Hi, I had a gastric sleeve done on may 13th. I did well with surgery but had a problem with pain upon standing or walking. The pain seemed to be muscle pain, but in the past two days has turned into a burning sensation almost like it s the skin. Any clue what it could be?
HI. The laparoscopic wounds although small are done through small incisions through the abdominal wall. When the trocar with cannula goes through the wall it can open up few blood vessels to cause an obscure hematoma which is not seen or felt due to obesity for which you are getting the surgery done, so it is missed and can cause the pain. Secondly this can be due to cut / partially cut nerves cause the similar pain which you described, the burning... one.
