question: Hi, had appendix removed laproscopically a week ago & although I expect to be in pain, the incision on my left side is absolutely bringing me to tears. I have a small bruise there. Even a regimine of Tylenol every two hrs then Percocet every two hrs will assist me in doing taks related to this area. I called the on-call-nurse last night and she said something about chockers & tubes used during surgery and that this could be a blood clot that my body needs to absorb. Is this something to just work through, or to perhaps have the ER investigate?
