Lap appendectomy 3 days ago. still cannot get out or in bed by herself because of abdominal pain. is this normal? cough/laugh causes excruciating pain
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should not: Be that painful at this time. I would most definitely discuss with your surgeon and have him/her examine you and see fi you have had a complication such as an abscess, which needs to be treated.
