Is it normal to have sharp pains?

I have been getting these really sharp pains in the area of one of my incisions the last couple of days. It's mostly when I try to stand up from a nap or get up from a deep chair. I am going to the doctor tomorrow for my two week check up but I thought I would ask here first. Thanks, Robyn

Even tho you are seeing our good doc tomorrow, I would call the number they gave you when you got discharged and ask them just so you can have peace of mind

I hope you were able to get this figured out, because that does not sound fun. Good luck at your 2 week check up and I hope you get the pain figured out! ~Nicole

I just wanted to let you know that I had sharp pain for at least the first 3 weeks if not longer. It was always around the area with the largest incision. I would recognize the pain mostly from bending over, get up from the couch, or any quick movements. I was told from my clinic that this can happen considering what we have been through. Wishing you all the best as you handle this. Take care

God Bless, Angela

My guess would be that with the movement, you're pulling internal stitches. Pretty normal. Good that you're seeing your doc to be sure, but I wouldn't be too worried about it. I've had more than my fair share of surgeries, and that happened to me every time.

I too had sharp pains and was really sensative around the incisions. I think its just the muscles and everything healing, but always good to ask the doc!
