Burning Pain In The Left Side Of Bellybutton With Numbness, Pain While Bending, Lying On Stomach. Had Bariatric Surgery. Detected Possible Nerve Entrapment. Help
I am 3 week post bariatric surgery and have had a burning pain just to the left of my bellybutton with associated numbness. I have been told this could be nerve entrapment. It has been ongoing for 3 weeks. What can I do to relieve these symptoms. It hurts to bend twist, lay on my stomach or my side due to the severity of the pain.

Hi friend ,
As you have done bariatric surgery to reduce wieght there can be chance of minor complication during and after surgery , In my opinion I advice you to have a talk with your surgeon and can get relived of symptoms.
Pain will persist even a month due to surgical procedure can be minimized by NSAIDS and Omeprazoles .
Wishing you a speedy recovery from burning pain.
