PAIN UNDER LEFT RIBCAGE @ NIGHT!?

 I woke up with the same exact pain this morning and it still hasn't gone away.  It's really sharp and especially bad when trying to take a deep breath!

Thank you all for your suggestions, although I would hardly join a failed band group after an episode without giving it a little time to be resolved! I did as the Dietitian and Technician instructed. I drank some Milk of Magnesia and had some hot tea and the problem is resolved thank God!!! I guess they were right!

I had the sharp pain when I would breathe in as well. I found that I need to keep track of when I use the bathroom b/c apparently I was backed up (excuse the tmi!). I hope my experience and the ability to "fix" it will help you all who are having the same pain.

This is quite the journey with plenty of trial and error to get things right. I'm glad my surgeons office has so many competent people willing to help right away whenever an issue arises. I feel so fortunate to also have this board, I know I will get helpful advice when I have a concern to post! Thanks again!!
