Something isn't Right

Started feeling lower left abdominal pain (nothing big just a little) on Friday). Saturday my friend who had seen me last week and this week told me my stomach looked really swollen.

 

Yesterday I saw friends I haven't seen since the surgery and they said the same thing.

 

And the pain is getting worse. Thank goodness I have a doctor's appointment this afternoon! I think its gas, but even Gas-X isn't getting rid of it. I was thinking maybe its muscles on the elliptical? But that wouldn't cause that much bloat/swelling?

 

Well, we'll figure it out. Looking forward to the nutritional class and the appointment (and maybe a support group meeting afterwards).

 

I'm glad I'm not back to work this week. After driving two hours to the party, sitting for a couple hours, I'm exhausted.

    Hi Sandra, I've been having the same pain that you said for a while but it goes for a while and come back later, sometimes when I workout is worse but is not there every time, by the way my stomach is not swollen.

    I dont really know what could be and even the doc doesnt know, He keeps telling me that is because Im working out too much witch is wrong, sometimes I dont even workout and feel the pain, really strange let me know what they'll tell you please.

    Sorry my English is not my main language.

    Good Luck and take care, Keep in touch ok.

    Thank you for your post, your English is fine! My pain is gone but the swelling is not. When I talked to the doc Monday he said it will go away in time be patient, so that is what I'll do. Pain? When I had pain I put an abdominal band around and it helped a lot. I got mine at the hospital, but I got a smaller one at the local pharmacy. Good luck!
