Just gas pain?????

I had my uterus removed through bikini cut on the 7th of Feb. Left everything else. My question is I would occasionally get some gas pains after surgery but nothing that was terrible. However, the past week they seem to come on more freguent and more intense. Whatever I am doing I have to stop dead in my tracks and just squeeze something. They last for a couple of seconds and almost like I can feel it moving through the intestines and then stops. Sometimes they end up resulting in a BM soon after. However, this morning, I got out of bed and went to get dressed and had one come on that nearly knocked me down. I immediately went into the bathroom and sat down and as each pain came on (and I felt it move down) I screamed out in pain and almost fell over. I was literally sitting sideways on toilet (sorry, for TMI) and had balancing off clothes basket. The thing that really worries me is once they passed I was lightheaded and felt as though I may have passed out if they had not stopped.

Has anyone experienced anything like this? Is it gas pains that would cause this? I know that everything is so close together in there that it is hard to tell but I do not want to have the fear of passing out from this.
Thanks for listening

right now there is no 'just' about gas pains. I am carefull to eat things that don't cause me gas for just that reason. For me, they hurt more when they are moving 'down' when they are moving 'out', but neither is pleasant!

I keep meaningto buy gasx and keep forgetting to. I've been told that will help.

Hi Soooconfused,

My gas pains were pretty severe, causing more pain for me than my incision did.

If they are causing you to pass out though, it may be wise to call your Dr. Let him/her decide if you need further attention or not. It will also relieve your worry so you can just focus on healing.

S,

Pain as severe as what you are describing needs to be reported to your doctor. Please call this morning. I hope you can get some answers and that you feel better soon.

it might be wise for you to go back to the doc. this is similar to what i felt before i was told i had a hematoma that was pressing on everything. not to scare you, just to inform you. i have absolutely no idea what's going on with you. it is just always good to have them ck it out. this sounds surprisingly strong, and that may not be "normal" for this far out, especially since it is new to you... peace!

I have been to the drs twice for checks up. One at 1 week due to fever and then this past Tuesday for 4 week check up. Both ended up with full exam and pressing on incision and abdomen. I would hope think that I would of felt some type of pain from this. I forgot to mention it though because it had only happened a couple of times prior, and like I said, I figured it was related to BM's.
