Pain 10 days post op

I'm 10 days post op, still having pain to one of my incisions. Mainly when in a sitting position. I asked my surgeon and he said it's normal because that's where he placed the suture that goes to the muscle. It feels like a burning sensation. Anyone else experiencing this?

  • Thanks Laura, my husband is driving me around. But even in the passenger's seat I feel discomfort. When did yours stop bothering you?

  • I had the same pain on the left side. My doc said the same thing. The suture in the muscle was the culprit. Mine finally disappeared after about 3 to 4 weeks as well. It is so worth it though isn'

  • Mine is on the right side. Do they usually do that there or is it almost always on the left? Feels like a sharp, stabbing pain when you try to move or twist. Like trying to sit up from lying in bed

I'm 10 days out too, and I have the same thing, but in the largest incision in the middle of my stomach. I saw my surgeon for a follow-up yesterday, and he said it was normal - one of the internal sutures pulling - and that it should go away in 2 - 3 weeks when the sutures dissolve. He said one day I might feel a "pop" as it gave out, and the pain would end instantly.
