2 days post hysterectomy: Gas pain... wow!
Had LAVH on Monday and didn't even need any pain meds in the hospital, but holy moly the next day the gas pain was brutal! Stabbing pains in my rib age and shoulders. I'm taking simethicone and walking as much as possible but wow was that unpleasant. Hurt to breathe! Now the stabbing is done but everywhere there was gas pain is now sore.
My belly pain is minimal. Right now I am super concerned about going #2 at some point. Doc put me on magnesium oxide and a stool softener.

Re: 2 days post hysterectomy: Gas pain... wow!
Day two for me too ;-). No major gas pains but I tried to sleep as upright s possible and walked a bit. Same meds as you but still nothing in the #2 department. Little nervous about it too. I just keep faith that "it'll all work out". Good luck and I hope you feel better soon.

Re: 2 days post hysterectomy: Gas pain... wow!
Had mine Monday too, so day #3 here.
The gas pains were/are the worst! Like crazy bad.
I haven't had bowel movement yet either, and like you - a little nervous about it.
Feel better ladies.

Re: 2 days post hysterectomy: Gas pain... wow!
Hang in there ladies, the pain subsides! I too experienced the same thing on day 2 of my recovery. The pain was felt in my ribs and shoulder and hurt to breath. The pain lingered for a few days but NOTHING like before. I am now on day 9 of my recovery and any gas that I have, I can expel so no pain is experienced.
I started having bowel movements day 3 of my recovery. Wasn't too bad. The only discomfort I experienced is what I assume was the waste going through my colon. I did not push, just let it come out on its own. I was in the bathroom for a while! I have since then had daily bowel movements. I still take my stool softeners however my diet is getting more fiberous so may not need it
Here's to pain free days to come!

My surgery was Monday too and the gas was horrible. Had bm and was terrified because I didn't want any help cleaning up from nurses so it took awhile. Just can't wait for my stomach to go down from the gas.

Re: 2 days post hysterectomy: Gas pain... wow!
The gas pain is pretty much gone. I'm sore from the bloat, but now I'm getting that sort of burning/full feeling down low that tells me the pipes are backed up. I've been taking stool softeners since yesterday, but no laxative yet. Doc had me add magnesium oxide to help, but I suppose if there is no "movement" by tomorrow I may have to go tougher. Laxative? Fleet?? Prune juice (the thought of which makes me want to vomit).
I guess I can call the doctor's office and ask what to do.

Hello sisters gas pains are pretty much gone but still no "movement" & feeling some discomfort in lower back and I guess my internal sutures. Hubby gave me an Exlax as the Miralax sent home hasn't kicked in. I stopped taking the narcotic pain med and trying just alternating between ibu and acetaminophen. Perhaps that will help get things started I can't help but laugh as I haven't been last this concerned with BMs since we brought out bulldog puppy home last year and we're housetraining him. Good luck to all and hope everyone feels better soon.

Re: 2 days post hysterectomy: Gas pain... wow!
Day 1 for me and yes lord the gas pain is horrendous. Keep feeling a popping sensation in my belly too like gas bubbles are moving. Right shoulder hurts the worse tho. We all seem to be on this gassy road to recovery together

Re: 2 days post hysterectomy: Gas pain... wow!
I am probably going to resort to a laxative today.

Had my surgery Tuesday and the gas pains are terrible. I have tried moving around as much as possible and drinking peppermint tea to help as well. I had him today and that didn't seem to help ease the pain any. I'm just hoping it's gets better every day.
