2 Week Post Op Appt Today- Pain with hematoma

Hello,

Had my post op 2 week follow up today.

Woke up in severe pain this morning and was so glad that I already had the follow up appointment scheduled for today.

Only one incision is bothering me... still quite a bit of bruising there.

But the severe pain I am having is on my left front side (away from the incisions). It is a sharp, sore, shooting pain that only goes away a little when I lay down.

Today, I found out what it is. The doctor said it is a hematoma (I had to look it up when I got home). He said it can cause quite a bit of pain, but that it will go away.

I was just wondering, has anyone else out there had this problem and how long did it take for it to go away ( I know everyone is different, just curious).

Thanks,

:)

I had an almost burning sensation away from the incisions, like my skin was literally on fire. My doc just looked at me and said "huh?" It went away the next day. Hopefully, it's just as quick for you.

Wow. I haven't felt anything like that. It sure is interesting to hear other people's experiences on here.

Glad your pain quickly went away for you. And thank you, I hope mine goes away soon. :)
