Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had back pain on my right side for several years. I have had x-rays and nothing. It is a mild ache usually. My doctor just ignores it and the last time I told him he said the good news is it hasn t killed me yet. Should I worry about Kidney cancer?
I know your doctor might be just sarcastic in telling that. Don't worry all your problems will get solved. If you have so much ache, then get MRI spine done to rule out any spine pathology or else kindly take OTC painkillers for sometime. Therefore, stop worrying about it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
