Question:
I have pain in my right side

I have assumed up to this point that it was gas. It hurts to even breath sometimes. It is right near my ribcage. It happens about 4 days a week. I have tried taking Gas-X and Chewable Gas-X and nothing seems to help. IT is possible that it's not gas? I see my surgeon for my 6 month follow-up next month and I will ask him, but I thought I would mention it to you guys and see if you have any answers for me. Thanks    — Tami S.

Hello. I had the exact same pain for a while. I went to my surgeon and he sent me to my pcp. I got x-rays twice and was told it looked like my lung was partially collapsed. I starting using my breathing spiromenter again and it went away in about a week. I never went back to my pcp because he was on vacation but everything is fine now. I would call your doctor and see what he thinks. It could be many things. Good Luck!!
