Almost 3 weeks post op sudden pain.



Recommended Posts

About two hours ago I started feeling a dull throbbing pain below my big incision. I'm not sure if something is wrong or if it's just soreness from trying clean my apartment. Does this warrant a hospital visit, or should I just wait until I can make an appointment with my PCP since my surgeon is 200 miles away?

Can't you call your surgeon? I'm sure someone is on-call and can answer a question if you are really concerned.

I'm searching through my stuff for the on call number, but only finding the office staff info. I'll keep looking.

They said it's nothing to worry about, that it's totally normal, but goddamn it hurts.

That happened to me as well today. I did too much i went to the grocery store for a long time. Walked lots. It was a pain id never have felt before. I got home and relaxed and now its better.

We all were doing too much..just because we feel better outside we forget its still healing inside..I ran errands and wore myself out ..came home took some liquids, shower n propped my feet up and felt better instantly....I think that pain was a wake up to gradually get back to yourself but gradually????..hope you feel bweter soon..

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
