Sorry to hear you are in pain.

The only person who can find out why you are in pain is your Dr.

If in the UK you can still arrange a phone call with your GP.

It must be very worrying for you so please get it checked out.

Every country has a different health care system. Have you any community support system in your area that may be able to assist you?

In the meantime I would rest if you can.

Let us know how you are getting on.

Just been reading about the health situation in your country and I can see your difficulties.

Hopefully your pain is nothing serious and it will go away.

This virus is disrupting everyone's life at the moment. Good luck.

Can you please call the doctor and let them know about the pain from your surgery?

The pain is not on my surgery but its on above of my belly button. My incissions looks good in outside. So im wondering if this pain is associated with my surgery or not.

Confusing.

Are you able to contact the department who performed the surgery for some advice. Or try speaking to someone on the hospital ward who discharged you. I think considering the surgery was quite recent, you would need some advice. 😊😊

Oh that's great, I'm glad you got the help and advise you needed, now you know what it is, I hope it all settles down for you. xx

Hi Juvyjuvy, I can only echo what others have said. Only a medically qualified person can help you with this, but as a pointer, I'd say that it's not the norm to be in that much pain, with or without appendectomy, and I think I'd get it checked out soonest! Take care and hope you feel better soon.
