Had A Back Fusion, Increased Pain In Back And Hip Area, Cystic Kidney. Done MRI. Is My Urethra Suffering?

I had a back fusion 2yrs ago, still having increased pain in my back and hip area. I had a Mri last week and theres more changes in my back, but my concern is they seen a cyst on my right kidney, I have had 4 uti's and blood and protein in my urine latley. But before knowing about the cyst, I have been having pains in that area. Iam out of work due to back surgery, my pcp wanted me to see a urologist but I can't afford that right now. Should I be concened about this. Also when I was 3 yrs old I had to have my uretha stretched and have had lots of kidney and uti's growing up.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can well understand your problem, see your old history has nothing to do with the present history, the kidney cyst being detected while you gone for the spine study and not the cyst was suspected prior to MRI, you do not have any symptoms related to cyst so you need not worry, it is not necessary to see the urologist unless you have some urological problems, stop worrying every thing will be alright have nice day.
