please help!

my surgery was august 2nd, i know pain on the left side is normal, but i have this awful, unbearable burning feeling that goes from my belly button to my left hip. i have all i can do to go to the bathroom by the time i get back to my chair im in tears because the burning is so awful. is this normal?

NO!  Go to the ER at the hospital you had surgery.  ASAP.

That is not normal. 

Agreed, go to the ER....... Pls be careful.

 I had a similar pain occur when I was about two weeks out.  It was an intense burning/piercing feeling.  The doctor told me that it was the internal stitches and the pain would go away....It did about a week later.  

I didn't have the pain at first, but once it occurred it terrified me!

My suggestion would be to call your surgeon and let them know. I did not experience anything like what you are describing.

omg...I was just getting ready to ask the same question.  My surgery was also August 2 and have the same burning sensation on my left side.  I called my doctor and they said it was normal and will go away.  The  pain is unbearable and hurts to stand u and hurts to lay down.  My only relief is sleeping in the recliner so I am slouched down to sleep-.  I really hoe it goes away soon.

On the dcale of 1 to 10, ten being the worst pain ever!!! How would u rate it? I am thinking just go in and get checked out!

thanks for all the advice. im glad im not the only one with this pain. i do have my follow up appoimtmemt today at 1:30. i will let u know how i make out.

I had my surgery on 7/22/11 after week 1 had the very same feeling and called the Dr who told me it was internal sutures.  Week 2 I was ok moving around more, Week 3 same pain - it took 4 days to calm down.  I'm now into week 4 and the pain is slowly subsiding. Still hurts to get out of bed.  I was terrified too and called my Drs office several times. Because I was not throwing up and was not running a fever they still are saying it is suture pain.  I see my surgeon next Monday so he can determine when I can go back to work.  Currently I have a hard time getting into the passanger side of the car and experience pain.

Good luck to you and I hope your pain diminishes.
