Can Hyper Sensitivity To Pain Killers Be A Sign Of Kidney Problem?
I have been diagnosed with having 2 uteruses (didelphys) after having my 2nd c section. I was told I need to have an MRI of my kidneys done to check for abnormalities. I have not had this done yet as my copay for MRIs is extremely high. I have always been super sensitive to pain medication, I was given 5mg percocets after my wisdom teeth were removed and I was knocked out for hours (I am over 250 lbs). I am curious if my hyper-sensitivity to pain medication is due to possibly having only one kidney or some other kidney abnormality? Is there any other way to know how many kidneys I have that is less costly than an MRI?

you can do ultrasound of abdomen. also DMSA scan can give you where are your kidneys. there is no correlation with percocet and kidney.
