12 days post op, increased pain
for the past 3 days I've experienced an increase in abdominal pain. Not sharp pain, about 4/10. It feels like increased pressure in my abdomen. And occasionally if I bend, there is a pinching pain. I had none of this pain prior to 3 days ago. Could it be the nerves of my stomach regenerating? An internal hernia? Regular old healing pains?
i called my surgeons office yesterday, and they suggested going to the ER. However, this doesn't feel like an emergency. I have not had to take any pain meds since I've been home. But the last 2 nights I've had to take oxy.
im still able to get in my shakes and water. All of my plumbing seems to be working normally.
Has anyone else experienced this?
If my surgeon's office told me to go to ER, I'd probably suck it up and go to ER :/ Did they give you an option of scheduling early this coming week?
