Could Kidney Removal Due To Cancerous Tumour Or Bulging Discs Cause Drag In The Left Side Of The Body?
Hi I have a drag in the left side of my body, its not a pain but it is very uncomerfortable. I have been diagnosed with bulging discs and I wondered if this is causing the drag. I also have had my left kindney removed with a cancerous tumour and I wonder if this has any bearing on it?

Hai,
Removed left kidney from the body will not alter your position or drag you on the other side.because anatomically they are positioned.
your disc bulging may cause you discomfort in the back. because when the disc bulge it will alter the aligment of back bone (vertebrae) from its original position. so it may be felt like drag because of muscle pull or compression to lumbar nerve.
thank you
hope i answered your query.
