Upper abdomen pain?
on 6/4/19 11:09 am - Amarillo, TX
last night I had a little episode where right at the place my rib cage meets and radiating down the middle left of my abdomen I had spasms that hurt and made it hurt to take a deep breath. I thought maybe I drank to much?
Well its done it three times today and I've been on point with fluids. Makes me feel panicky.
is it gas pains? If I didn't have anxiety issues I wouldn't prob ask lol

I would suggest calling your surgeon's office and seeing if you can speak to a nurse. That's what they're there for!

well I did and she sent me to the ER. A cat scan, morphine shot later I am home. The pain got real bad so I agreed to go.
everything is fine...have more bruises and a dislike of morphine lol

I'm glad you were proactive-especially so since you are so early out...
Should a similar event happen again, some moist heat, and change of position (get up and down, walk a little), may be enough to release the spasm/gas, if that's what the problem is...
Usually, there is rarely a need to "panic", but unresolved PAIN, is always a reason for CONCERN. Do be sure to follow up, with your doctor's office, today, and let them know about the ER visit. Communication is key!!! (Old nurse, here)
