Question:
Alot of pain on my left side

when I sneeze or turn. It hurts bad. Does anyone know why?This pain started last week, my 6th week post op, and seemed to get better (like a dull burning) and then I sneezed and oh the pain. Now it is so bad I dont know what to do! I called my doctor office twice and they still have not called back. It is to the left side about two or three inches under my breast. What would be causing this and what do I do?    — amuseall (posted on October 18, 2002)

Your pain is sounds like the same thing I had!! It hurt like the dickens and finally I went to the Dr. He explained it was the nerve that is around the stomach that is inflamed. It went away after a couple of weeks of torture and it really help ease the pain not to wear a bra especially the kind with underwire. I hope this helps. But it really went away after several horrible weeks.

I'm having almost the same thing!! My doctor said it was either a nerve (which I doubt) or the muscle (which makes more sense). I'm ok as long as I don't move!! It should go away soon...so he said....
