Pain at lower left abdomen

[Rexcom 39]

I've had a fairly easy recovery, however, three weeks post-op, I'm having pain at the lower left abdomen. Anyone else experience this?

I’m also having the same pain and I’m in my 3rd week. People say gas but I’m having a hard time believing there is still gasses from surgery 3 weeks out. Maybe the muscle is healing there?

does it hurt when you eat or drink? ask that if it is not when was the last time you had a BM? and lastly you do have internal stiches as well that are healing, when I was three weeks out I experienced something similar for a few days but it was healing. if it is too painful or you have a lot of concerns I always say best to call the doctor.

It's better now....I'm guessing it's scar tissue healing. No issues with eating and BMs...all good there.

The large incision was heavy and painful, but started to subside. After a rather long day of shopping, the pain extended from the incision to my left side and was excruciating. I am now 13 days out. I talked to the on call surgeon, who ascertained that there was no infection, and thought I may have overdone it, and managed to injur the inside stitching a bit. He wasn't concerned and told me to take it easy and use pain relievers. Tylenol works. But when it wears off, lordy!

The big incision stitch is what caused me pain too. Then one day I felt it go “POP” (which is a weird-ass feeling) and all was well.

Lol! Pop? What do you think it was? The surgeon I spoke with told me to put a hot pad on it to help the pain.

How long did it go on for before it popped?
