2. When you are recovering from spleen surgery
A spleen surgery is necessary to repair a raptured spleen especially following a physical injury. Sometimes the spleen gets overworked in its role of filtering impurities from the blood and wading off infections that its ability to function optimally gets compromised. In such instances a surgery might be necessary to remove clots and other unwanted materials from the organ. It is normal to experience pain while recovering from a spleen injury. A recovering patient is likely to feel sore and a little bruised after the procedure.
A recovering patient should feel normal soon after the operation. The pain also fades in due time. Like many other surgical procedures, a spleen surgery poses a small risk of complications that include bleeding and contracting infections. Feeling pain after surgery is not a big medical concern; the doctors already know this and will prescribe you some pain relieving medications.
