I had liver resection nine weeks ago , and had stabbing pains on my right side, mainly where the drain had been taken out. Luckily the pain subsided.

I had a conversation with the post care team, and mentioned that my stitches felt tight. They suggested rubbing Vaseline on the wound. I had no Vaseline, so used a little hand cream and massaged it along the wound site. An hour later, I had severe stabbing pains on my right wound site, and for a week now have severe pain whe I cough , when I sit up in bed etc. The pain is 10/10. I am waiting for comment from my specialist nurse.
