I'm 4.5 weeks out and I've been really good, sometimes to the point of thinking did I have an op! Anyway, I get a bad sharp stabbing pain in the lower right of my belly and was wondering if anyone else had this (FYI this is nowhere any of my incisions). It feels like a really chronic stitch (you know the type you get from running) and I wouldn't ever call a doc about that - before everyone recommends that!

I did manage to get one very low impact Step session in the other day, but this hurts just to walk around at the mo. I want to get exercising by New Year at the latest (ie Saturday) and was just wondering if other people had had similar experiences. Should I just take painkillers when needed? The pain comes and goes and I'm worried about constantly popping painkillers which is why I've been holding off.

Where at? I just had some tonight. Worked out with weights today and walked for an hr yesterday. mine are like flashing pains about 3 in above my belly button and 2 in.to.the right. Doesn't feel like pain from overeating. Almost like a spasm but pain instead. Seems to be better when I lay down.

Hi Amy, the pain's just above my right hip. I've been mostly OK for the last 48 hours. I did a decent workout for 1.5 hours yesterday morning and had a few seconds of pain in bed last night, so I don't think it's related to that. Fingers crossed it's mostly gone, but I'm just curious as to what it was!
