Hello,
I know each person is different & maybe even your doctors might do things a little different, but I have always let my doctors know what was going on if I had any pains, aches or whatever it may be.
I would hate for it to effect a kidney if they went to transplant me, especially after all that time & work that goes into a transplant.....
example: The last few months I had been having really bad stomach issues to where I was in the ER several times feeling like I was going to die. Here I had ulcers so I was very glad I went to the doctor before things got worse.
Unless it has been something life threatening they have always kept me on the transplant list! Even when I was pregnant I was still accumulating time, I was just on hold till my son was born.
Good Luck
Hopefully your pains are nothing serious
