very strong pain in my right lower belly



Recommended Posts

It's near where the drain was... Kinda around my right hip but in the front. I'm 1wk postop today. I only feel ok when I'm up & walking or laying flat on my back. What could it be? Is it just gas? Could I be ovulating and the pain is just worse than it's ever been? When should I worry?

When I had that my doctor told me it was basically deep muscle strain combined with the internal stitching. Basically as long as you don't meet the other criteria for something more serious (like infection) it *should* go away on its own in a day or so. I took some of my remaining pain meds and took a nap to get rid of mine.

I had the same thing. Today is the first day it doesn't hurt (I'm 18 days post-op).

Sleeved 12/17/12 and enjoying the adventure!

Thank you both, I needed the relief of mind that I'm not dying. LOL

I think maybe I tried to do to much today. I spent the rest of the evening lying on the couch reading a book and I feel better now. Thanks so much for the reassurance.
