Normal To Have More Pain 12 Days After Surgery?

[Calicolea 38]

I woke up this morning with lots of pain on my left side, much more than I have had since first having surgery. I thought I was getting a little bit better everyday until whammy this happened and it feels like I'm back to day one or two. I had surgery 5/4/12, so it's been 12 days.

Is this normal or has anyone else had this happen?

Two things I did different yesterday..... a lot more walking (went to the movies in the mall and it was a long walk) and started Prilosec for bad reflux.

Any info you might have or experienced would really help, I'm kinda freaking that I did something to myself. Isn't it past the time leaks and things happen?

Yes, I had pain almost 2 weeks out when I overdid it one day. If you use pain meds and cannot bring it below a 6 or so, go to the ER. Better safe than sorry.

I too found I had pain in my side when I walked alot kinda like when u run and get pain in the side. Also by then I stopped reg. pain meds just took tylenol so it allowed pain to come thru more. But like jr.guru better to be safe than sorry. Hope u feel better soon.

I was sleeved 4/24/12 & had more pain after I started sleeping in bed last Saturday night. I slept in the recliner for weeks & it killed my hip. I started walking harder/faster & that hurt my left side more too & just felt more sore all over. We still need to take it easy. Good luck!! : )

Thanks so much for your help. Relating your experiences makes me feel so much better..... I must have done too much yesterday. It still hurts like a mother, so I'm babying myself until it goes away.

Eventhough it was good...... at this point I'm not sure going to see "The Avengers" was such a good idea...... although during the movie I was feeling pretty good looking at all that beefcake. LOL
