Post op 5 days - pain

[jeepgirl4 1]

Hi everyone

Had surgery on may 4th and had to stay 2 nights. I been walking periodically but I get a burning pain on the left side. Anyone else have this and if so, how long does it last. I felt good yesterday and woke up today with pain again.

I had several incision points. There was one located on my lower left side that was where the biggest knots appeared. This was tender for a very long time. It took almost a year and a half until the knots disappeared.

Some pain is normal and some is not. If it was upper left shoulder pain that could be a problem. Also chest pain with rapid heartbeats and/or dizziness could be a problem. If you are experiencing uncontrolled or increased abdomen pain that could also be a problem. Check your hospital discharge instructions and see if it meets the criteria for when to contact your surgeon's office.

If it’s near the incision next to your belly button, it very common. Apparently there is a deep stitch in there and I think the surgeon also pulled the extra stomach out there. I only know these things from posts here, but I intend to ask my surgeon on Monday too.
