Appendicitis recovery after surgery
Common Questions and Answers about Appendicitis recovery after surgery
appendicitis
In my experience, the swelling went down after about 2 weeks. But it was even better after a bout a month. I'm glad you had your surgery and that everything went well! About working out, it's usually between 6 to 8 weeks that they tell you to wait, but talk to your doctor about it. Every case is a bit different with recovery time and your doctor needs to approve it. Good luck!
I am in my 19th week and got diagnosed with appendicitis 2 days ago. Did some labs and the results show I have inflammation going on. Am scheduled for an appendectomy and was told not to worry because precautions would be taken not hurt the baby. I was also informed that they would do some procedure to calm the baby down the night before the surgery. I am yet to know what kind of procedure it is they are talking about. My og/gyn is working with the surgeon on my case.
It was early stage appendicitis. The next day after surgery I was feeling expected pain where the incisions were. I took Norco painkiller. After a couple of days I noticed high heart rate when lying down, couple of times it grew so uncomfortable that I had to walk around a bit to feel comfortable.
This has been now going on for almost 5 days and I feel almost perfect during the day, but when laying down at night and sometimes even getting up in the morning, it is disturbing.
Prescribed painkiller and BC as preventative against future cysts and said that most patients recover 5-7 days after rupture. Today makes 8 days after onset of severe pain which is when we believe the rupture occured. My daughter's abdomen has barely receded in size and she is now experiencing SEVERE lower back pain which is not touched by Vicoden-Ibuprofen combo. She is miserable and doesn't fit in any of her clothers because of her expanded abdomen.
First off, I'm so sorry this is so long but the details are important. Labor day weekend I left work early with a tummy ache and dizziness. I had some diarrhea and just couldn't shake the dizziness so I went to bed. Woke up the following morning feeling less dizzy but nauseous and still had diarrhea. By Sunday I felt ok, a little light headed but ok otherwise. Thought it was just a stomach bug. Then Mon I started having lower right quadrant pain. It hurt to sit and felt dizzy.
I had chronic appendicitis 2 years ago. They did a normal surgery on me (not laproscopic) and after the surgery I get pains from the scarred area upto my right upper thigh area and the right side of my groin. It's a shooting pain which feels like I'm being pricked with needles.
I've been to many doctors, they doon't seem to be able to actually diagnose precisely what the problem is.
What can be done to cure it?

I am an otherwise healthy 39-year old male I would say, a bit of a hypochondriac, hence this post …Back in 2004 I had surgery for appendicitis and after my surgery the strangest thing happened….The center-outer part of my left thigh started burning.

Hello and welcome to the forum. We're sorry you are having this situation after your surgery. Please know that swelling and bloating can last for several weeks after surgery. It's more common with open surgery but can result during laparoscopic surgery as well. Here's an older post here at medhelp in which someone had bloating for 4 months after surgery. https://www.medhelp.
today morning at 5 i had swear pain i went to the doc, they asked me for blood test, urine test n ultrasound, urine test showed some sign of appendix but ultra sound didnt, they sent me home n gave some pain killers! now i am developing the same pain again after about 20 hours, so i want to ask can it be appendicitis even if ultrasound doesnt show it?
Did the doctor give her parents a briefing after her surgery? Did they do a frozen section during her surgery to look for malignancy? The final pathology can take a week or more to be complete. Any complex ovarian cyst has a chance of being cancer. It is unlikely to be a malignancy, given her age. Her parents should ask the doctor any questions or concerns. Usually, conceiving is not a problem with one ovary.
They told me if the didnt operate baby and i wouldnt survive another week and if they did operate there would be a small chance we could lose the baby. But within 9hrs i had surgery and babys heartrate dropped but we are both fine now. Im in alot of pain but doing fine. I didnt think my mothers day would end like this but im judt happy that baby and i are alive.
I had laparoscopic surgery 2 months ago to remove my appendicitis. Now I have a bloated belly after I eat. Right side of my belly hurts, too. No diarrhea, no vomiting, a little constipated even though I drink lots of water and coffee. Went back to my surgeon and had an ultrasound 2 weeks ago plus a blood test to see if there's an abscess. Fortunately, everything was normal. But the pain and bloating are still there. Thank you in advance for your help.
Omgosh! A few years ago i had appendicitis and had to have surgery however i was very early in my pregnancy. I was so scared but my baby girl was born healthy and fine. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your baby tomorrow.
Thank you. I recovered so quick with my first two so this is new to me but they weren't c-section. Did you have the pain on the right side as well..what is that?
4 months yikrs! Its hard with other kids and the worst is bending and walking up the stairs. She gave me some vicodin but only a few left and motrin does nothing. What worked for you?
m surprised your doctor just gave you drugs for an appendicitis-- true appendicitis almost always needs surgery. Have you had your appendix looked at since then? Ask for an ultrasound or a colonoscopy. In some really rare cases, an infected appendix can lead to infection elsewhere in your abdomen/pelvis, including muscles outside your digestive tract (which might explain the pain when running).
Hey just had Acute appendicitis and had to have emergency surgery to remove appendix. Now I had a lump under my skin just above my elbow that is below my skin. it seems as though it is attached to my vein or just by the muscle. It does not hurt but I am worried sick it could be something serious.
Most people with appendicitis have severe pain worse than what we usually get with IBS. Although, as you must know by now, you can get severe enough pain from IBS to even keep you from being able to walk. You can get IBS pain anywhere in the abdomen, and the left side where the descending colon is, is typically the most common area of pain. I have had the pain in the area you are talking about. Two things can be going on that are more likely, if the doctor is sure it's not the appendix.
While in the ER they took a ultrasound and found out that I had appendicitis. I was in surgery later that night. I was doing very well after surgery and was able to get back to skating within a week. I started going back to ballet classes a couple of days ago and since then have been feeling really nauseous. I went back for a post OP today and they said that everything looked fine and that I should be able to go back to any physical activity that I wanted to.
