Pain in the.........sleeve???

[kirstyd]

Hi everyone,

I'm now 8days post op and this morning I felt pretty good up no problem got kids ready and off to school. Came home had my protein shake just after 9!! And that was me till just after midday then I heated up my homemade lentil soup (nice n watery) but I only had 6 spoonfuls and got this terrible pain in my sleeve so I stopped didn't feel sick or anything else so that was fine.

So I took myself of for a lie down and the nurse called so I told her. And she suggested not drinking in the afternoon then try again. I did this and I'm still getting the same pain

And now I think I've strained myself trying to do to much 2day I've got a pain where I believe my sleeve is is this possible?

Any help advise would b fantastic ladies xxx

Hi
Your only 8 days out so everything is still very swollen inside. I over done it 10 days after my op and was laid up for 6 days solid, pain all around my tummy area which had me in tears. It all starts to settle down eventually so keep the fluids up but, if the pain becomes any worse get yourself up A+E.

I think the pain is coming from one of the incisions next to the drain. Think I've strained it x

Are your stitches still in. I had mine removed today because of 1 I was healed and the other reason was they were pulling and hurting around the wound area.Victoria x

I cant get an appointment till next wed! Did u have a drain in ur side? If so how's it looking? I just changed all my dressing all looking good the drain was nice and clean but it bit worried that it doesn't have a stitch or even a butterfly stick it's just left! Xx

Hi kirsty,

I wouldn't wait that long for an appointment an risk infection go to A&E if necassary and get them removed.

I'm only 6 days post op but have fast healing skin but also probably due to now being on a very good diet.

I had 2 drains one each side but these were removed when I left ICU 24 hours after op. The scars are healing very well. Victoria x

Hi. Do you not have a treatment room run by district nurses. Your practice nurse can take them out. X

Lentils are very fibrous - stomach has to work very hard to churn that up, even if it's watery. I'm five years on and still have problems with high fibre foods.
