Pain after a cancer kidney removal

My husband had his kidney removed due to cancer 6 months ago and has been getting a burning pain that seems to be getting worse. He has seen his GP who said it’s a water infection but he’s not had a water infection for 6 months! Trying to get hold of his oncologist but wanted a little re assurance on here that it has happened to others and is not cancer coming back.. Thanks for reading

  • Hi, I had my kidney removed 4 weeks ago and have a sickly sore pain in my stomach sometimes if I bend over slight it’s like a sharp pain. My consultant says it takes your insides 6 months too go back to normal. My back has Bern sore for the past 4 days too just trying to drink more water. I hope your husband gets some help. X

  • Hi there

    Sorry to hear you had a kidney op a few weeks ago and feeling some pains and discomfort. As your consultant has said it takes time for the body to heal and recover from surgery and it isn't unusual to feel some strange sensations and niggles along the way.

    It is important to look after yourself as best you can and try not to over do it and avoid movements that cause you pain for a little longer.

    I hope the back pain is improving now but if this worsens or you notice any other symptoms do let your doctor know, just to rule out an infection.

    Wishing you all the best with your recovery.

    Take care

    Naomi
