My g-tube feels like it is pushing into the back wall of my stomach.

Could it be that it is hitting the back of my stomach? Sometimes I don't feel it that much, but most of the time it is horrible. It is the only thing that I take pain killer for, and drainage comes out from the site. I haven't been having any trouble with the post-op diet nor vomited once. I'd like to walk some, but this thing sticking in my side stops me from doing much. I go for my 2 week post-op visit next Monday-will they take it out? If they don't I know I will have to have a refill on the pain killer. How long before I get addicted to the pain meds? I feel it is interferring with my recovery. I think I will break down in my doctor's office if they don't help me.
