Sharp Pain

[rybecca20 160]

As anyone had a very sharp pain on the left side of their stomach? Mine is very sharp and when I move. I am 10 days out.

I am two weeks out and still sometimes get sharp pains.It almost feels like the nerves are coming back in and around my incisions but I get pain espcially do wnby my lower ribs on the left side. I figure it is part of the healing process. But call your doctor tomorrow to be sure and to ease your mind. It would be worth it if you are really concerned.

I had them horribly until 5 weeks, then they just disappeared suddenly.

I started having a sharp pain on my left side (up high, just below my breast) about 10 days post op. I could breathe, no fever, no other pain. It almost felt like a muscle cramp.

I started to panic but the MD on call said I was fine, may have pulled something, and not to worry unless I started feeling nauseous or developed a fever. I didn't.

A few days later was my 2 week post op checkup. Surgeon said it was fine, nothing to worry about. Even though the incision was a few inches away, he said that they do sometimes cut internally at angles. But he wasn't worried.

The pain resolved itself within 2 weeks. No worries. I think it was all part of the healing process.

I had the same pain, in the lower left side. It's where the trocar was inserted during surgery. Also, the nurse explained that the nerve endings are waking up which is another reason for the sharp pain. My pain was awful, I couldn't get out of bed with out help and God forbid I coughed or sneezed! At about 4 weeks the pain was totally gone.

I had it as well and my doctor explained it as the mesh they used to repair the muscle in that area. He told me it could last up to 8 weeks. It slowly but surely gets better. I think mine was gone completely by week 3.

I am having the same issue. MD says it is normal. As others said it is where the trocar was placed. I am wearing an abdominal binder and it is really helping with he pain.

I had the same sharp pain but only mine was on the right side. But sometimes I have very sharp pain in my pelvic area. Has anyone experienced this?
