My husband had his right kidney removed 3 1/2 weeks ago due to a 7 centimeter cancer tumor. His recovery at hospital was amazing and he was released with-in 3 days after surgery. He is now having constant pain in his lower left back.
Is this normal? Is it because of the 8 shots he received in his lower back prior to surgery? Is it because his left kidney has to work harder than it is accustomed to? Is because areas inside his body are now shifting and settling?
He is a large man and has had lower back pains for a long time and usually is adjusted by his chiropractor, which obviously is not an option now. I have been telling him that it is part of his recovery process, but the truth is I made that up.
