having had a partial nephrectomy may have more reason to be worried and it’s good that a scan has been completed so promptly. Waiting for results is always a difficult time and I hope you don’t have to wait too long. 
I can’t actually say to you don’t worry but keep in mind something I’ve come to realise over the years that worrying exacerbates pain.

Wishing you well and a speedy answer  it sounds like your nurse is on the ball

Thank you Rojan,

That's brilliant you are 14 years post op. Yes my CNS nurse is certainly impressive, obtaining a scan within a week. The NHS comes in for a lot of criticism but I can't fault the care I have received. It is interesting but true that worrying does make pain worse, so I am trying to relax andthink of other things while I wait for the result of the recent CT. I'll let you know how things are. Again, thanks for your reply
