A member asked:

My appendix got removed saturday and in the last the last 2 days have gotten a huge bruise from my belly button down to my pelvis and it hurts ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Exam needed: This extensive ecchymosis and associated postoperative pain is of concern and I feel that the operating surgeon will want to evaluate you for possible infection and/or excessive bleeding.
