Have burning, pulling sensation after appendectomy. Why is the pain throbbing? Cause?
Patient: I am having burning, pulling, pain sensation after appendectomy a week ago. The pain is constantly throbbing and increases when I cough , laugh, bend over, sit up, or move a certain direction. I have no idea what is causing this . I contacted the doctor on call and he said it was nothing to worry about if i pulled a stitch or muscle. Doctor: Hi Dear thanks for question,you have under gone appendectomy,and now your having post operative pain,you have not mentioned in the history when your appendectomy was done,as if your in early postoperative period then infection can give rise to throbbing pain ,other cause  could be damage to small nerve twig that lie in the incision line.or if your in immediate postoperative period, then it can be pain of surgery itself.i hope i answered your question
