I am 14 days post op and I am still having some pain in my abdominal area. It feels like someone punched me in my stomach between my large incision on the left side and the incision right by my belly button. It was felling better before returning to work last week. I bent over the counter a few times during the course of the day and it put alot of pressure against my stomach and it has been very sore since them. Has antone else experienced this type of pain?

I had similar pain a few days ago, I'm 16 days post op. I talked to my nurse about it and she said to take it easy, apply moist heat and that it's totally normal pain.

My doctor told me that the incision on my left that was the most sore was where the liver retractor was placed. Apparently it is pretty big and rigid. It stands to reason that there would be a lot of muscles bruised under the skin. I am sitting here with my heating pad right now:)

The pain is normal. My pain stayed for a while at the biggest incision site. Try not to use that muscle too much and take it easy for a while. It will eventually go away.

Thank you everyone for your input. It has eased my mind. This forum is wonderful!
