What causes lower abdominal pain on the surgical site?
Patient: I m a 59 yr old female that had hip replacement surgery 12 weeks ago. Just recently started working out at a gym. Treadmill & some weights. Was doing some leg lifts and felt a sharp pain in my lower abdomen on the surgical side. Could I have done anything to the implant area or just pulled a muscle? Doctor: Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. With such case in my clinic,I will reassure my patient,This is muscular stretch pain after hip surgeries,I also prefer doing X RAY for your hip and lessening your activity for one month.
