Chest Pain (Surgery Today)

Did anyone have chest pain when you breathe in? Mine hurts severely. I tried to lay in bed but it just made it feel worse.

That stinks. But yes. I had exactly that. Try a heating pad for comfort. Do you have pain mess?

Oops. Meds*.

Lol. Gotta love auto-correct.

I will try the heating pad. They gave me a prescription for liquid pain meds. Thanks

I had surgery yesterday and have the chest pain also. I think they said its from the air they inflate us with. It gets better. At least mine is. Its still there but better. Now i just mainly have the pain in my abdomen like ive been punched a million times.

Yes, that's gas pain from the air they pump into your abdomen during surgery. It can be rather painful. Some find a heating pad helps. Walking helps your body to reabsorb it faster.

Recliner and lots of pillows if you want to lay in bed. It feels better to be propped up.. An whenever you feel a lot if pressure get and and walk or even reposition yourself. That's helped me alot. I am 3 days out and last night I was finally able to sleep on my side with a body pillow.. Good luck and it does get better!! ... So I hear!!
