Congenital UPJ obstruction

Posted , 1 user is following.

hey everyone (25,F).

so back in SEPT 2019 I started to have right sided back pain behind my ribcage, I pushed it off because I thought it would go away. OCT came and i went to an Urgent Care just to get a faster response & a CT and Ultrasound were done that came back my gallbladder needed to be removed but that my R kidney was very enlarged. Shortly after I was born I did have surgery on the same kidney due to an obstruction. I had my gallbladder removed in NOV & followed up with a nephrologist and urologist in DEC. Had a Mag3 scan done around beginning of DEC my kidney function is good R(55), left (45) ish.Saw dr in march 2020 after long wait due to ins, my dr is confident that my obstruction is congenital and okay as ny kidney function is good. However i am still having back pain, my R side feels bloated or swollen ish with ache pains that come & go. I feel like I am going crazy. He said he could look with a camera & if the UPJ was actually causinh problems he would have to do surg but that its not a rush thing & with the coronavirus im in limbo! Has anyone else with a cong UPJ felt like this? Was everything okay? just freaking over here lol
