Anyone had lingering pain in the back around the kidneys at 4-5 months post op?

I've been having pain here and there since newly post op. First it was a cramping pain along with pain in kidney area. My liver function was high, but that is back to normal now. They were giving me vicodin for the post op pain and the ER doc. said that was causing some of the pain so he put me on percocet. (that was at about 1 month post op) For the past week or two I have been either having cramping pain or high mid back pain or incredable hip pain. The pain in my hips feels like I have been riding a bike for 8 hours. I figure the cramping is probably withdrawl since I'm trying to get off of the percocet because I've been on it for so long. I am guessing that the hip pain is from my weight being redistributed.Since I'm down 70lbs. But the high mid back pain has got me worried. I went to the doctor yesterday and he did a urine on me. Said I don't have a kidney infection. Hurts more on the left side than the right. It's a burning(like a burning back ache but not on the spine)ache. Anyone got a clue? Also, anyone else get dependant on the pain killers and how did you get off of them?
