left side, under my ribcage, it's swollen and it really itches
I know I should probably ask my surgeon and I probably will but thought I would ask if anyone else experienced this... On my left side, under my ribcage, it's a bit swollen and it really itches. If I push on it, it hurts. Wondering what it is? I see the nurse on Wednesday, so I'll ask her too. I had surgery on November 23,2015. Haven't had any issues... yet
I'd call the dr. now just in case it's the start of a hernia or a blockage or a leak of some sort.
