Pain questions, 2 days post op right now
Ok just got home yesterday from lavh on Monday. My pain is still pretty bad, i am taking percocet every four hours. Two at a time and ibu.
But what I am wondering about is when I breath in my ribs are soar, and even in the back. Does any one else have this? I think maybe it is from the gases they fill in us? Cuz the go home sheet says to call in case of chest pain, its not chest pain but rib pain and I am pretty sure this happened a few days post my lapo as well.
I am pretty out of it cuz of all of this meds too. Pain does not seem to be getting better and I did better sleeping on the rocking chair.
Anny one else having a lot of heart burn?

Re: Pain questions, 2 days post op right now
Sorry to hear about your pain! During my pre-op visit, my doc and I talked about gas pains and suggested that I lay down flat on my back with my feet up to help dislodge the trapped gas.
Hope you are doing better!

Re: Pain questions, 2 days post op right now
So is that what it sounds like to you? Gas pains? I have been using gas x and I took some laxatives cuz I got so constipated it hurt and I had been taking stool softeneres, so today I have had diahrea. but better than stuck. I just was a bit concerned about my ribs hurting.
I can't lay flat on back, I have really bad post nasal drip and can hardly breath like that.

Re: Pain questions, 2 days post op right now
I had the gas pains too, mine were in my rib area and up in my collarbone and almost up into my neck/jaw. Take slow, deep breaths seemed to help some, but I think it just takes time to dissipate. It was gone within about 72 hours exactly - which is what the doctor told me! They say walking around helps too. I think the intestinal gas is different from the surgery gas, so I don't understand how gas-x works on that, but I took it anyway for the intestinal gas!
