Pain

[Mgenovesejr 11]

Hey Everyone,

I am now 8 days post op and for some reason woke up today and am having some pain below my stomach below one of my incision sites. It's pretty intense. I took pain meds but it's still there. Do you guys know how long pain lasts typically?

I would call your surgeon's office. I think you should expect pain to decrease not increase over time. I don't think I had pain meds after the first few days...

It's probably nothing, but better safe than sorry!

I would call your surgeons office to check but I had pain for a good 2 weeks at my large incision site. It was not all the time it was more like when I moved the wrong way or bent too far over. When I called to ask the Dr about it the nurse said I was either pulling on a stich inside or I pulled a muscle but if the pain did not go away in a couple days to call back and by the next day it was almost gone. She said I could alternate hot and cold packs on it and that seemed to help. I don't know if this is the same as you but I would call the Dr. just to be on the safe side.
