It’s been 8 days since my gallbladder surgery and I have a lot of pain in the upper incision area (just right of the bottom of my breastbone), the pain is not the incision itself, but inside where the muscles are.
I have a call into my doctor’s office, but in the meantime, did anyone else who has had the surgery experience this pain? It’s an internal burning type pain that the pain killers don’t do much to help with. It hurts worse when I stand or walk and the lack of using those muscles is making my hips hurt.
If you’ve had this pain, please tell me when it gets better? I’ve been resting lots, but it’s been 8 days already and I have things to get done!
