What's Causing Twitching Near The Left Kidney Area 2 Yrs After Green Light Laser Procedure For An Enlarged Prostate?
I am 64 year old mail. 2 years ago I had a green light laser procedure for an enlarged prostate. I still have some urine retention, which my doctor said is normal, but have noticed the past 3 days a twitching near my left kidney area. There is no pain, but wonder what is causing it

Thank you for asking!
Age of 64 has its geriatric limitations. Twitching is quite a vague term to explain whats going on.A procedure 2 years back does not look like to be connected here any how.Try some acetaminophen and skeletal muscle relaxants like skelaxins or tizanidines and if the symptoms persist seek the nearby physician and let them sort out after detailed history and physical examination.
Take care
