I have been having pain in the largest incision (where stomach was removed). It is getting better with time but when I move a certain way it burns, feels like it's cramping, pulling underneath the incision. I went to my one month check-up yesterday and asked the doctor. He said there are sutures underneath the incision and they go down deep into the abdomen and that's why it feels the way it does and that with time it will disappear. I told him it wasn't anything I can't handle but just wondering why it hurts sometimes and no one else seems to be having the same issue. There are 17 of us at work who have had the surgery in the past year.
Just wanted to let anyone, who is having this problem, know that this pain is normal and don't worry, nothing is wrong!
