Abdominal pain
When should I see my surgeon again? I'm 6 years out and now I'm starting to experience massive pain in my abdominal area. Yes some of it is gas related but today I wore a femme hygiene product and when I came home the pain was horrible with a bowel movement...I feel bloated sore and bruised. Is this an emergency? I'm on high doses of tramadol for my knee so I don't feel much pain plus I had my tummy tuck and I can't feel most of that area.
just advice please....I'll contact doctor tomorrow...just need some relief.
thanks

without more info ,there is no way anyone can answer this question.
Pain in the "abdominal area" could be a thousand and one different things, depending on exactly where it is, what type of pain it is (sharp, throbbing, tearing, etc.), how intense it is, and how long it has been happening, and what other symptoms you have.
You should definitely see a doctor although it may not be necessary to see your surgeon since you are so far out. It may or may not be an emergency. If is is severe, though, and neither your surgeon nor your PCP can see you right away, you might have to decide whether it is bad enough to go to the ER. If you develop a fever with it, DEFINITELY go to the ER.
