Revised to Bypass 6/8. Lower left abdomen pain.



Recommended Posts

Just got revised 6/8 and my biggest pain is my lower left abdomen and side. Does anyone have any tips for getting through this part? I’m wearing a binder and trying to walk as much as I can. Any tips would be very much appreciated!

IMHO ... Take your pain meds on time everytime so the pain doesn't catch up with you. If the pain meds are not helping call your team for a different choice and if your pain worsens over time instead of getting better let them know ASAP.

Good Luck!

Thank you! Doctor said it was deep stitch pain and unfortunately medication won’t help. She’s recommending Aspercreme with lidocaine but it hasn’t helped much yet.

Bruising maybe!? Itchy!?
How about Arnica Cream. I love it for bruising.

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
