I am 8 days post op and I am having some pain in my chest and port area. Has anyone had this happen in the beginning?

My port area is sore but no pain in chest. You possibly have gas did you try gas x?

I had gas really bad. Gas x works well.

Thanks ladies it was so uncomfortable I had to leave work. I am having the hardest day today with this. I can't even burp if I wanted to.

I am 9 days post op and definitely still having some chest pain but a lot of port pain. My surgeon said it is normal.

try some peppermint tea. It can be helpful with gas.

This is painful. I was fine until I put some folder away at work I did not think they were too heavy but I guess I over did it maybe

Also, a heating pad across the abs works wonders! I bring mine to work. Also, my surgeon has me alternating liquid tylenol and ibuprofen every 3 hours. It helps a lot too...I find that I start to feel really good, miss a couple doses and then realize that I have done far too much! Important to just keep things limited as much as possible.

They do sell adult liquid, but it seems to sell so fast! I have literally found it once and looked 3 or 4 times. Walmart definitely sells it. I hear that Walgreen's and Rite Aid have a generic liquid tylenol, that may be your best bet.

They do sell adult liquid. Hard to find sometimes. I am in fl and get mine from cvs.

CVS drug store sales a liquid tylenol for adults. 6.99 a bottle. (it is the CVS brand but same ingredients. I checked with my surgeon and the pharmacy. Hope this helps.

When I had to bring all my meds to the hospital during pre-admission testing, I was told that I am no longer Allowed to take Ibuprofen. I am wondering if every dr is different and maybe some vets would know for sure?? My dr clearly stated that only Tylenol was safe to take. Any opinions...

I was told no ibuprofen too.

I was also told only tylenol, as the others have things in them that could possibly cause erosion.
