7 Days Post Op ...my Left Side Is Extreme Pain If I Move

I go for my follow up tomm. But wanted to know if anyone had the same. I still can't get up or sit down without pain. And I can not eat all the liquids suggested .

Day 6 or 7 was my worst days, fortunately better days were right around the corner. I still cannot sleep reaaly comfortably on my left side. I called the doc also and was told it was just gas pains.

The side with the port did hurt the longest. Not sure if I would call it extreme pain though. I do have a pretty high pain tolerance though and only used tylenol after leaving the hospital.

I had horrible pain when I tried to sit up or move after my surgery. It is how they secured my port according to the surgeon. It should go away in a few days, however still now if I strain myself, or am dehydrated in any way I will get a charlie horse in that area of my abdomen. I don't know if this is common but it is like when you get one in your calf due to dehydration or needing potassium. I have found up the Water intake.. get some potassium down.. and I apply a heating pad to make it feel better.

I am finally pain free from the surgery. It took like a month or longer. I feel like did before surgery. I guess it takes time
