Pain in the lower abdomen and back
Hiya everyone I am 27 days post op ....and i was doing great the first three weeks and then wham i got hives due to allergies and i got a pain between the three incisions on the left side above and below the main incision and at the main icision its self .... I been walking 20 to 30 min since day 4 so doesnt make sense .....this just doubles you over grabbing and walking is out of the question they put me on a muscle relaxer and pain killer but it doesnt seem to help .....Help me if you know what it is could it possible still be gas trapped or what....but i miss my 30 min walks and going to the gym..sighz
Hi Angela--I'm VERY recently post-op (surgery 4/25/06) so I'm by no means an expert, but in the mounds of paperwork and post-op care instructions I received, it mentions that one symptom of dehydration is a constant, dull ache across the lower back. Is your water intake still as high as it was in the beginning? Other symptoms listed are: fatigue, dark colored urine, dizziness, fainting, nausea, and a whitish coating on your toungue. Unfortunately I'm having a hard time getting in enough fluids because I still have severe nausea and I have actually developed a couple of these symptoms myself (hmmm--nausea because of not drinking enough, but not drinking enough because of nasea--any suggestions for me?!?)
I hope you feel better soon!
