Feel like my ribs are broken..any one else have this?
I am 23 days out and I have a terrible pain under my right rib cage:( I have felt really blah..(that is the only way to describe it!) lately and have also had some pain in my right hip and around my back. It is the rib pain that bothers me the most. Anyone else have anything similar to this? I know they aren't exactly "gentle" during surgery, but I would think at 23 days I shouldn't be feeling the aches and pains of it anymore. p.s. NO fever, vomiting, nausea, or pain in my stomach area during or after eating.
Did you have a hiatal hernia repair by chance? That took me a long time to recover from, whereas the stomach healing portion was a breeze. I could feel it just inhaling/exhaling. When I tried to do the elliptical early out (cleared by the doc) it aggravated it something fierce, as did very cold weather. I don't recall the hip issue though...

I agree with Ruggie that you should reach out to your doctor. You are right that at 23 days post op, pains under your ribcage should not be expected. It could be any number of things, including your gallbladder.
