Liver Discomfort

[missmary44 1]

I dont know if it is still normal or not. But ever since surgery I am very aware of my liver or in the region where my liver is. Here is where the TMI might come in for some. Dont know if i should call doctor or what.

Mostly during active moments. Like sex for example. It is very uncomfortable there (where my liver is). First of all I have to put pressure on that area even to function. I dont know if it is just bruised or should I be worried.

Hi MissMary,

I'm 3 days post-op and I can feel an uncomfortable feeling around my liver also. All of my other pains and symptoms have dulled besides the pain I am feeling in my liver area. In fact upon breathing in and out it feels as if a few of my ribs have been removed. I have been "guarding" that area too when I'm walking and getting ready to lay down flat until I can get still in the bed.

I'm not sure what your Dr. recommended regarding sex, but mine was 3-4 weeks or as tolerated. I see you are at a 3 1/2 week mark already. Maybe call your Dr's office in the morning to express your concern about this and to make sure it is normal.

Hang in there and speedy healing!

My doctor didnt say anything about sex but my nurse practitioner did laugh and said I should take the top position. lol

But I think she was just kidding. Im going to call tomorrow to see if its normal.
