Pain on left side

[Jacqui1]

Hi there!!

I am 7 days post-op and am having a lot of pain on my left side today. I have had horrible gas pains, that nothing seems to relieve, but today is the first day I have actually had a lot of pain. Do you think I could have done something to the port? I have been really careful, and have only had liquids, added a protein shake today.

Please let me know if anyone else has experienced this, and what to do.

Thanks!!

i think that is fairly normal- it might help you to email or call the OCC just to really rest your mind at ease....it is a little weird that its just starting to hurt badly almost a week after surgery...but maybe take some aleve??? and see how the pain is after that!

Girl I'm feeling your pain-

Is it constant? Mine is not constant. I am 6 days post op and your right the gas pains are super intense. I havent lost a pound, however I have lost my mind with the pain in my sholder... ouch #-o .

I am only sympathizing with you and can tell you I live on Gas - X strips. I hope you are ok.
