Ive recently been put on antibiotics for a urine infection. Ive notice that around mykidney area is really swallen. I m panicking more because my husband was diognosed with kidney cancer around this time last year. Could you put my mind at rest pls tonight, so i can get some sleep. I suffer with anxiety which doesn t help. I m terrified because of the swelling by my kidney, thank you
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor, thank you for your query. If you mean that your lumbar areas are swollen then I have to admit that this is not very common symptoms. Also, kidney cancer does not manifest on this way, and you probably feel just pain and discomfort in this area because of reinfection. I am sure it will be better when treatment is over. If not, then you need to do certain tests including ct scan to rule out some other kidney disorders. Wish you good health. Regards.
