Anyone got any suggestions for pain in the large incision due to coughing. I feel like I am being stabbed every time I cough. I have tried ice and using a pillow when I get these coughing spells. Please help?
I am 4 days post op. I too have severe pain coming from my big incision. I have been coughing a lot which only makes it worse. I have tried using ice and a pillow to try and ease the pain but that does not seem to help. So I am going to take the pain meds to see if it helps. Any one know of anything else?
