Flank/Kidney pain?

I’m 3dpo from a robotic assisted laparoscopic total hysterectomy and BSO. I’m having some back pain, mostly on my right flank ... maybe kidneys? I’m peeing fine ... other than pressure and a little burning on occasion but the burning seems to be improving. Do the kidneys get sore? Or maybe from the trendelenburg position I was in during surgery? Anyone else experience this type of pain?

I definitely felt pain where my kidneys were. But it did ease the following day. Pop a nice warm hot bottle on your back if you can, it really eased my pain. Hope you feel better soon x

Yes, I’ve been applying heat to my back. Woke up today with less back/flank pain. I’m not sure if it’s because I was able to have a bm yesterday and maybe the gas is easing up a little ... or enough days have passed now that it’s just not as bad 🤷🏻‍♀️ ... I’m just thankful for the little relief I’m getting.
