Pain At Incision Site

[mm1315 16]

So i was expecting the pain of gas but not the incision pain. Thhey are pretty sore. Any suggestions or thoughts. Also, i know its prob irrational but i am really concerned about port flipping. Should i be? I am on day 2 after surgery. Thanks!

I'm no doctor so I have no medical expertise whatsoever, but being as you're only two days post op I'd say any incision pain is pretty normal if not expected. This is particularly true around your port because not only is it the biggest incision but the port beneath it was stitched into the abdominal wall. Anytime you injure muscle or cut flesh, it's going to hurt. I really wouldn't worry about a port flip.

Try a heating pad, it might help relieve whatever pain the the meds don't.

Hang in there, it will get better quickly

Hi there, hope you're doing a little better each day. I'm wearing my loosest clothing and making sure the waistband is not on one of the incision sites. I have been using a heating pad here and there but I also used ice packs one evening. And yesterday when I woke up day three my belly was much less distended -- still fat, LOL, but not full and tight from the surgery. I know all the walking is really helping me heal. Good luck -- let us know how you are today!

I am 4 weeks post and the pain at my incision was still there up until now. Pain has gone. So it's totally normal.
