Soreness and pain getting worse not better - Crosspost

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

I am now almost seven weeks post op and in many ways I am feeling

much more like my normal self. My energy is coming back; I don't

have much trouble eating and my bathroom habits are becoming more

predictable.

However, at about 4 weeks, I noticed that I was having more and more

soreness on my left side about half way down the incision. It wasn't

real painful, just irritating and it seemed to get more and more

frequent. I notice it most when I bend, twist, roll over in bed,

etc. I called Dr. Hess and asked him if I should be concerned and he

didn't seem too worried about it. Then, at about six weeks, I

started having some much sharper pains right at the top of my

insicion and a little bit to the left. They too happen when I move

wrong, bend over, get out of bed, etc. When I sneeze, it produces

terrible pain that lasts for 30 to 60 seconds. Of course I had

plenty of aches and pains for a few weeks after surgery but when they

went away, I assumed they would stay away and now that I am having

pain daily at almost seven weeks out, I am concerned. Has anybody

else had a similar experience? If so, did the pains go away and

when? Thanks for your input.
