Guest guest Posted December 8, 1999 Report Share Posted December 8, 1999 Hi Sherry, Sorry I am so slow getting back to you.I really apreciate the info about the plugs.It sounded like it was fairly easy,I still have to think about it.My left side of my face and head and including my eye are all radiation damaged very bad and to have someone touch it is horrible,so I will think on that for awhil.It does sound better to me than having my eye sewed up though...Oh the decisions we have to make huh...I did get the radiation damaged from GK in 91 at Mayo Clinic. Thanks,Lana in Mineesota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 12, 1999 Report Share Posted December 12, 1999 Hi there June My left eye is open all the time. I have no weights etc etc. I use Lacralube once or twice a day. I can't see to well from this eye so it doesn't bother my vision. I have virtually no problems at all, all day. Once every year or so I get a small infection, but other wise its great. And if the manufactures of Lacralube are reading this then I can endorse their product for a small 6 figure annual fee. He he he from Me Marcus Re: Pain >From: ManelyCat@... > >Hmmm...

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2002 Report Share Posted January 28, 2002 Unless you have mentioned it to your medics already, it is always best to get these things checked out. It could be the old bone of contention 'flank pain' that some of us in this group complain of, myself included. I would describe the pain as dull on a good day, and pulsating on a bad day, or when I have fallen sick, or have over exerted myself. If it is annoying you get it checked for peace of mind. Best wishes pain Shoul I be overly worried about constant pain in my left kidney. The pain (dull ache really) is there all the time but is more annoying than anything else.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2002 Report Share Posted January 28, 2002 My seven yr old also complains of pains, never major pains, just my tummy hurts a little. He always points to the high area of his stomach, usually more towards his right side. As a parent I always ask the normal questions, " Do you need to go to the bathroom, are you hungry, are you to full " , etc. Could this the same type of pain you describe? Where are the pains you feel located? Are they high, just under or behind the rib cage area? Or are they only on the side? Hunter's pains seem to split between his high stomach area, and one or the other of his sides.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2002 Report Share Posted January 28, 2002 My pains are more in the back area right under the rib cage. Nothing really helps me with my back pain except ibuprofen, but as you may know, taking too much may cause damage to your kidneys. So, I would not recommend that. I only take it every once in a while when it is really bad. My neph. Hasn't been much help with this because he tells me that igan does not cause back pain, but I have read differently on other sites, and I know my body.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2002 Report Share Posted January 28, 2002 You know, it's funny, but I've had pain in that exact same area for years (upper right abdomen, just under and behind the rib cage). They keep telling me it has nothing to do with IgAN though. Pierre pain > > > > Shoul I be overly worried about constant pain in my left kidney.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2002 Report Share Posted January 28, 2002 To be realistic, despite what can be read here and there, it's still an open question as to whether IgAN itself can cause flank or back pain. One theory is that the muscles around the kidneys may be the source of the pain, or the kidney may be pushing up and rubbing more against the tissues above it. As I've said before, what I used to think was recurring flank pain behind my right kidney turned out to be gallstones. Pierre RE: pain > My pains are more in the back area right under the rib cage.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2002 Report Share Posted January 28, 2002 Hi The 'flank pain' to which I have referred to below, is on my right side always, and more toward the lower back than toward the stomach. In fact it is probably just where the kidney sits in truth, but you can get what is known in the profession as 'referred pain', so Hunter may well have flank pain. I never ignore pain, it is there for a reason, telling us something is not right. In a child it is difficult to actually get them to explain properly isn't it (recent episode with my nephew age 4 complaining of hurting in his head makes me think this!). If your at all concerned always best to get the medics to take a look. Hope Hunter is soon pain free. Best wishes pain > > Shoul I be overly worried about constant pain in my left kidney.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 , I have the same pain, all the time. Now I do have Pulmonary Hypertension ( heart trouble) so it could be that too, but mine never started till I had my OLB. But now its in both lungs,. I figure its just the disease.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Hi , I had the same kind of pain. I was sent to a cardio man and it was confirmed what I had was acid-reflux. Both of these conditiond need to be seen by a dr. The dr need to check out your heart as a lot of lung problems cause heart problems. A HP 6/06 TN tootiebess wrote: Hi my new friends. I have a question for u. I had surgery for this 1 year ago next month. Ever since then I have been having pain in my upper abd., where my old long tits lies. lol Yesterday a.m. I got up after the best sleep I have had in months and it was back but it brought something with it. Now it is going around to my back and it hurts so bad that I can't lie down to sleep. This pain that I am describing in the front is like someone is wrapping a rubber band around my insides, real tight feeling. can anyone tell me if they have this and what to do for it.God bless u all, Food fight?
