Not Sure If This Is Normal

I'M ALMOST 5 WEEKS POST-OP FROM TAH...PROBLEM IS I'VE BEEN HAVING SHARP STABBING TYPE PAINS IN MY RIGHT SIDE (not all the time, they come & go) ~ SOMETIMES THE PAIN WILL ALSO AFFECT THE BELLYBUTTON AREA & SPREAD TOWARDS MY BACK AS WELL...I'M NOT HAVING ANY DISCHARGE OR BLEEDING...I'VE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH BOWEL MOVEMENTS OR GAS SINCE 1 WEEK POST-OP...HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM??? DO YOU THINK IT'S SOMETHING I SHOULD BE WORRYING ABOUT??? I HAVE ANOTHER APPT W/DR ON MONDAY 8/21...I DON'T WANT TO CALL HER & BOTHER HER BEFORE THEN IF I DON'T HAVE TO...

I'VE BEEN FOLLOWING DR'S ORDERS TO THE TEE...
I'VE ONLY BEEN DOING LIGHT WORK (DISHES & COOKING) ~ MY HUBBY & KIDS WON'T LET ME MOVE FORWARD WITH OTHER HOUSEWORK ~ DARN!!! (lol) I ALSO TAKE A WALK EACH MORNING WITH MY HUBBY WHEN HE GETS HOME FROM WORK...

Hi Kayce,

I also have had pains here and there. I would have severe pain when I sneezed like a hernia was going to pop out of my side. The dr. said it would go away and sure enough, it did after a couple of weeks.

Now I am having pains and soreness, I think it is because the nerve endings are starting to work again. Hopefully this too will pass.

I would definately keep checking with your dr. My dr. was pretty accurate with my symptoms.

Hope you fell better soon!

You know how they say that when you have an amputation, you have "phantom" pain in the non-existant limb? I swear I had phantom ovarian pain on one side.

That is exactly what I am experiencing at 4 weeks, finally got tired of it and I am going to the doctor today. Mine is left pain, it hasn't let up since 2nd day after surgery. I will let you know what I find out later today. Hope you get better soon!!

Yes, I too have that pain once in a while on the side where the ovary WAS....it also feels like it goes down toward my bladder area....strange, I also so very tired the last couple of days...
