Can PN meds cause liver damage?
I had some pretty severe pain last week in my back in the area of my left kidney. When I described it to several of my co-workers they "diagnosed" me with kidney stones. Anyway, saw my dr. who ordered a CT scan. Had that done, no kidney stones but it did come back indicating a possible mass in my left kidney and an enlarged liver. I don't drink, don't take alot of tylenol. I do take lyrica, tramadol and amytriptelyne. Does anyone know if these could be causing the enlarged kidney? If so, which one and will I have to quit taking it? I need these for pain, if one or more is the cause I don't know what I'll do....
I have an appt with the urologist in about 10 days so I guess I will find out more then...
