I had pain on the left like that also. My doc said it was muscular. It got better just had to go back on pain meds for a while. Good luck!

What you are going through is completely normal. Try using a heating pad or one of those peel and stick pads that warm up along with a support garment. If you are a woman, get a Spanx type garment that goes up high, as close to your breast area as possible. If you're a man, I'm sorry I don't know the equivalent.

I hope you feel better soon!

I had the exact same pain about the same time post surgery. I contacted my PA and she suggested that I use a heating pad or put a heating patch (pick up at Walgreens or Walmart) on the area that hurts and then wear my belly binder over the patch, the Patches last about eight hours. IMO this worked like a champ! Did this for about a day and a half. My best to you, I hope you feel better soon!
