Pain around scar after appendicitis operation Posted: 05-14-07 02:45am
I had my appendicitis operation in
January, and was doing well. My doctor
indicated that I can start horse riding 2
months, after the surgey. I had no
problems when I started riding, however
for the past week my cut has been hurting,
sometimes right through the night, whether
or not I exercise during the day. I have
stopped riding for a few days, but the
pain is consistant... is this normal in
any way? The pain comes at different times
of the day, irrespective of what I have or
is doing.
Any pain around the scar location 3 months
after surgery seems abnormal.... but
you'll need a physical examination in
order for a doctor to speculate about the
possible reason or cause of the pain. The
most important thing is to distinguish if
the pain is due to some type of
complication from the operation or if has
no connection with the previous operation.
You can consult the surgeon who removed
your appendix, or your primary care
physician for more details.
