Hi,
I have completed my colon surgery 6 weeks back. Thankfully biopsy reports came as very localised , stage 2 and they said I don't need Chemo or any treatments further as of now.
Last 2 days I have mild pain in upper abdomen right above the stitch ends . Initially I thought its gastric related but in a day I realised itz mostly when I do walking or moving and it's around the right abdomen muscles. So I believe itz muscular related..
It's not very severe though, pain is mild but pricking now and then when I move.
Has anyone experienced the muscular abdomen pain after surgery ? Should I be concerned about it ? Should I need to discuss with GP or my colorectal nurses on this ?
Regards
Hello BNotts
I am sorry to see that you have had surgery for your bowel cancer and I hope that your recovery is going well.
Regarding the pain that you feel is probably muscular I would advise you to get it checked by your GP or colorectal nurse. It could well be muscular as you say but since your surgery is fairly recent I think it is always a good idea to let someone know- if only for a bit of reassurance.

Good plan. I had some twingy like pains after my hysterectomy last year and it seemed to be where everything was still healing inside. When I had my post op check at my chemo consents appointment- I was told at least 12 weeks for the healing inside- although outside was fine.
