Slight pain not near an incision

[ciarsdublin 0]

Hi guys. I had a bypass on 28th March. I have virtually no pain left at any of my incision sites. On the incision on my right side I have had a large bruise since waking up from surgery. That doesn't hurt at all but the area about 4 inches below that a little to the right (no incisions) I have had a pain when going from lying to sitting position. It seems to be when gravity pulls everything to the left but is then fine once it settles again. I have spoken till the surgeon who thinks it's muscle related and said to keep an eye on it. Just wondering if anyone else experienced this? It feels like something moving around in me. There is no way I could sleep on my side yet with this. It is gradually easing but just wanted to see if I could put my mind at ease with similar experiences from anyone else. Thanks

Yes! I have the exact same situation going on! My surgery was the 27th of March. I feel a sharp pulling pain when I try to sleep on my side, so for 10 days I have been sleeping on my back. I have a bruise the size of a luncheon plate around my belly button. It is huge, dark, and gross!!! I think the pulling pain will just take time to go away. Best wishes!

Me too. I think it's just gravity, plus it's trying to heal in there.

Yes, it's just the muscle pulling from near the incision site. No worries.
