Hi and welcome to HCM,thank you for your query.
If you meand that your lumbar areas are swollen then i have to admit that this is not very common symptoms. Also, kidney cancer does not manifest on this way and you probably feel just pain and discomfort in this area because of uroinfection. I am sure it will be better when treatment is over. If not,then you need to do certain tests including ct scan to rule out some other kidney disorders.
Wish you good health. Regards.
