Pain under lower right rib cage?
Hi all!
I have been having a sharp little pain under my right lower rib cage and it seems to also go along with a pulling kind of pain on the inside of my hipbone area. I haven't eaten anything but applesauce, cheese, and milk for the last 3 days so I cannot imagine it is anything diet related? I am 2 weeks post-op and things have gone really well after the first few days. My surgery is so recent, I am wondering if it is just related to all the stuff that went on inside my gut, or if I should call it in tomorrow?
Anybody have something similar?
Thanks a bunch! Belle
I had something smilar at about the same time. Does it hurt to take a deep breath?
I had sat at the computer to long and was favoring my left side because it was still tender. I was leaning to the right. It seams by leaning to the right I wasn't breathing deep enough and collapsed my lung. A few days of deep breathing in my spirometer took care of it. It had me scared at first and I had to make a trip to the er to find out what it was. Keep an eye on it. If it gets worse call the Dr or go to ER.
I had not thought about gas! You know, it was worse when I breathed deep, but I also thought about the gall bladder issue since they did not remove mine. Either way it was gone when I woke up (which makes me think gas! lol!) I think I will keep using my spirometer for a few more days, just in case, then call the doc if it comes back.
Thanks for your replies!
