Question:
Left side cramping pain.
I woke up with left side cramping pain. Just under my ribs. Like the cramp you get from running a long time. Could it be gas? I just hate to jump up and run to the Dr. everytime I have a pain. Anyone have any suggestions? Lesleigh in Ga. — lesleigh07 (posted on May 30, 2008)

Hi Dear Friend--- sorry to hear this, however, I too get the same pain you
are discribing :( and it hurts. I find mine to start after exercising, and
even walking.. I have not had gas with it. I think you will be ok. are you
doing anything different? maybe more than what you should be? I wish I had
the answer for this, only can tell you, I experiance it too. I find if I
just sit still, it will eventually go away.......hope you get better.
can't have such a Special Lady in Pain :(

I have had this pain occasionally, usually after a serious exercise and/or
sit up session the night before. If I get up and stretch and take a hot
shower and a couple of tylenol, it usually goes away.
If yours does not, call the doc of course.
Good luck,

I got the same thing the other day. It lasted for about 2 days, and now it
seems to be gone. That is weird. I had Lapband 9 days ago, and I see you
had RNY - wonder what it could be. I woke up with mine too and it had
nothing to do with exercise, but if I coughed or took in a deep breath, it
really hurt.

Well for once I have the answer!!! I spent 12 hours in the emergency room
about a month ago!!! I had the band 12/20/7. They say you are still
healing. The emerg room couldnt figure out what it was. It didnt feel like
the port cause it was off to the side like you say. I had gardened the day
before so the dr told me it was from bending and bending! The port was
really sore when I touched it. They wouldnt give me a fill :(. They had me
take tylenol and put ice on for 2 weeks. It does feel better. My pain was
so bad, I was worried. If you have any other questions about this, email
me. It seemed crazy to me, but my dr asked immediately if I was gardening.
Go figure! Linda

My pain feels like someone is gripping and twisting my insides then
releasing and fading... Only to do it again for about 5 minutes. Ladies
laxatives are what I am taking, only after going to the ER and to my Dr. to
find out what was wrong. Neither the Dr. nor the ER could find a problem. I
took two of the laxatives and so far the pain is lessening every day! I
hope this helps someone. P.S. a heating pad feels great and relieves alot
of the pain for a while.
