Guest guest Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Stupid questions are only the ones that aren't asked! In my case my " Flank Pain " was on the right side just below my ribcage. When asked by Drs. to point to it they always responded, " Oh, your kidney " . (In my case it radiated down to my right Testicle but you probably won't need to worry about that! ;>) I blamed it on PA and still do because it resolved itself along with all my symptoms one day last April and will start to re-emerge if I don't watch my NA, as Dr. Grim says, " Out salting the Spiro " . (This is happening quite a lot recently as I recover from Oral Surgery!) I started paying attention to this when I noticed many comments of, " The best part of the adrenalectomy was that it got rid of my Flank Pain " from people that had the operation. I was happy to skip the operation and think I proved that adrenalectomy and meds produce the same results! Hope this helps, I didn't mean to ramble on! - 64 yo morb. ob. male - 12mm X 13mm rt. a.adnoma with previous rt. flank & testicle pain. I have decided against an adrenalectomy at this time since Meds. are working so well. Current BP being watched after Oral Surgery and associated dietary changes.
