Incisions pain

[nsunga 0]

I'm day 5 post-op and the big incision where they removed my stomach is still in a massive amount of pain. When I walk it's the worst feeling ever. Did anyone else have this problem?

I found that when I was in the first week it wasn't so much incision pain as I originally thought but rather pain on my left side between incisions. This is where the "heavy lifting" was done in surgery, so internal recovery is often hardest in that spot.

I'm 10 days post-op, and the big incision still is sore but getting better everyday. To get in and out of bed was the worse. I'm off the prescription pain medication but take Tylenol and that helps. It does get better.

I'm 20 days out and still have pain on my left side. I notice that if I don't have on the binder it's worse, I have to hold my stomach so it won't hurt. The pain feels like soreness but tearing. Is this normal. Or should I be worried??

So I only have incision pain, my stitch hurts a lot but if I were you I'd really consult with my doctor. Idk if that's normal and non of us here are doctors but I would ask just to be on the safe side

I am 6 days post op, and I have pain in the largest incision area which is on my right side about 6 inches below my breast. It hurts when I get up from sitting mostly. And bending over. I think its normal, but it does worry me as well sometimes, when the pain is stinging or like tearing. The pain is well below the incision surface.
