In July of 2005, I had a CT Scan (I don’t remember which doctor, there were so many of them). The results, however, were normal.
In November of 2005, while seeing my Chiropractor for relief from this hellish flank pain, he
suggested I see a Urologist to ensure the pain wasn’t a symptom of a deeper, more serious ailment, and referred me to one. The urologist ordered a repeat CT scan (again these tests), an ultrasound and a freaking cystoscopy. During the ultrasound, the tech, upon hitting on my left, lowest ribs (this will be VERY important later on) to check my kidneys, found a 5-6 mm lesion on my left kidney (lateral), along the mid pole region. It should be noted here that my response was: left flank pain + lesion on kidney at the exact spot of the flank pain= Yay! I’m cured…Not so fast.
The Urologist ran blood/urine work, etc. and everything came back normal, including the CT scan and the freaking cystoscopy. His professional opinion was that lesions are common and there is no way the lesion on my kidney could be the source of my pain. Needless to say, I didn’t believe him, so I went to another Urologist. He concurred with the first.
STAY TUNED FOR MORE…..

I haven’t been up to much today. Such is life. My life’s been basically dull today, but that’s how it is.
