Pain/soreness Question

Just had my surgery Thursday. Came home today. Had to stay an extra night due to complications. Anyway, the ONLY place that hurts and is sore is my upper left quadrant....anyone else have this problem?

Yep I had that same problem it's because that's where they do the most work!

Right there with you Tracy! I had the exact same problem. It's because of what Summer said- I think everyone is sore there. I actually am still a little bruised there 3+ months out!

Same here thurs I'll be 2 weeks out still hurts! Dr said its bc they use the biggest tool through there and really had to push through the muscles!! Feel better soon!
