I was a rare case. I just had my left kidney removed. I was sent home and 3 days later the stump from the ureter was leaking into a sac where my kidney was stood. I think they called it a suroma. The Drs drained 2 liters of urine out of me. The dr had to do a c section on me to manually fix the leaky stump. I'm now dealing with post op from kidney and c section. When does this stop? The kidney was removed 3 weeks ago. I am still in pain with that and I feel a chunk is missing on my left side. It's a feeling I can't describe. Will this go back to normal? I'm only 41 and I feel terrible. I am on tramadal 2-3 times a day still for pain. Is this normal?
