In early january I had pain in my right testicle that would come and go. I got an ultrasound which found some small head cysts? In my left testicle.


The doctor said take advil. I did and the pain was noticed less often.

About a week after the initial pain, I started feeling a tingle in my pubic region, on the right side. Then the pain went to just inside my right hip.

Again saw a doctor. He said hes not too concerned, but if it gets worse, could be my appendix.


So the pain didnt go away and I went to emergency. They did blood and urine and found nothing (no high temps).

At this time I started feeling other symptoms; tired, weak, nausea, frequent urination (this problem I had for a while), ear noises, feeling like I wasnt in my body. My family doctor said its probably anxiety, but send me for an ultrasound for the urination problem. I also noticed at this time that some of my symptoms matched those of kidney cancer. I was worried.


At the ultrasound she spent alot of time at the left kidney. I knew something was there. A tough long week later, I got the results. My left kidney had a 2.7 x 2.4 x 1.5 cm parapelivc cyst in the upper pole, 1.9 x 1 x 1.6 cm mildly complex cyst in the lower pole, and a 3.5 x 3.4 x 3 cm prominent isoechoic area in the left kidney, a possible solid mass.


They said I need a ct scan and set up an appointment. I was sure it was cancer. The ct scan (contrast/no contrast, with triphasic imaging of the left kidney) found nothing, and the report didnt even mention the cysts. The us report says the mass could be a dromedary hump (normal variant). My doctor said us sometimes picks thing up that arent there and the ct is far superior

i still feel pain through my abdomen, mostly the right side, but sometimes the left. I was worried that the results and that the ct scan was wrong so I had another us ultrasound last week. Waiting for the results

my questions; can the ct missed the cysts/lesion? Is the ultrasound accurate? Can a dromendary hump be possible, and are they that big? Is a mildy complex cyst something to worry about?


I do have an anxiety problem, but this is killing me. I cant take not knowing and questioning the results.

Btw, I am a 23 year old male, I thing a little young to worry about these things. Also had an x-ray, no stones were ever found
