pain on left side

sweatinitout · June 3, 2010

I seem to have some pain on my left side. I am 7 weeks out. I am wondering if i maybe lifted something too heavy and maybe its a pulled muscle. Has anyone else had pain on left side?

I do have a tender pain on my side.. My surgeon said He had to cut thru my muscle , a very big one to do the procedure. This is where a lot of work is done . He said that it could take 3-4 months to completely heal.. I am also 7 weeks post op..So I don't think you pulled a muscle . It is trying to heal. walking will help. good luck

I am only 2 weeks post op but I have the left shoulder pain aswell. I am think it must be something they do in the procedure because the pain I have is more then gas pain.

Don't be afraid or feel awkward contacting your doctor. He/She should be able to answer your question and alleviate your concerns about residual pain. It is always better to check, they have done the procedure many many times and know what is common.

I have the left side pain too. At a week out I thought it was gone but then I moved wrong in the bed when I was trying to move my cat out of my way lol and I felt as though I "pulled" it again so it's been hurting again. Getting a bit better each day though. I think it is from them cutting through the muscle.
