Question:
Please Help!!

Tomorrow, I will be 2 months post op. I had my surgery on January 27. I seem to get pain under my left arm, under my chest plate and lower stomach area, which the last few days my upper left back is even hurting. I have been to my surgeon who gave me a cat scan and found nothing. Some people say it is gas, but at 31 I have never experienced gas this bad, how could it be. Also the Dr. gave me pain killers for the pain. I experience pain every day, all times of the day, has nothing to do with food. I could get the pain when I wake up or in the evening, or the afternoon, doesn't matter if I have ate or not. Just tired of living with the pain every day. If my cat scan showed nothing and the surgeon has no answers, could anyone here possibly know what it could be, that the Dr is missing???? Any suggestions would be great.    — MikeL (posted on March 26, 2006)

Mike: I have had this same type pain. Yours sounds just like mine. I went to the drugstore and got a good gas pill and it really helps. The main problem, I think, is when my bm's aren't regular and the gas builds up. I really don't think you've got anything to be concerned about. Just get you a good gas relief pill, your pharmacist can reccomend something. Good luck, Judy

have him to a scope. Its possible you have devloped an ulcer. best to rule that out. Did you get your gallbadder taken out? I would think that would show up on the test you had But Im not a doctor and dont know..if not maybe a test on the gallbadder.

Sounds like the same pain I had when I had gas. I had never experienced anything like that before and don't ever want to do it again. Until your BM's get regular, this is going to happen. Might want to get a good gas pill.
