Runners stitch?

[ColoradoCanuck 70]

I'm 15 days post op, on my week 3 diet of pureed foods, though I'm gradually introducing small amounts of texture too.

Twice since being home I've had a brief but sharp pain on my right side. I've heard of this as "runners stitch" where not syncing your breathing with your steps can hit your liver, and I'm wondering if that's what this is? I walked 5000 steps today in my neighborhood and it flared up again.

I'm certainly not running by any stretch of the imagination but curious if it's a similar thing. I'll mention it at my follow-up appointment on Friday.

I had the same situation with one of my stitching area on the right side. My surgeon said it was that I just pulled a little bit of scar tissue that was healing underneath and that I should take it easy on the walking and lifting. Honestly shouldn’t be a big deal unless you are super active with the walking every day or ripped the cut open since you need time to heal. Take it easy and yes mention it to the doctor on your follow up.
