so THATS what that is--update to my update :-)

So I posted in my bedrest mamas update that I had weird abdominal pain that the dr's & my nurses yesterday couldnt figure out...well I mentioned it again to my new night nurse and she asked if I had had any abdominal surgery ever--I had my appendix out the summer of 08'--then she mentioned that maybe it was scar tissue stretching and/or possibly tearing!

It all clicked--the pain is EXACTLY where my appendix pain was before my emergency appendectomy--now I just hope that its just stretching hasnt actually torn b/c I dont know how serious scar tissue tearing would be--but thought you all would be interested to know, Ive never heard or though of pregnancy affecting my old appendectomy site

Huh!  I had my gallbladder removed in '03.  Now, the area around my belly button, which is where they went in to take out my gallbladder, is often VERY sore and tender.  I wonder if it could be the same thing.........

 

Glad you got an answer and it's not something terrible

Yeah I bet it could be! My nurse said that she has had patients who have had other abdominal surgeries like lapband and stuff that is done laproscopically that have had issues w/ pain from stretching where they went in--for me its where my appendix used to be but it makes sense to have pain from stretching scar tissue

Don't you just love it when things start to make sense.... :-)

Hmmmm.... that makes sense, and probably explains the on-and-off pain in my lower right quadrant.  I had my appendix out, too.
