Pain in abdomen left side and useful life question

Postby Stupid » Wed Oct 04, 2023 4:12 am

I'm 9 months post op. Went to gym last week and have pain 4 inches down from bellybutton over to leg, thatis where it hurts. Left side. Anyone have pain there? Equipment area I know....also LGX 18 plus 4 installed. Happy. But wondering what is the expected life of this guy. Does it help to not overuse it? I don't want to go back and get put under. I'm old.

As we get older the 'what is it' options list gets longer and longer. Just an opinion: you could have stressed the muscle in the abdomen / groin, could have a hernia in place or developing, could have stretched the reservoir's / tubing's setting in the tissue - and so on.

Bottom line: if the pain / discomfort doesn't ease up in a few days see your Doc.
