left stomach pain

I'm 3 and a half weeks out and yesterday I started getting this sharp pain on the left side of my stomach...similar to the pain right after surgery...is it common for this to happen?

      Is it right under your left rib? When you bend does it get worse?

      My dr says everyone experiences the same pain there for about 4-6wks then it goes away

    I had the same problem. My doctor told me it's was the muscles that they had to cut to get to my tummy. But if the pain doesn't go away call your doctor. It's an awful feeling I couldn't even sit

    Same here. But I'm 7 days out....so I'm confident it's expected.
