Kidney inicision

Hello Jd19801 

I am Brian one of the Community Champions here. I have just noticed your post has gone unanswered. I can't answer it myself as I have a different cancer, however by me replying, it will be "bumped up" to the top of the page and I hope seen and answered by other Community members.

I can understand you asking the question and as none of us are medically trained I would think the answer would be as the dull ache is still there to have a word with your team or your GP to see just what is going on.

I hope you get some answers.

Best wishes - Brian.

Hiya jd, I had a kidney removed 3 years ago, I think I know what you are experiencing.  I still get a strange feeling in my side and it does seem to change from week to week. Sometimes harder than usual and seems to swell ,which I have noticed when showering.  I think it could be damaged nerve endings but not sure. My wife asks if I'm OK when I rub it and it's hard to explain that it's just a weird feeling. I had my appendix removed when I was 21 I'm 62 now and I think I have always had the same sensation with that wound. I have my ups and downs also , the strangest thing is when I watch a film that's a bit sad or to do with family matters I get a bit emotional which I have never done before, haha.
