Hello,
If you've read my new members posting, you would know that l've just had my left kidney removed last October,,and am still recovering..at lot slower than l'd like to be..
.Unfortunatelty, having seen the Specialist last week he has concerns about discomfort and pain that l am suffering from in my right kidney and has rushed a scan through, which l'm having tomorrow.........I've got to admit l'm really nervous, not about the scan but about the results,
I'm not trying to look on the negative side but l have to be realistic, if there is a further problem with the right kidney.... then it could mean surgery .....
I' am really scared, l spent 5 weeks in hospital last time, and was very poorly..
They did find there was something wrong the the remaining kidney, but thought it could cope with working for two..but now l'm not so sure.
Just thought l would vent my worries on here, rather than stew about it...
I hope you all don't mind...everyone seems so caring and friendly....

RE: Scan Nerves........
Hi Tizana,
you are bound to be worried, thats only natural. There is bound to be a period of adjustment as your one remaining kidney is now doing the job of two kidneys and it could be the case that it is just not used to the amount of filtering its having to get through in a day. You can make the job easier for the kidney by drinking water regularly throughout the day. I do hope the pain you are having is nothing for you to be concerned about and at least the doctors are on the case checking it all out.
Its surprising how resiliant the body can be, my friend had 3 children with only one damaged kidney, admittedly the pregnancies did take their toll on the kidney and she was left with the kidney working at only 35%. She managed to live quite happily, working etc for quite a number of years like that but did eventually have a transplant and is now back at work and walking in the lake district at the weekends.
Keep your chin up and try to be positive. Good luck

Hello
Thank you all so much for your support...l am praying that it is just the right kidney getting used to working on it's own......and nothing more serious....
Again thank you...:)

Hi Tizana
Please try not to worry too much. I had to have my right kidney removed 5 years ago as I had cancer in that kidney. Luckily the operation was a complete success and the cancer hadn't spread. I too felt a variety of aches in my left kidney for some time after and had tests but all was clear. I now drink plenty of water daily (about 2-3 litres) and haven't had any problems since.
I know what you are going through and although you try not to worry you can't help it. The operation is traumatic and the thought of going through it again filled me too with dread, but as I have said the tests showed that all was ok.
I hope that your tests show that your right kidney can cope and that the discomfort you are experiencing is only it having extra work to do.
My thoughts go with you
Love and light

Hello Everyone
Great news :)...well l haven't seen the consultant.......but the scan showed that the right kidney is fine..a little enlarged but that is due to the effect of working for two.. I feeel so elated ....it's been an emotional day..
The renel bed on the left side looks ok too...the aches and pain that l'm experiencing is just the muscles and nerves etc knitting back together...
Lets hope this is a good sign for things to come..
Thank you for all your kind words and support, l will keep you updated on my recovery..:D
