Sharp pain in bottom right abdomen..common?
I have been looking up causes of my pain and I am not finding anything similar to my situation. At this point, I am 4 wks po and had minor pain up until a few days ago. Since then I have had severe back pain and when I lie down, move, sit, really just be awake, I am having pain and a slight burning sensation where I have internal sutures. I asked the surgeon about it when I went in for my first po and he said it was normal and to keep moving. I did that and it worked for about a week, all I really did was walk. Now though it's getting more intense, frequent, and I'm unable to sleep.
I don't want to call his office and be one of "those patients" every time I have pain if this is normal but I really haven't seen anything like this. A heating pad does help a little but I have to keep constant heat around my entire right side and that's just impractical- not to mention unsafe.
What do you guys think?
