Laprascopic Ovarian Cystecomy and recovery

[nickster196]

Hi, I had a 8cm cyst removed from my ovary 9 days ago and the pain from the incisions has subsided but now my ovary has started to ache. Is this normal? Also i keep getting sharp pains in my shoulder blades, they pain can be one sided or together. Is this normal 10 days post surgery and lastly when can i start to exercise again.

Thanks

Sorry, my cyst (10 cm), ovary and tube were all removed. I had zings of pain in that area for about a year.

Thanks for the replies ;) did any of you ladies have pain in the ovary that the cyst was removed from.

The sharp pains may be related to the gas they pump in to inflate the abdomen so they can see what they're doing. I think my surgeon deflated my tummy pretty well because I had very little discomfort from the gas, just a dull ache for a day or two.

Even though the incisions are small, you had surgery.  Takes longer to heal internally than externally.  Its not even 2 weeks.  As the doctor when you can begin to resume normal acitivity.
