Hello all, I am new here and have a few questions if anyone has any ideas please post.
April 12thI hadEmergency surgery, removal of the right ovary, it was twisted, died, not to be gross and rotted. Released April 14th home
April 14th ended up in ED due to my incisioin opening. Sutures and back home.
OK this is my questionsince the 14th I have extreme pressure and pain to my pubis and it is quite swollen (feels as if it could explode any moment). Pain to my left groin area and a sickening contracting feeling (like when the elastic of your underware cuts off blood supply), Knife like stabbing pain to my left flank area just above the hip when I walk or twist at all, also pain to inner left thigh that radiates to the knee. Numbness to left pubis and left inner thigh (I excpeted this). My incision line looks great.
Has anyone had this happen post op? Any advise or personal expereances would be great.
Thanks. Ditchmd
RE: could this be a nerve problem--post-op pain
I think I already replied to this one, but HP site crashed and it was lost.

RE: could this be a nerve problem--post-op pain
I would also advise that you see your GP.
I havea client who underwent surgery some time ago, when he came to me he had had hip problems for many months following his operation, but a number of remedial treatments using specific techniques, and with guidance from his doctor and physio he made excellent progress, his range of movement improved dramatically, and the pain has almost completely gone.
Have a good word to the doctor, check with them if they think a session of manual lymphatic drainage might be useful - or if they can refer you to a skilled physio or remedial massage therapist. In cases such as these you need to allow the body some time to heal before you can start to treat with massage in the localised areas, but the doctor should be able to advise youon this and give you any relevant exercises to reduce pain and strengthen the muscles and reduce scarring.
