belly button pain..is this normal? sorry its a little long
I am 19 days post op and having pain around my belly button on the left side. I came home from surgery on the 29th no problems doing great..had a first awesome 2 wks then on this past Saturday started having pain on my left side and ended up being admitted again to the hospital for the pain and underwent all kinds of test, they said I had a lot of "free gas" built up in my small intestine and a possible partial blockage. Well after the bowel rest and medications I came home yesterday. Well I started having this pinching pain on my left side right at my belly button last night...UGH! Its when I move or sit up and bend down...is this normal? I go back for a follow up next week and the pain isn't anything like Saturday. I think and hope its just from the healing process...any idea?
