I'm 4 days post op . There is one incision site that is giving me TERRIBLE pain. If I give any gravity to it at all, it hurts, burns, and feels like its ripping open. I just noticed that it isnt an actual incision spot, but right next to one. Has anyone experienced this before???:biggrin2:

I can't say exactly but I did get some unusual pains near certain incisions. It is likely that there's inflamation in the area. Please don't panic and give your surgeon a call asap. Perhaps he/she should have a look. I can relate to how you feel but I'm sure you'll be okay and this will pass just hang in. I'm sure others will advise you as well. Let us know how it goes.

Is there drainage? I did have some pain near my incisions and I still have a pulling feeling near my side ones. Do you have a fever? Is the area hot where it hurts? I would call your doctor in the morning.

No fever and the area isn't warm to the touch. If I'm sitting still, no pain. If I try to walk or turn over it feels like I'm either being ripped apart or burned with a torch. I will call my doc ASAP but of course you all have been my greatest resource! Thank you all.

I had this exact feeling on my left side sort of between 2 incisions. I had to hold my belly while I walked or it felt like I would rip apart if I let it go. But no worries, it went away in a few days. I just woke up one day and it was gone.

I went to the doctor today. He said all my incisions are healing wonderfully. He said the burning sensation and pain is nerve endings. I'm hoping this will pass soon. He also gave me oxycodone to help with the pain. It seems to help a little better than loratab. Of course I'm only taking it when I absolutley have to:)

I'm so glad to hear that your ok. . the nerve endings do hurt ALOT when they are disturbed and let me tell you our nerve endings have been injuried. . . keep taking your lortabs as needed and walk, walk, walk. . . keep us posted. . . sorry i couldn't help

I had the same experience, but on the right side. I actually screamed out a couple of times when I tried to get out of bed. Sorry that you are experiencing it, but it does pass. Try pressing a pillow to your stomach when you get up or need to move - it helped me a lot. Were you given any pain meds? Don't be afraid to use them. Feel better soon.

Glad to hear you saw the doctor about it. That makes sense now that I know it's nerve endings since I remember it being such a sharp, burning and shocking sensation. Enjoy the meds...ha ha!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
