I recently had an open partial nephrectomy of my right kidney. It has been almost 3 months now and i am still having alot of pain in that area. My urologist said the pain should not be there now and wont believe me. What should i do and how else other than ibuprofin and tylenol can i help the pain?
With an open partial there could have been entrapment of your intercostal nerve causing that pain.  Usually it can take up to 6 months for it to go away.  Lyrics is a medicine that works well for nerve pain.  You may also have a bulge in your side where the incision is. Please rate 5 Stars! I strive to provide you the best answer to your questions.
