What is this left side pain?
I've scheduled an appointment to see my doctor on this Thursday, but I am wondering if anyone has gone through what I am going through now. My left side has been hurting since I got out of surgery which I thought was normal, however, it is almost 4 weeks out and I am still having pain on my left side. The pain is almost like a pulling pain on my left side from the incision up to my ribs and around to my upper back (not in the shoulder blades). If I touch my incision it doesn't hurt, just a little tender at the very end of the incision on my left side and it is not red or swollen. While I am sitting it doesn't hurt, when I am walking it is a different thing. I know the pain is there. Has anyone experienced this before? The staff at the doctor's office said the pain on the left side should be gone by now. This pain is not in my stomach.
Thanks!
