Question:

I had a Laproscopic Cholcesectomy (sp? They took my gallbladder out) About a week ago, and I'm still feeling pain. Every time I inhale deeply In my chest there is a pain, also, the insisions are hurting. they're rather small though. Is this normal?

Answers:
A friend of mine had this around 6 months ago. He is doing much better but still has phantom gallbladder pain. IT is weird. But initially, the pain was horrible and he could not walk too good or breathe. He took a lot of meds for pain during this time so he could do away with some of the pain. His incisions hurt really bad as well. Its probably normal what you feel for this type of surgery. If it is not bearable see your surgeon asap.

that happend to my mom... after a while the pain went away

you have undergone a surgery that's why you can still feel the pain. But wait for like 3 weeks perhaps, if the pain still persist, call your doctor, he might left his scissors inside, lol. Kidding aside.

you betcha. i had two cesarean sections (the last one almost 14 years ago) and THAT still hurts once in a while. seriously, it takes time. i busted a rib falling off my horse about two months ago and it was easily 4 weeks before I could laugh, sneeze, cough or breathe without grabbing my side. good luck; be patient and get as much rest as you can. you'll heal just fine.

You shouldn't be asking us. GO TO A DOCTOR. Duh.
