Right kidney - lower back pain?

TRANAM1955

HI Folks,

I am 17 days post op and really feel great....however, my right kidney is sore and tender. My urine color is still light yellow so I dont think I am in ketosis or dehydrated? I do not think it is a gas pain because it is not going away.

Did any of you have one kidney only be painful or tender?

Sounds like a question for your doctor. One guy in our class kidney's shut down and he ended up back in the hospital with dehydration. Don't mean to scare you but call the doc and be safe.
Hope you feel better soon.

I was still experiencing pain on the right side so I went to a walk in clinic today, ( my doctor was closed ) and the PA said I had a mild urinary tract infection. I asked her several times was she sure I did not have a problem with my kidney and she said no. I am also experiencing pain or tenderness on my back on the right side. So, she thinks it is the urniary tract infection and the fact I have been sedentary most of this week. ( I worked from home and was on the computer for 15 hours most days ) I am on antibiotics and took some ibuprofen. It has been 5 days since I had a BM and I guess my body is kinda stoppin up? I took some stool softeners so maybe tomorrow will be a better day. Sorry if it is TMI, but I feel some one else may have this happen and they should know it will be okay.

Good thing you were checked out. I have a mild kidney problem and it causes hypertension. Kidneys are nothing to mess with! Take care of yourself and cut back on your work hours, if you can.
