Sharp pinching pain (left side)

[Nedavsg 1]

Hey gang,

I started having some relatively sharp/stabbing pinch like pain in my stomach... more to the left of my stomach under/below my rib cage Yesterday. I had my surgery December 16th 2019 and haven’t had this pain since a couple of weeks after surgery...

do you think I should worry? Maybe I picked up my 35 pound daughter too much? Or ate too much ? I’m freaking out but I’m too scared to go get it checked because of covid!

Thanks for your help/feedback!

Hi Nedavsg,

I get those and I also get the feeling of something twisting in my insides, I have no idea what that could be. I am 5 or 6 years out, it didn't happen until about 3 years ago.

I had the same type of pains and occasionally do still, my doctor told me it was most likely my body healing and re-arranging due to the weight loss. its a normal worry but if it is constant i would get it checked out.

I think you're still healing...I had mine on November 6 and still feel little twinges and things here and there the location where you feel it is actually where your stomach is situated.

The same is happening to me. (Sorry my English, I speak Spanish) I’ve been feeling like sharp - pinch sometimes on my left side sometimes on my right. I had surgery Nov11,29 I’m worry but I don’t want to go (Covid19). I think I’ve been carrying bags for the super, etc but I thought I was healed after 6 months. I feel it every other day.

Nedav! Are you still feeling it?

Medical clinics are going a long way to make sure patients are completely separated and they are cleaning everything really well. Also using a skeleton crew so I think if you take proper precautions you should be able to see your doc. Covid is one thing but twisted insides or an infection would be much worse
