I had surgery on Monday 8/30. Since then I have had 1 of my 6 incision site continuously been extremely painful. It's the only site that's bruised, steri-strip is bloody and it hurts soooo much. When ever I move or have to engage that part of my core (sitting up, going to the bathroom, laying in bed, even just standing up) it hurts. It's like a burning, sharp ripping feeling and it legit makes me see stars and lose my breath. I called and sent a photo to my doctor and they said it was normal. They gave me a stronger pain medication but it only makes me high and doesn't tough the pain when I move. Could they have stitched me up a little off? Anyone else experience this? I need it to be tolerable by Monday so I can go to my work office for 1 hour. I feel alone and absolutely hate doing anything right now because of this.

Go to your local hospital & get it checked. You shouldn’t be bleeding or feeling pain like that five days after surgery. You could have an infection.

I believe some surgeons add an internal support stitch like scaffolding that could be pulling but ??‍♀️.

Good luck.

I was the same way and it got less and less a couple weeks after my surgery. By 3.5 weeks it was gone. I was told it was where my stomach came out

So sorry to hear about your pain. I have not had a similar issue but have heard others say the one where they removed stomach is worst. Keep watch make sure no infection is setting in and try to rest. Ur not alone reach out crew 4 support. This is a process but gets better I'm 4 wks out. Just taking it day by day. Hang in there.
