Post op almost 5 weeks still have Pain where incision is
Anyone have this problem, I had an abdominal hysterectomy and where the incision is, kinda right below it on the left side I have a ton of pain and pulling, is this normal?
I havent been taking any pain meds and actually had to take some the past two days so that I could sleep. The pain is only on the one side.
Any help, suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I hate to call the doc for any little issue.
Blessings
Michelle

I think it must be. That was happening to me a week or two ago, and it still happens when I've been too active in a day.
I think it's the internal sutures or something.

Re: Post op almost 5 weeks still have Pain where incision is
I am five weeks post op and have had the same issue on my right side.
I have been told by my Dr that its part of the healing process.
Unfortunatly its going to take a bit longer to heal, as we have had major surgry and they had to cut ligaments and muscles along with removing the offending items.
Please look after yourself

Re: Post op almost 5 weeks still have Pain where incision is
I had it too, on the right side,,,Started below the incision and felt like a pulled muscule all the way down the front and onto the front of my vajayjay. Went back to the Dr and he said said it's the internal muscules healing. He advised me to take 2 Motrin 3x a day and use a heating pad to bring blood to the area to promote healing. It has helped alot. I couldn't walk more than 50 feet when I had that pain. Now I can walk about 1/2 mile before I slightly start feeling it.
Hope that helps.........Happy Healing to us all!

Re: Post op almost 5 weeks still have Pain where incision is
I am almost at the end of week 6, the incision pain doesn't wake me up much anymore but I still feel it when I get up from the bed or roll over. Until a few days ago I would wake up in pain, and it would get so bad when I got out of bed I would just shake and sweat for a few mins, that isn't happening any more.
I am on celebrex and I still ice before bed, in the middle of the night sometimes. My incisions is at least 12 inches long and vertical.
Have a gout like thing on my toe last night hurt more but right now I feel like a pain sandwich, I should go ice my incision and my toe.
