Sharp pain 2 weeks post op

[cabookie11 18]

Every time I take in a deep breath or yawn, I feel this stabbing pain in my right lower rib cage. It doesn’t feel like its actually in my lungs bc I can breath just fine but the sharp pain is enough to interrupt my yawn or deep breaths.

Anyone experienced this?

Yep. Had that exact same thing happen when I would yawn. Don't know if I would describe it as stabbing, but was painful. I just attributed it to pressure getting put on the surgery points when taking in a deep breath from yawning. Eventually it tapered off and went away.

I am 3 weeks out and I still have a sharp pain on my right side, Its not all the time but when it happens it can almost bring me to my knees. I was hopeing it would be better by now.

Mine went away completely by week 4. My pain was localized to be near my incision on the right side. I was told it was the inside stitches pulling at my belly wall under where they did the glue on the incisions. Previous to that, severe pain I had on my right side was due to Constipation and being backed up pretty bad - that was constant pain though and not a sharp short pain due to movement.
