Severe pain in right side...

[BRittenhouse 0]

I was sleeved on 04/16 and have done GREAT until now. I can bend over or anything due to this horrible pain in my right side. It’s from my largest incision like INSIDE to my back. It hurts. Going to the doc tomorrow afternoon but any advice?

Could be from the internal scaffolding suture. You are still healing so go slowly & don’t do anything too strenuous or physical to strain or stretch the internal wounds.

Happened to me. I tore some inside flesh overdoing it. Eventually, the stich dissolved and the pain went away. It was pretty rough.

I can’t move at all today. My doc says it’s just a pulled muscle. I have 7 kids and can’t afford to NOT be able to move. I’m in tears. I can’t even wipe myself. There’s no way this is normal. What do I do???

It’s sounds like the internal stitch is absorbing and causing muscle strain. Might need a muscle relaxer. Try heat

How long did it take to heal?

As soon as the stitch dissolved, it stopped hurting. It was a few weeks.
