I had a robotic surgery to correct my UPJ in August. My urologist said that I had a very unique case, which my obstruction covered 75% of my right kidney. My kidney was functioning about 30% so they decided to keep my kidney and try to correct the issues instead of removing it. The surgery was the worst, they did everything right but I was in so much pain. They removed some of my urethra that was affected by the obstruction, they cut me open about 7 to 8 times because my kidney was about an inch away than where it was supposed to be and they went through blood vessels, muscles and around tendons. I was out of work for about two months, I thought everything was good, they removed the stent in September, but today about 30 minutes ago my right side is in so much pain. I didn’t have any pain whatsoever until today. I’m waiting for my doctor to call me back, but I barely drink once in a blue moon, I eat healthy, exercise, I only drink water and now it seems like the surgery didn’t work. Has anybody else had this issue? Any suggestions? Because I seriously can’t keep living in so much pain.

Hello, Phil413. Thank you for posting.
Hopefully, someone from the community can share a similar experience. It's good you called the doctor. This may be something temporary, like an infection, that can be treated. We hope you will feel better soon and get some answers.
