Current medical status: My friend is 4.5 weeks pos-op hysterectomy (50 years old).
Current medical treatment: vicodin 500 mg PRN, Aleve 400 mg PRN for pain
The lack of fever and edema at the incision site is not enough to exclude other possible complications from surgery. A bleeding deep in the abdominal cavity at the very place the surgery was performed might cause intense pain. It might even turn into acute abdomen. Inflammation in the pelvis should also be considered.
A check-up at a gynecologist is advised as soon as possible.
