Pain six months out. Is this normal?

[Mia may 4]

I’m having pain on my left side and middle. I could only get in to see my doctor next Monday but for now it’s driving me crazy with worry. I can push on it and it feels tender/sore. I wonder if I overdid it here recently working out. I just don’t know but surely this isn’t normal.

I have been taking Probiotics and a bariatric pill with Iron in it. I wasn’t sure if this could also cause this pain/discomfort. I feel like I can feel my insides. If that makes any sense.

I am 6 months out too. I get pain every once a while. Nothing serious where i need medication to control but sometimes the big incision area ends up tender or with a bit of pain. But not often

Might just be a pulled muscle, but if you have or develop any of the following symptoms, please go to the ER, it could be something more serious and may or may not be associated with your surgery:

• Persistent vomiting
• Unable to eat or drink
• Fever > 101.5
• Pain gets worse instead of better
• Not urinating or dark or foul smelling urine
• Dizzy/light-headed
• Sudden sharp chest pain
• Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
• Rapid heart rate at rest (>100 beats per minute)

May have overdone it like you mentioned. Take it easy for the next few days until you see your Doctor and see if it gets better.

I hope you feel better.

I really doubt that your probiotic or Vitamin would be causing pain but if they started at the same time it’s possible I guess. Could you skip them for a couple days and see if it goes away? Idk about the probiotic but skipping your vitamin for a day or two won’t hurt anything. If it gets worse or if your just a worrier like me you could always go to urgent care for peace of mind that it’s not anything serious.
