Long wait to see doctor
About 12 years ago I was told I have polycystic kidneys. Nothing was said about doing anything about it cheap office furniture.
In April 2013 I began having pain in my sides and back. I told a surgeon about it as I was having a discussion about a colonoscopy. He said he learned he had kidney cancer when he had similar pain, so scheduled me to have ultrasound on my kidneys. Last week I got the results and learned I have a kidney stone in the right kidney and a large 4cm cyst in the left one. Of course, I have smaller cysts as well. I now have an appointment on August 6th with a nephrologist. I've tried, but can't get in sooner. In the meantime I'm having fairly strong pain every day. I have some pain medication left over from having surgery last December and am taking that to get some relief Bridal makeup course.
I'm 61 years old. My father had kidney problems most of his life and died of kidney cancer. Does it seem strange to those who have dealt with kidney stones and/or cysts to be asked to wait over a month when the pain is almost constant? When I asked today if I could see the specialist any sooner, I was told I couldn't since I'm a new patient - but if the pain was too severe I could go to the ER and the specialist could then tell them what to do. For what it matters I also have diabetes and angina Claire Hsu.
