Help/ right side pain

[drodriguez1 6]

I had surgery 6 days ago and have an annoying sharp pain on my right side. It hurts when I sit, stand breath... I have to be moving constantly to relieve pain but my body is tired from lack of sleep since the surgery. I struggle because no position is comfortable for me at bed time. Anyone experience this?

I don't know if you are having the same issue that I did. I had a back side pain too about 4-5 days in. I panicked and thought it was kidney stones. But, after talking with my doctor and getting up and moving around more I realized it was from laying down so much. Also, we tend to bend weird and not move as much because your stomach is sore now. Try moving around more or propping yourself up more instead of laying down in the same position and it should go away. Good luck!

Thanks for the feedback!

This pain for me was caused from where they took a biopsy of my liver.

Ice, Ice, Ice!! I was having weird left sided pain and my surgeon said to ice it for 20 mins then rest for 20 mins - repeat. It worked wonders the next day the pain was completely gone.

They move a lot of things around in there when they do surgery and sometimes the scope they use can bruise things. Try the ice, you will be amazed at how better it feels.

I had left side pain but it was pretty bad starting day 5. After another 5 days it went away!

However I would check in with your surgeon
