Pain after laparoscopy

[chandrika]

I wondered if anyone who had had a laparoscopy could tell me how long it hurt for.

I still feel quite alot of pain when walking after a week and wondered if that is normal, as everywhere I read that people resume normal activities after a couple of days.

I am not doubled up or anything, its just like having a constant stitch, and when i take a step, especially around my belling button there is a kind of sharp tugging pain. Also some stabbing pains too that just seem to happn even when sitting still.

Just wanted to know if this is usual, I expcet it is, but thought I would ask others who had had similar, who might tell me how long until the abdomen feels normal again.

Thanks

I too was wondering if this is normal.  I'm 7 weeks post-op and very discouraged about sharp twinges of pain on each side of my navel and even lower.  The pain will linger for a while and then return a few days later.  I still don't exercise, I am trying to take into account that my surgeon had to scrape my uterus off my abdominal wall, so maybe that's why it's taking me so long to heal?  Are you still having pain?

I had laparoscopic appendectomy on May 4th and all seemed ok until May 8th, when I started to feel sharp and heavy pain on my lower LEFT side (under scar) when I move.. Now I can’t walk normally (I don’t know why but it’s easier to walk only when I hardly press on that area under scar), and I absolutely die in pain when need to sneeze or laugh.. I feel like getting hurt with knife in these moments... Also i feel sharp pain in the end of urinating.. im dealing with this for a 5 days now and its absolutelly not getting better.. I want to cry, but i cant due this pain.. Im really depressed now..
Any advise?

aimwade, I am on day 3 after my lypo, D and C and drilled my ovaries removed numerous cyts along with endometriosis.  I did leave the house today just to go eat and regretted it due to felt dizzy.  I have been unable to have a bowel movement which has now caused me to start getting a bulging hemroid.  So I am in the same boat as you hope you have a speedy recovery.

You're doctor is nuts to think it only takes three days to recover. Due to my job of stocking shelves my doctor wrote a note for work and I had three weeks off. If I was not doing physical labor my doctor would have still wanted me to take a 1-2 weeks off. It takes 3-4 days just to get the CO2 gas out of the system. I hope that you recover soon.
