dVH/RALH 4 weeks post-hysterectomy and having some pain and spotting

Hello Everyone, I was wondering if anyone has experienced this type of issue. I am a little over 4 weeks past surgery and have started to have tenderness and slight pain on my upper left side. Kinda near my rib cage. I have also had some light spotting for about 2 days. I don't know if this is normal, as I didn't experience pain after the surgery itself.

Sorry Friends, I didn't think my first question went through. I didn't mean to ask the same thing twice.

My doc said her davinci patients typically call her btwn weeks 4 & 6 (usually at about 5 wks) with sudden spotting and aching as their cuff stitches dissolve / are discharged. That could be it? I'd call tomorrow just to be reassured. (Unless of course you bleed heavy, bright red... The call after hours.)

My surgery was one week before yours and I had the same symptoms last week. No more spotting since Monday! I think what you are experiencing is the normal healing process. I also had tenderness on upper left side but that seems to be better now.
