2 1/2 Weeks out slight pain on Left side >>>
Is it near the incisions, or actually on your side? I had that and here's what my doctor explained: They cut your abdominal muscles, and your back/side muscle has to pick up some of the slack. Mine weren't very strong and I had muscle spasms.
Warning: I let this go on to long, and ended up with some pain in the abdominal muscle near the big incision which was more scary (though still ended up being nothing but muscle pain). I have taken muscle relaxers and it resolved the problem.
If yours worsens or doesn't get better with Extra Strength Tylenol, contact your doctor.
