Revised to Bypass 6/8. Lower left abdomen pain.

[thepettymess 1]

Just got revised 6/8 and my biggest pain is my lower left abdomen and side. Does anyone have any tips for getting through this part? I’m wearing a binder and trying to walk as much as I can. Any tips would be very much appreciated!

IMHO ... Take your pain meds on time everytime so the pain doesn't catch up with you. If the pain meds are not helping call your team for a different choice and if your pain worsens over time instead of getting better let them know ASAP.

Good Luck!

Thank you! Doctor said it was deep stitch pain and unfortunately medication won’t help. She’s recommending Aspercreme with lidocaine but it hasn’t helped much yet.

Bruising maybe!? Itchy!?
How about Arnica Cream. I love it for bruising.
