PAIN!! Help!!

[Brianne79]

Last night I had SEVERE pain under my left breast. It was a sharp stabbing pain. The doctor seems to think it's gas.

I've been walking alot and it has calmed down (a bit)

I would love some tips about how to relieve this kind of pain and what I can do so that it never happens again!!

Oh... and what does BPing mean?? I've seen a few posts where that term was mentioned.

Thanks everyone!!

I had the same thing. It's most likely gas. Get some gasX strips, or some gas pills. Some people have gas pains as far as 2 weeks out from surgery. If it persists, and the gas pills don't work, see a doctor!

PB'ing (also known as productive burping) usually happens if you overeat, or get something stuck. You will feel a VERY uncomfortable feeling in your chest, much like a golf ball getting stuck, and then you will start producing a LOT of saliva. Then you will most likely throw up the contents in your pouch.

If I get something stuck, I usually walk a lot, and go to the bathroom, and SPIT a LOT, and I soon start to feel better. I haven't PB'ed yet, but have come VERY close.

I bumped up a previous discussion about this, so you can read more.
