Is anyone having problems sleeping?`

By Butterfly10

Last night I couldnt sleep at all due to severe pain deep within my chest and surgical wound area. I am 12 days post-op and this is the very first time I have had this kind of pain. The only thing that would releive it is if I sat upright. Any slight movement of my head or body to the right or left and it would shoot stabbing pains throughout my chest area. Burbing has also been a big issue and the pain that follows my burbing episodes are unbearable. I thought I did my homework prior to the surgery but I never once read anything like this. Can someone please tell me that these pains will eventually go away?

    They will go away. It is gas. I had mashed cauliflower with butter and cheese about 2 weeks after surgery and I thought I was going to die from the pain. I tried Gas-X, walking, drinking water, even rolling around on my stomach on the floor and nothing. I had to take a Percocet.

    Thank you SO much for sharing your story. Love the Percocet relief! Might need to get my mom to give me one of hers - lol!!

    Your story makes me feel like I am not alone in all this. My hubby is so supportive but really can't do anything for the pain I am in. Took a look at some of you photos. You look GREAT! Funny but we look a lot alike! I dont have my pictures posted yet. Trying to get that done this week.

    Thanks again for the reply.

    Take care!
