I have a question for you. I have 4th state CKD, along with MDS (just diagnosed. Informed yesterday that I have a complex cyst on my kidney too. I also have hip pain that has been diagnosed as rheumatoid arthritis, but not sure if it this or has something to do with the CKD. I am waiting for Mayo to confirm a visit for second opinion. Thank you for your comments.

Dave's hip pain was actually due to a hairline fracture on the iliac crest of his pelvis. There was lesion there. Diagnosed by a CT. Did a full body CT and found a kidney lesion. Biopsy on pelvic lesion evidence RCC. Had radiation to pelvic lesion. Now attacking RCC with chemo/immunotherapy. Have no idea if CKD could aggravate rheumatoid arthritis, but worth asking the doctor. Thanks for your reply to us. Stay strong!
