OHHHH MY ACHIN' BACK

Ok, now I am on my 5th day post-op. My stomach is doing great but my mid-back is SO painful. I have been taking the liquid Tylenol - any other suggestioins? I am tolerating my food and I have been sipping fluids more! Thanks everyone - Debbie

Debbie Hug to you.....and hope that your feeling 100 % SOON ! I am sure the pain you are having is gas pain. The gases they fill you with for lap ( assuming thats what you had done) have to release from your body. It settles in a spot and moves through out your body....alot of ppl have that same pain in there arm or chest......or It can also be from all the resting, specially if your not used to normally laying around.Give it another day or so !! It shuld be better SOONNNN. I would keep with the pain reliver, and if it doesnt get better call the Dr, thats what hes paid alllll that $$$$ for !! Hang In There and SIPPPPP ur fluids !! Love to ya Brenny

Actually, Dr. Oh only does OPEN surgeries so I don't think it is gas. But I will trust that it will get better soon. I've already gone thru a whole bottle of extra strength liquid tylenol. Thanks! Debbie

Debbie, Yes I had those as well hun, I used a heating pad to help with that and some mineral ice or tiger balm would work! I know mine was from laying in the bed a lot in the hospital. I hope you are feeling better soon hun, remember it gets better every day! ~Hugs~ Debra P 285/240.5/125??

Thanks - I think I just needed to hear that it will get BETTER EVERY DAY! Debbie

Hi Deb Sorry you are in pain.....and hope you feel better real soon......have you called your doctor to see what else you can take..... I'm sure it will ease up in a few day but sure know how hard it is to be living in pain and discomfort..... {{{{{{hugs}}}}}}} Christine 346/231/?
