Hello to everyone.It has taken me ages to work out how to write a message! I hope this is working!!Just to introduce myself ...... My name is Emma andI have a history of kidney problems due to a PUJ obstruction and a kidney that has never grown properly and functions 25%. I have had 2 pyeloplasties on my right kidney. My last operation was 2004. I seemed to be fine for the next 18months and then Feb '06 I was in hospital with severe loin pain. This happened again in August, and since then I have had loin pain which gradually became more frequent. Now I have about 5-7 days pain free, not even a niggle, in one month! Last week I saw a Doctor ( Anaethetist ) for pain control. My 'baffled' ( my words! ) Urology Consultant referred me to him to see if it could be my subcostal nerve that has been causing me pain. If so then I could have an injection to deaden the nerve completely. The Dr Pain Specialist found that my subcostal nerve was not causing the pain. So, I am now back to square one and wait to hear what my consultant will suggest next! At one point in December, he had mentioned the possibility of LPHS but never said any more about it. I am somewhat uptight because it was suggested that my kidney should be removed and then not removed!Anyhow. I wondered if there was anyone 'out there' who has had a history of kidney problems/operations? and now faced with the LPHS question!Glad I've joined the forum.Emma
