Why do I have strong dull achy pain across the whole abdomen?
Patient: I just hit week 4 post op from my LAVH. I have been having a lot of pain in my right side, sharp and stabbing. Today my 3 year old kicked me in my belly, it hurt so bad that it made me throw up and light headed, now I have sharper pain in my right side and a strong dull achy pain across the whole abdomen. What do I do? Doctor: Hi. A kick by a 3 year old in a recovery phase of LAVH needs medical attention immediately. Stop oral intake. I wold advise you to be seen by a Doctor on an urgent basis , who on general and local abdominal examination would advise you to go for an Ultrasonography examination.
