large swelling left side
I am 5 1/2 weeks post op and still having pain on left side.
its a very sore feeling and yesterday i carefully pressed the area and can feel a large long sore lump quite deep down on left side only, the other side there is nothing and no pain.
I actually had most surgery on my right side this time
(it was my left ovary and both tubes 2 1/2 years ago)
this time i had, my right ovary, womb and cervix taken away so expected more pain on right side.
I still havent had even an appointment for my 6 week checkup.
does anyone have any thoughts on what this could be?

Re: large swelling left side
This is something I would encourage you to chat with your doctor about. It could be that it is simply taking a while to heal after surgery. Make sure you tell your doc at your 6 week check up about it, or if it is really bothering you give the office a call.
I stayed very sore for many many weeks past when it was "normal" to feel better, but I have been a very slow healer. I am doing tons and tons better now, but it was a slow uphill march for me to not be sore anymore.
I hope you get to the bottom of it soon and do let us know how you are doing!

Re: large swelling left side
I am sore and swollen on the left side as well, right side is a little sore but now swelling. Mentioned it at my 2 week follow-up and was told that it was nothing to worry about. I still think I look lopsided.

Re: large swelling left side
We dont get a 6 week check up here in wales, its gonna be a 3 month one for me and gp says not everyone has that anymore.
Anyway, took myself the the GP, coz it will be 6 weeks post op this coming fri. ( she has been with me the past 4 years through all my "womens" problems, she said that even though it was my womb,cervix and remaining right ovary that was removed, i had loads of scar tissue that needed to be removed from the left side, thats why the pain ans swelling.
feeling far happier today too
