Hai.splenectomy is a major surgery, very painful post operativelyif ur passing flatuscit is s good sign.this sharp radiatinh pain is more common with this surgery, due to the large incision and rich nerve supply being disrupted.u can go for pain management with opiods, like pentazocine (fortwin), fentanyl, pethidine.fentayl patch under monitored care is a v3ry goo option, not only to reduce pain but even for good sedation and relaxation.pain usually persists upto 3 weeks, werin u can continue with tramadol and paracetamol combination. Wising u a speedy recovery.
