    Thank you so much for the input – the pain is not at the incision but in the general area – really just achy pain like a toothache which of course makes my mind run to the worse. Shari – Tomorrow I actually get to go to Vegas for work until mid next week – would next weekend work? thinking maybe some sunshine will help – ha …. again thank you all for the advice I think next week if still persisting I will call my doctor rather than wait for mid May.

    Val….I agree with the others. I would insist on clarification regarding your pain. If you have to you might want to request a scan scheduled for this month rather than May. Also, I would ask for a prescription pain pill. I sure hope for you and Shari to meet up soon. You will experience an instant connection.
    All my best wishes,
    Marion

    Hi Val,
    Is your pain in your incision area? I don’t think it is normal either. I’m sorry we haven’t been able to have coffee life has been kinda crazy. I am around this coming saturday. Let me know if it works for you.

    Hi Val,

    Sorry to hear that you are experiencing this pain right now. I have to agree with Jim here that you should get this looked at by your doctor as soon as possible. When was the last time that you spoke with your doctor and what did he/she say about your pain issues? I hope that you can get to the bottom of this, and please let us know how you get on.

    My best wishes to you,

    Gavin

    Val, if you haven’t already, bring these issues up with your doctor. Pain is not normal following surgery, especially 5 months out. I don’t know enough to suggest any solutions, but there must be ways of dealing with the pain and discomfort.

    Hello – I have been post Op for 5 months now. They removed a tumor that sat on top of the two main blood vessels – removing 50% of my liver and cutting it in half. I was very fortunate and did not need any chemo etc… I go back again in May for MRI. I am really struggling with still being in pain and don’t undertand why. Is this common? I do have 2 bulging discs in my back with some arthritis but prior to my surgery it did not bother me daily like this. They say not to take Ibuprofen, aspirin or Tylenol with liver issues so whats left? Looking for some suggestions – Thanks much! Val
