Hello. I'm sorry you are having so much trouble, but I agree with the others. Don't be afraid to take the pain meds. That's what they are for. Another thing: I think you mentioned that the incision is in your stomach? If it is, remember to support your stomach with a pillow when you are coughing, and since you said that the incision is swollen and bruised, have the doctors look at it if they haven't already, especially if you are having a lot of drainage or redness, and obviously, if you feel that the incision might have come apart. You probably know all of this already, but it never hurts to reinforce it. Good luck! I hope you start feeling better soon!
