L am in server pain in lower back on left Side, as l move try to walk it is like a shooting pain, so bad l break out into a sweat. Is this normal , with the Heath issues l have. I can not go out or walk around in so much pain. I did ring doctor and told him I have pain in lower back, l thought l had kidney infection, as systems seem the same but test came back clear. He said l would get pain but since talking to doctor it has got worse where l can't move.
Hi Gaynor,
I had my operation just over 4 weeks ago,
I also suffered with severe pain on the left hand side. I was admitted back into hospital after 10 days with severe urine infection and a splintered coccyx . After a stay of 5 days I went home still in pain , catheter in and bleeding. On Monday I was admitted back into hospital by my gp with severe blood loss due to heavy bleeding and awful pain.
My surgeon came to speak to me after I was admitted to discuss all these problems.
The next morning I had a scan and a bleed above the wound site was found and it is forming pools of blood in my rectum and above my bladder.
I stayed in hospital until yesterday and the bleed is slowly improving, but because of so much blood loss I am now anaemic. I have to go back to see the surgeon on Monday morning to discuss a further plan of treatment which hopefully rules out further surgery.
Gaynor if you are still in a lot of pain contact the ward which you stayed on to have your operation and they will help you, and should put you in contact with your surgeon or one of his team.
Don't suffer in silence as that is what I did and it can cause more harm than good.
Take care and hope this helps x
Thank you for your information ,but l have not had an operation yet. L was tested for infection and it came back clear . I have taken strong pain killers called tramecet, but still in really bad pain I can not sleep laying here every little movement hurts in that one spot,as it is sunday l don't know what to do L know l could not walk into the hospital even if my daughter drove.did you have pain like this before operation..the way l am know if I am not having operation for months, it means l would be in bed all that time
Hi Gaynor, Not sure what surgery if any, you have had so don't really how we can help. I haven't seen any other postings of yours so not sure what exactly has been wrong previously. Could you perhaps let us have a little more background information. LadyPink
