I Have Acute Pain In My Lower Left Side Of

Posted on Wed, 12 Jun 2019

Question: I have acute pain in my lower left side of my abdomen. Approximately 2” from the lower left of my umbilicals. I take Bently for it but it doesn’t help. I had a total hysterectomy in 2013,I had this pain before the surgery but now it’s worse than ever. I also had hernia surgery from the top of my umbilicutis they had to put in a 5” mesh but this isn’t near the pain I have now but it has gotten worse since the surgery.
