Post op pain

Just had surgery on the 28th. Everything went well with the surgery. The surgeon did say he had to put a stitch in my muscle where he took out one of the laparoscopes because it was bleeding more than he wanted it too. Man, the pain in that one area is pretty bad. My other sites seem good and relatively pain free. I'm having some back pain too. All of this normal? I'm having to take hydrocodone every 4 hours to deal with the pain in that one site and the only comfortable position is lying down at this point.

i had the same thing ... extreme pain on the left side, and then they want you to cough!?! That was the toughest part but the worst of the pain was gone after 3 days. Hang in there! You CAN do this! It will get better.

For me, it was normal. Not fun, but it was my normal.

My surgeon said that my incision site on the left just under my bra would be the most sore because that's the largest one that he makes his largest incision because his stapler goes thru that port & he moves that one around a lot more then the other ports. So that might just be why you are extra sore there beyond the extra stitches & bleed you had.

I am three weeks out and I occasionally have that same pain . It hurts when I forget and move too quickly . I go for my check up Tom hoping to find some good news . Good luck it will ease up and not hurt every day .
