Back Pain

I am having pain in upper left side of back and lower left. a deep breath causes a sharp pain in lower part. Any suggestions? Marla

Hey Marla, I had that kind of pain when I was having gall bladder problems. I hope that is not it. Call your doctor and have them check it out. Hope you feel better soon. Christine

Marla, That does sound like Gallbladder, but I thought Dr. Murr removed that when he does surgery? Take Care call the doctor and ask, can't hurt. IMP gail

Marla, You should call your nurse and ask her if that is common. I had my gallbladder removed during surgery, but I had back pain too so it may not be gallbladder problems. I thought it was maybe related to my lungs and the aenesthia (sp?) or possibly from the hospital bed's cross bars. I really noticed it when I took a deep breath or coughed. It passed after about a week or two. I thought I had read about that type of pain on the main board as being common so I didnt worry about it, but then again I tend to ride things out anyway. My girlfriend had surgery last week and she is complaining her back hurts her now too. Hang in there. Let us know what they say

I spoke with Jose at Dr Murr's office. He said it is from gass that was pumped in, would go away in time. Take tyanol extra strength. My gallbladder was taken out years ago, so that was ruled out. Marla

Today Jose told me that I can expect to have some horrible pains in my upper left side after surgery. He laughed and said that it will go away and not to go to the ER because it will be a waste of my time. So, you are living proof that it does indeed happen! I hope it goes away soon! Just walk around and try to get that gas moving.

i hope it goes soon. i did sleep better last night. extra strength tylrnol before bed. marls

Wow. I hope your feeling better soon. I had an operation back in 98 to remove ovarian cysts (yay me.....) and had that gas pumped into me. They didn't get a lot of it out so I spent three days crying in a chair and screaming in pain T_T But at least your aint bad. I dread having that done again but ehh arthuritus tyneol is super strong so ^^
