sudden pain 6 weeks after adrenalectomy

[Guest guest]

Just wondering if any post-adrenalectomy folks here have had a sudden pain in

the surgical area develop *after* the pain from the surgery was already long

gone? And if so, why would this happen so long after the area has healed?

Woke up with it Saturday morning and it seems to only be getting worse - it's a

constant dull pain that becomes an incredibly sharp pain when I bend forward.

I'm seeing my primary care doc first thing tomorrow morning. Can't see the

surgeon until Friday at the earliest. And I hope to avoid the ER entirely - no

fever, no signs of swelling or anything really alarming. Just a bit of

discomfort.

My theory is that I pulled a muscle while driving on the freeway over the

weekend - it was my first weekend of lots of driving since the surgery...
