I am 5 weeks post op from an appendectomy. I took two weeks off from work and was cleared after that time to resume normal activity. I drive truck and deliver car batteries occasionally. My surgeon also cleared me to resume weight training after those two weeks just telling me to start slow. I felt great with no pain. After being back at work for two weeks and training, I started feeling a slight pain in my testicles and in my stomach. After this occurred I decided to cease weight training for at least another two weeks and ask for lifting assistance at my job. Since I slowed down the pain has decreased dramatically and isn't constant. I am taking ibuprofen when I get the ache. I have no lumps or hardness to suggest a hernia and also when I take it easy the pain is virtually gone. Are these things normal 5 weeks post op? Thankyou.
