4 days post op. Need help

Hello, my doctor was able to do the daVinci hysterectimy last Wednesday. This is day 4 and I am having excruciating pain on my right lower belly and under my left breast area. I am crying. Pain Meds are not working. I'm hurting bad!!! What do I do? I already have a heating pad on. Did Iention I get hot them cold hot then cold.

Have you been able to go to the bathroom or at least pass gas okay? Sounds like it could be gas pains..but I'm not so sure about getting hot and cold though... It may be a good idea to call first thing tomorrow if you don't get relief by then.

Sweetie I would put in a call to your doctor today. Did you skip any pains meds and let the pain "get away from you" or are you keeping up with them regularly. The hot and cold has me concerned that you might have an infection. I would highly recommend calling the doctor, better to be safe than sorry.
Please keep us updated.

Thanks ladies. I am calling the doctor answering service now
