3 week post op pain - advice please

[Photo925 100]

Hello,

Im three weeks post op. About one week after I was feeling great, no pain, no problems. A few days after that, I started getting a severe pain in my left side, not at the incision, but much deeper into my abdomen. I called the dr and they said this is normal because there are internal stitches. But now I'm a week and a half later, and I still can't move without feeling this sharp pain on my left side. Sometimes its just a twinge and others its more severe and I can't even move. I'm not sure if I should call the doctor again?? Or just deal with it.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

sometimes i feel "guilty" when i see posts like yours

reason is that i never had any issuess/pain PO

its great/helpful to hear from other peoples experiences

pain PO is common - but to have more pain after you have felt ok - i would check it out

"just deal with it" - I don't think sooooo

why should you suffer???

in my opinion i would definitely call your doc

at the end of the day always talk and listen to your DOC/NUT

they are the ones that should help you with "official" medical advice

good luck

I would ask to go in and see the doctor. Np, or RN.
