Hello
Simple renal cysts are generally asymptomatic in nature and usually it only require follow up ultrasound.
You may need clinical evaluation and latest ultrasound of abdomen.
Renal cyst may cause pain if size increases or there is infection in the cyst.
It is important to correlate from earlier findings.
It is also important to evaluate musculoskeletal causes of pain.
Treatment depend upon findings.
Get well soon.
