Pain/Discomfort?

About 2 weeks ago, I had a tiny twinge of pain, or more, discomfort rather than pain, on my left side, below my breast, toward the middle of my belly. It came and went, it was sporadic. Now I've noticed an increase in discomfort, more chronic; not at all debilitating, just there, enough to start getting me scared. Sometimes it's almost like a burning feeling in there. Can't quite describe it. I've read posts where my symptoms mimic a hernia (never imagined where a hernia would be, just assumed it would be near where my incision is); and other symptoms suggest pancreatitis; I diagnosed myself and thought can't be gall bladder, because gall bladder is on your right, right? I don't know; I"m just getting scared. I don't want to have to go back to the hospital! I'm going to call both my surgeon and pcp tomorrow morning; and hopefully they can see me and put my mind at ease. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I kept thinking, oh, i'm 8 months out, I'm in the clear..... everything was going so well....

Not sure what the pain could be at all. Wish I had some divine words but I do not. I hope that your surgeon or pcp will have some answers for you. Please let me know how you are feeling and what they say. Try maybe some Tylenol and see if that can at least take the edge off if it is really bad. BIG HUGS!!!! Melissa

Michelle, my gall bladder pain started in my upper back...who'd have thought? Good luck and keep us posted. Lisa

WOW sorry to hear you are suffering so much. Lets see on the left... kidney stones maybe? I know that I get a lot more gas now (added quite a bit more veggies into my diet) that shoots through the left side of me off and on. But other then that I have no clue. Keep us posted on what you find out ok!! *huggles* Felicia =0)

Michelle, I'm sorry to hear that you're having this rotten pain. I've had the occasional pain/pressure in my lower rt abdomen but notice it's when I eat to fast or don't chew enough. Don't borrow trouble, get up w/ your pcp or surgeon and see what it could be. Let us know what your dr/drs say. Donna, sfy

Sending gentle hugs your way Michelle!! I'm so sorry to hear about the pain you are having. Hopefully either your PCP or surgeon will have some answers for you. Please keep us posted on how you are doing. Susan
