3 Weeks Post-op & Very Frequent Sharp Stabbing Pain In Left Side Of Abdomen
I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else post-op? I am 3 weeks post-op RNY and for the past few days I have been having frequent sharp pains in the left side of my abdomen. I can just be sitting or even walking and all of a sudden I'll get this sharp pain that will double me over then it'll go away...then a few minutes later or even 10-15 minutes later it'll happen again. Plus it still hurts my pouch when I drink or eat anything. So I'm in constant pain.
I know, I know I'm a nurse and know that I need call my surgeon about this, but I have had nothing but issues since I left the hospital after the surgery. I also have chronic abdominal pain, (right side) so I know that isn't the problem - plus I'm only able to take about half of my chronic pain meds so my pain level is even higher than my norm.
So, if someone else has been through what I'm experiencing now please let me know what you ended up doing and what your end results were.
Thanks
