Sharp Pain! Ouch

[msvickee 212]

Since my surgery 6/28 I have not complained of severe pain just minimal not enough for pain meds. Just beginning an hour ago I got in my car to pick up my godson and a terrible pain hit. It is no where nears incisions. It's on my lower right side and only hurts badly when I am sitting straight up. It doesn't hurt if I am leaning back or standing straight up. It is a piercing pain like someone is pinching something on the inside of me in one spot. Arrrgghhh!!!!!

Do you have an appendix? That is located on the lower right, but the pain from it (oddly enough) is usually to the left....

I still have my appendix. This pain is only bad when I am sitting low

Have you ever been diagnosed with an Ovarian cyst?

I have right-sided pain like that a few days before my "time of the month". My cyst grows during TOM and then shrinks back down to nothing afterwards. I've been told it's not a medical problem that requires treatment, but I sure do hate the pain I get for those couple of days!

appendix, gallbladder, ovaries, endometriosis, ulcers? is the spot hot to touch or more warm than other areas? is it more painful after food? are you running a fever? a radiating pinch/cramp, etc... Call your doctor if it continues.

I would call your doctor to check...

Never diagnosed with cysts but the pain only happens when I sit low and bend but when i stand and recline I am fine. It feels like a knot and since Day 3 I felt the pain but it subsided each day. I will call the doc tomorrow his office was closed today and it's not a pain that I would run to the ER for. Tomorrow will be one week since surgery do I am praying that what i am experiencing are my insides healing from surgery. I have been able to pinpoint the pain to the right of my navel about 2 inches from it.

Def get checked out but my guess would be muscle spasm. For me, that was worse than the actual surgery! I say that only because it's pretty positional but not anything to take lightly. You never know it could be a laundry list of things..... Best of luck, praying for continual success and lots of future happiness!
