  1. Stabbing Pain, Pain, HELP

    Hello All..

    I am 3 weeks post-op and been having excruciating knife stabbing or pulling tearing like pains in my left side where the majority of incisions are. When I saw my doc for my 2 week she said it was normal as the muscles are healing.

    The pain is so bad that it has brought me to tears a few times.
    Usually happens when I am laying down sleeping and try to change sleep positions or if I move or bend wrong during the day.

    Anyone else experience ...
