    Default Pain in lower left side

    Has anyone had bad pain on the lower left side in your belly? It feels like a horrid burning sensation? My dr said it is pretty normal because of all the stitches on the inside. I was just wondering how long it lasted if any of you have had this?

    Default Re: Pain in lower left side

    Is the pain constant or intermittent. Constant would concern me but intermittent that is aggravated by movement I would think more of stretching from incisions. I am always concerned for left lower quadrant pain for diverticulitis or ovarian torsion, both of which are constant building pain.

    My surgeon's assistant said left side pain will last about a month. I'm in my 4th week and still having pain but it has eased up over time. Some have said their pain lasted about six weeks.

    Yes, I had lower left side pain as well. I am now 3 weeks post-op and that pain is totally gone. But out of all the stitch areas that one hurt the longest.

    I had pain in my lower left side, too. I am 1 month out today, and for the most part it is gone, but sometimes if I overdo it or turn the wrong way I still definitely feel it. It is not sharp or severe, but more of an annoyance at this point than anything.

    I also had it. If I would sit at this computer to long I would really feel it. I am one month out today and it is completely gone.

    Yes, I had it too, most likely you twinged something in there, or it could be atelectasis, mine lasted for probably 4 weeks, so I am guessing mine was the atelectasis, and it just needed to re-inflate that portion
