Hi, i had my op in january this year and had to go back to work after just 2 weeks i had a standing job and it was hell, but 8 weeks after and your still sore is normal everyone has a different healing process, the only things you need to be concerned about (this is what i was told as i had same concerns) is if the bruising doesnt go down around your tummy or if it is discolouring. i hope you feel better soon, if your sitll concerned push the doctors and let them know, its hard enough getting them to diagnose in the first place. take care.
Hi Cori, Thankyou for answering I've been quite lucky with brusing nothing to bad when you say discolouring what do you mean ?? i haven't noticed any discoloration but sometimes notice around my belly button sometimes goes whitish if I've been walking to long ? It's horrible as the GPs seem to fob me off I've been stitched internally too I'm so frustrated and I really thought is be better by 8weeks but I'm still in a lot of discomfort and absoluteley tired
I Will give it another few days and if its still this bad i Will push the doctors next week
