    Stubsy,

    I just wanted to wish some definitive answers. Unfortunately, I haven't experienced anything similar to your experience and in mot a medical professional so I have nothing else to contribute. Hopefully others will jump in with some possible ideas.

    Stubsy, my husband has recently been experiencing pain in a similar area and that has turned out to be from a kidney stone stuck in his ureter.  However, I would have thought anything such as kidney or gallstones, or anything that shouldn't be there for that matter, would have been seen on the CT scan.  They may be right with feeling it's "muscular".  Good luck with the MRI results.

      Thank you for your reply. I have no gall bladder either. It's just a strange one as I had pain on my right side and when they found a tumour on my left kidney which I had no pain with. Always the right side. The pain went away after op. This pain is different. I'm hoping it's just nerve issue. I hope your husband has no further problems smile
