Hi everyone

I was wondering if anyone has experienced similar to this and whether you are just getting on with it or if it’s worth raising with a doctor?

I had a left orchidectomy in February 2024. Although it was pure seminoma, it was 53mm in size so I was also given a single treatment of carboplatin in May 2024. 

Generally now I am feeling well and latest CT/bloods/X-ray came back clear. However, I regularly get an ache in my left side somewhere between the lower rib cage and my upper hip. It comes and goes, and can vary in exact location. 

When I last mentioned this to my GP they suggested I just needed to give more time to heal from the surgery. This was a while ago now, is it worth mentioning it again? Or, has anyone else experienced this and found something that works well for them, such as particular stretching exercises?

Many thanks!
