Hello Libby

I'm not sure if you have visited us here on the board before so firstly I will say welcome

We are here to help answer questions, like the one you have posed today, as well as "listen" while you vent, we offer support, love & understanding of your pain, and how that affects every part of your life

You have had a lot of surgery in the lower abdominal area, so it will take a little time to settle.  One of the most important things you can do for yourself, is keep your Doctor informed....if the pain is troubling you as it obviously is....then I think it is worth ringing him & telling him what is happening.  Unless we keep our doctors informed........they can't give us their best care

I am concerned that the pain is traveling down your leg, and I hope you are taking it easy & not over doing things.  Keep in touch, and let us know how you are getting on, especially after you ring your doctor and explain the pain you are experiencing.

Love & warm gentle hugs,

Jo (Australia)
