Default Question!

SO...I'm feeling pretty great except for one thing. The incision just to the left of my belly button hurts when I move. Well, it's not exactly the incision, it's just above it. This is the second most bruised site and I thought maybe it just hurts because of the bruising. (however, the most bruised site doesn't hurt at all.) Like I said, it only hurts when I move- not at all if I'm sitting still. I talk to the dr tomorrow- what do you think it is? I've heard of strictures but I don't know what they feel like or anything. Could that be what it is? I'm still on clear liquids and I haven't had a problem with anything I've had yet (chicken broth, carne asada broth (lol- that's what it tasted like- heaven), sf jello, sf popscicles, water, crystal light, and apple juice).
Thanks again for all your help!

That's where all the 'heavy equipment' went in...mine still hurts sometimes even at 2+ years out...I doubt it's anything to be alarmed about, but you should ask anyway, I did.
I don't think you should ever hesitate to ask your doctor about a pain you think may be surgery related. Glad to hear you're starting to feel better!

That's the one that hurts me the most and is the most bruised.

Which one is your most bruised one?

I'm glad to hear that it isn't just me but I'll still ask about it when I talk to Kelly tomorrow. THANKS!
My most bruised site is the one on my far left side.

My doc must be left-handed because my RIGHT side hurt the most!
