Left Side Pain

I am 3 weeks post op today.  I am having terrible pain on my left side.  My PA says it is due to an internal stitch placed in my muscle around where the stapler went in.  They gave me a Rx for Celebrex (only 7 days worth), and it seemed to work the first 2 days, but today it's back.   Has anyone else experienced this?  If so, how long can I expect it to last?  Thanks!

I have to tell you that I am having the same problem post op with my hernia repair.  I am having a LOT of pain on the right side under my rib.  My doctor says it is one of my tacks that is holding my mesh to my muscle.  HE says it could take up to 3 months to feel better.  I had surgery August 13th.  I am not sure how long yours will last but I can't imagine it will be longer than 3 months.  I don't know if that is any help to you or not, but it is all I can tell you.
