I've been told I have IgA Nephropathy. The Doctor says 'it not a big thing' i.e it's nothing to worry about. And he says 'we'll monitor it.'
The problem for me is that I get flank/loin pain, i.e if I walk/stand too long, I get a numb area around my side and/or back. If I cough, I get pain near my upper right rib [or not too far from it], it feels like I've been punched.
The Doctor says it has nothing to do with IgA Nephropathy. Is he right?
Is their any type of work and/or exercise I should avoid?
I also visit the toilet to pass a stool about 4, 5, 6 or 7 times a day. Could this be related?
Thanks in advance.
