annoying pain

No, but my surgeon did mention at my appointment a week after the surgery that the right side port usually caused more discomfort than the others. Unfortunately, he didn't elaborate. Hope they didn't forget anything in there! Just kidding!

mjr,

The right incision was initially the most painful with the knife like pains that you mention. I was told that this is the case because this is the port that they use to transport the instruments through and it gets pull and pushed more then the others. My pains lasted only about a day and now that side is no problem and it is my sixth day post op. It should get better in a day or two.

You know mjr - because your surgery was in April of this year and the pain has started now, I'd be checking with the doctor just to be on the safe side . . especially if it continues more than a week. Could just be a pulled muscle but better to check it out.

Take care!

Husband (Bob) had laproscopic prostate surgery on Sept 27, 2006 - 2/12 malignant biopsy samples - gleason 3 + 3 = 6.  Follow up PSA results and pathology results due Nov 14, 2006.

Hi mjr,

When you say just below the right side incision would you say lower groin area? Does the pain disappear when you lay down, and does it come back when you get up and walk for awhile? Is there any minor bulge in that area? Please let me know if these symptoms are true in your experience.

SCAR>>>OOOPS, where is my editor LOL!!!!!!

ohhhhhhhhhh nevermind (:

mjc,
Scar massage is a great way to reduce the affects of scarring. 2 years ago my hand was crushed. It took 4 surgeries at one time to repair the damage...all in the palm area of my hand. 50 stitches later and I looked like something Frankenstein sewed together from left over parts. Without extensive scar massage (and PT) I would not be able to use my hand dispite the surgery's success. I had a teriffic OT who taught me well. Today the once huge, lumpy, painful and stinging scars are reduced to something I can easily live with.
