Hi Everyone,
Me again, has anyone with kidney can had any pain in lower back, lumbar and coccyx area?
I know with kidney cancers you typically only have pain in the flank area I think..
I have had long standing lower lumbar back/coccyx pain for 15 years! Do you think it could be due my cancer? :(
Back pain - due to the time span, I doubt cancer is the trigger. Have you tried a physio for the back? I had lower back pain and physio confirmed what was going on and now fixed. Not a quick fix, though! You can get physio from your GP now in Eng and Sco from the NHS. Not sure about Wales and NI.
I’ve had a bad lower back for the last 8ish years but put it down to a car accident I was in as did see chiropractor for a while after accident, it did improve and then reappeared about 6 years ago so just got on with it. Interestingly since radical nephrectomy of my right kidney in February my back ache has gone.
Waiting to see if it reappears as I go back to work (am a driving instructor) as I’m sat on the car all day and posture not the best when teaching.
hope you’re doing ok
