Bad Stomach Pains

Ok Im about 3 weeks post op. and ive been having these really bad pains in my stomach they feel like really bad gas pains. And i have had alot of pressure in my butt area and i get this pain like pressure is relasing in my stomach when i pee. Is this normal? Have any of you had this before? What can I do about it? Im calling my dr today to see what she has to say but they come on all of a sudden ill just be sitting there and i get this horiable pain and i have to close my eyes and breathe trough it all....ITs a pain in the butt. Ugh always something!!!

I think that it's good that you're going to call your dr about it.
Please let us know what you learn.

The gas pains were probably the worst thing for me after surgery. I can remember leaning over my kitchen counter almost crying in pain.

Id say Gas-x (I used the mint meltaways), and stool softeners are gonna be your best friends right now. Also walking is supposed to help.

I am at 7 weeks and still feel a weird pain when I empty my bladder. My Dr did explain that the bladder is traumatized or bruised in surgery.

There were some women who have had additional problems with their bowels or bladders after surgery, so I would suggest just listening to your own body and calling your Dr if you feel concerned.

So far, unfortunately it sounds pretty normal though.

Good luck & Happy Healing!

What you've described sounds very much like my experience, too. I'm at 9 weeks p.o. now and happy to report that this goes away with time. (It might be replaced with other stuff, but at least THAT will go away). I hope that you will be surprised by how quickly your body heals with each passing day!

Well i called my Dr. and she said that it does sound like gas and that i need to take some gas-x and if that dont work then to call her back. So i started taking it to nite hopfully it works!! Yea MMRL i have the same experience sometimes i double over in pain from it and tears come to my eyes but i guess all that comes with the healing process ill just have to tuff it out!! Thanks guys ill let you know how it goes!
