A member asked:
I had my appendix removed 9 days ago. my bruising continues to grow and is quite painful. now extending from hip to hip and still growing. normal?

Not normal.: it is not unusual to have some bruising after surgery, but it should not be increasing in size 9 days out from your surgery. Usually the pain would be decreasing by this time also. You should call your surgeon right away to be evaluated. Good luck.
