saliyna94 1 Posted December 23, 2013 I usually sleep pretty good throughout the night, but when I woke up this morning I felt a sharp pain on my right side. It comes and goes but hurts occasionally. I am 7 days post op. what does this mean. Should I go to the doctors? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gamergirl 4,610 Posted December 23, 2013 I think any sharp pain is definitely worth looking into, just to ease your mind. Given the holiday etc., don't delay placing a call to the nurse, just to be cautious. I wouldn't worry because I think it could well be gas so I'd start with Gas-x, and a heating pad on the location of the pain and while you wait for them to return your call.

A.c. Nelums 11 Posted December 26, 2013 I am having pain, all day, where my drainage tube is. It's a little swollen and has a odor. I'm worried it might be infected. But I am going to see my doctor tomorrow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChunkyMonkey 13 Posted December 26, 2013 The odor is not a good sign. Definitely go see your doctor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
