I had my procedure 12/08/2015. Last weekend I was having really bad cramps that went away the next day. Last night I started to feel pain in my right side under my rib cage. The pain is between where I had my JP drain and my largest incision site. When I touched the area it was tender and I could feel a nodule so I placed a heating pad on it for approximately 20 minutes. No luck the pain was still there. I decided I needed to come to the ER and now I'm sitting here with an IV waiting to get a cat scan as the NP indicated the nodule/abscess is the size of a pea. I am praying and hoping it's nothing major.

I am praying it's nothing major either but am glad you are getting it checked out.

Thinking of you. I hope it's nothing serious. (((hugs)))

You're in my prayers!

Stay strong. It's always better to get it checked. Feel better soon!

Thank you all. Good news is no leak but inflamed diverculitis.....The NP called my surgeon I have to go in the office next week. I was given a prescription for pain but nothing for antibiotics. I will keep you posted on what the surgeon says next week. Have a wonderful day!

Thanks for the update. I am glad they were able to figure out what it was and at least treat the pain. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Do you have an update?
