9 weeks post op and still having pain?

December 18, 2013
Asked By:desire25

I am now 9 weeks post with MR and have had uneventful recovery. I have however been somewhat annoyed by the pain/burning in the upper right side. I have this pain mostly every day and it comes as goes throughout the day.. It feels deep as I can't illicit the pain by touching the area. I do not know if it is muscular or nerve. It sometimes feels like there is a deep tightness in the area. There is no visible swelling , etc. I do not see my doctor again until mid January .
