There will also be low back pain, which is generally due to the gradual enlargement of the tumor, which then involves the renal capsule, and also compresses the peripheral nerves and internal tissues. The pain is concentrated in the waist and abdomen. The general pain is acupuncture and dull pain. Occasionally, the blood clot will be blocked after being discharged through the ureter, and then cause severe colic.
