Get a fresh xray done as we have seen patients who have developed foreign body granuloma after 18-20 years of injury

i have had a kidney partial removal surgery 8 yrs ago, and i have a very large horizontal scar on my right side, about maybe 6~8 inches. Since then, i often get these pins, needles sensation on that scar, and i get very nervous about these sporadic "pains-sensations". I go for yearly CAT scan for check up, last one was 9 months ago. Am i paranoid? These sensations can be caused by emotional thoughts? or by extreme cold temperatures? or by pulling muscles?
