Hi All, 

I had my appendix removed on the 2nd May 2018 via Keyhole surgery, I was discharged on the 3rd after eating, going to the toilet and being able to walk around. While I initially felt my recovery was going well, but now going into my 6th week I am experiencing pain in my left side around the first incision hole and the pain shoots around the front of my belly this has been the case for the past 2-3 weeks.

I can only describe this pain as something inside being torn or stretched, this happens when I move, such as turning or sitting down for getting up. also discomfort is felt when walking or going upstairs (putting weight on left leg). 

I don't know if I've damaged myself during recovery with maybe lifting something too heavy or lifting myself out the bath.

Has anyone else experienced this or know what it might be? 

Thanks Rob.
