Pain 2 weeks after laproscopic surgery for ovarian cyst
I had laparoscopic surgery 2 weeks ago to remove 2 dermoid cysts on my right ovary. I felt great after a couple days until about 9 days after the surgery when I started having pain on my lower right side that moves sometimes to my side. The pain has gotten worse the last few days but is not intolerable. I didnt feel that great when I woke up this morning and I have a little pain in my right thigh. My doctor is out for another week but I was just wondering if this kind of pain is normal after surgery and if so how long it usually lasts and what I can do to ease the pain. I am just concerned it may be something more serious instead of just healing pains. Thanks for any assistance.
That is definitely a possibility. I have been up and about and probably not resting as much as I should. I will just cool it for a couple of days and hope that I everything feels better. Thanks!
It is possible you "overdid it" a bit physically instead of resting? If you did some housework, for example, you may not hurt immediately, but the day after, have a lot of pain in or near the surgical area. The internal healing takes time and if we rush things, we will feel it afterwards. Usually it take a day or two for any pain from "overdoing" to ease. Don't let the exterior of the surgery fool you. Most of the work was done inside and could take as much as, say 10 weeks, to firm up and not be so vulnerable anymore.
