Pain midline right side upper and under ribs like being punched abd after colostomy surgery 8 weeks out? sire and tender surgery left side
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pretty normal: This is normal especially if you had a laparoscopic port site there, or if you had a retracting instrument placed underneath your ribs during the operation. If you develop nausea, vomiting, fevers or chills seek immediate medical attention.
