I had a low grade tumour with no spread at the time. I suddenly developed pain on my right lower side a round the nephrectomy site and a bit lower a couple of days ago. Has anyone experienced this, I wonder if I am over anxious about it?
Do contact your GP and the cancer nurse team as you are presumably still "on their books" as it were. I imagine you have had or are due a routine check up around now too?
Yesterday I woke feeling so very poorly. But it was my remaining kidney, felt i had been kicked by a horse. I felt sick and dizzy. I went to anxiety mode. It was only the fact my sciatica was playing up so I put on ibuprofen gel. Without realising this the gel had soaked into my skin and I think it irritated my kidney. Not a medical person, so just a guess. I am fine again today...our bodies are complex..if u are still worried contact your team...hugest hugs
