post De-bulking Pain?

[coop1969]

Good morning!

I had my debulking surgery three weeks ago and it included my appendix. I have not taken any pain medication since week 1. I am feeling fine. Up and functioning - looking like a slightly slower version of myself but likely nobody would even suspect anything.

But! I am still tender throughout my pelvis and abdomen. And I get some discomfort - especially on and off on my right side (where the mass and my appendix were). Did you guys have this type of thing? None of this gets bad enough for even a Tylenol to be needed but I am wondering about these types of lingering vague pains.

Insights?

Thanks.

Hi Coop1969

Those pains you describe are completely normal and will go on to some degree for a while. You have been through a major op and it’s still very early days! I hope you continue to recover as well as you have been xx Jen
