1 week after my surgery

It's been 1 week exactly today that I had my surgery. My doctor told me last monday that I was healing really fast (my cuts) they are scabbing already so i'm getting that itch already.

Anyways I asked my doctor if I could drive soon he said yes after tuesday I was fine to drive. Well today I went to Los Angeles it took me about 1hr&10mins to get there due to lovely LA traffic on the 10 & 605. I felt great

but right now I feel like someone kicked the sh** out of me on me lower left side of my stomach well more under my rib cage and yes there is pain. I am wondering now.. maybe I overdid it on my first drive? Cause im also brusing next to 1 of my cuts and another bruise on the other side.

Has this happened to anyone?

Any OTC meds I could take? Cause I really dont want to take Hydrocodone

Thanks

I had this too, for me, I went to the mall thinking 'oh no problem'. I ended up sitting a lot. The pain was more like a really bad sideache. So I'm thinking it was just pushing myself a lil too soon. I took a couple chewable tylenols but generally it just seemed that over time the 'sideache' went away.

Best Wishes!

I had my surgery 3 weeks ago, I didn't experience the bruising, but I did have the pains in my abdomen, it's coming from gas pains, try some tylenol for the discomfort this does go away, hope this works for you.
