Pain on lower left side

[barbannn 4]

I am six weeks out and have had smooth sailing. No real issues what-so-ever. However, the last three days, I have a new "pain." I feel just fine when I wake up, but by the afternoon, I have a cramp on my lower, left side. It almost feels like the catch you get when you run....,

It actually feels kinda like I have been punched, not really like cramps you might get with a stomach virus or when you are on your period. It is actually sore to press or touch in the area - more like a "catch." Like it hurts to go from sitting to standing. I plan to call the doctor on Monday, but was wondering if any of you have had this? I have not had any real diet changes, but I have been sitting more these past few days. I am going to go back to mushier mushies, but was wondering if any of you had had this sort of issue?

Thanks for sharing.

I had soreness on my left side close to the large incision. I would especially be sore in the evening after working all day. What I ate didn't seem to affect it. It was more a muscle thing than a stomach thing. I think twobluecats had it, too. It does seem weird that it is starting 6 weeks out. Mine finally went away a few weeks ago after I had that huge "POP" one night. Hope yours feels better soon. It was great seeing you Tuesday!

Anna,

It was so good to see you too. Seems like it was soo long ago you were checking-in on me following surgery. I thought is was really weird too. It has not been bad yesterday or today, so maybe I just overdid it driving up and all. Friday, I was all set to call Brittany, now I feel fine, so maybe it was just a muscular thing because of sitting in the car so long. I was stiff as a tree because I am not comfortable driving in the snow. Ya'lls weather has just been crazy!

Hey Barb,

I have had some weird left incision pain too. I think it is scar tissue tugging and pulling. It was pretty common for me around 8-10 weeks post-op. I could call Brittany tomorrow though, just to be sure. FYI - I am having some weird pain under my incisions from my knee surgery. Kind of similar - so again, I think mine was scar tissue forming and then pulling.

Great to finally meet you (in REAL life) last week :001_smile:
