Hi is anyone still feeling pain after 2 weeks and some days post op? I have like pulling pains close to my large incision, whenever i bend or make an effort to do something theres the pain. I thought after 2 weeks I wasnt suppose to have more pain. Is this normal? I dont even feel ready to go back to work.

It is definitely normal it's takes about 7 weeks to feel almost no pain

Everyone is different. My pain like that went away in about 10 days, but I also used ice packs on that area the first several days. The nurse in hospital said it helped with swelling and pain. If you don't feel like being able to go back to work, take some more time.

Make sure you are meeting your protein goals. Healing is slow when you are light on protein. I was good to go back to work after 10 days with almost no pain.

The large incision was pretty tender for me for a while after surgery.

All my pain went away after about 3 weeks. I would say it's normal, if your super concerned contact the doctor and be sure feel better!

Thank you for your help!! My Protein in take is very low, maybe thats why im not healing fast. I am thinking about going to the hospital cause my pain feels worst today. Its like a painful pressure around my belly botton. It only goes away in certain positions.
