My surgery was dec 16 and the pains on my left side did not start till last week (3 weeks out) then my lower left back started hurting as well.
Dr did cat scan said I have two little kidney stones that should pass but it will hurt like a big dog when they do!
Also my big incision where the camera went in is still pitted in so it has not released yet. Dr says that the pain to the left of that will stop when that releases (sounds like it literally pops loose) so it will hurt till that happens. He also said some people take up to 5 or 6 weeks before this happens.
So for now I use abdominal binder, heat, lots of water/cranberry juice, and of course pain meds.
This pain is horrible and I hope it goes away soon! I feel for you!
