Hi everyone,

[SEckett]

It will be 3 weeks tomorrow since my debulking surgery. Today I am in a little pain. Is this normal after having debulking surgery.

I can say that it has happened to me, too. There was a steady progress than all of sudden a slip and for a few days. I took some of the prescribed pain killers and the pain was sorted.

Although I had put a target of 6-8 weeks after surgery before I start to worry about any symptoms, one cannot help it and wonders about what's going on. If in doubt, have a chat with your nurse.

It’s so normal. Your body has been through the mill and the healing has started to take place, that will be painful sometimes. Take all the painkillers you need for now…. It will pass

Totally normal. I still gets tweaks 4 years later. Scar tissue will always be there.
