Sharp pain in left kidney, periodically. i'm 29, had a partial nephrectomy at 6 months old, several surgeries in its regard between then and 13 months old. almost 30 years later and now getting pain in that area.. intense pain. rest or see a doctor?

Both rest and seeing your doc. Keep a log of symptoms, what seems to trigger them, what is helping alleviating pain. While the source for the pain seems to be pointing towards the remaining kidney other possible origins cannot be ruled out. Starting with the doc that has access to your medical history will be best, stay well hydrated.
