Called my doctor today about the sharp stabbing pain in my side when I breath. He said its def not normal and to go to the hospital. Now I'm freaking out. Pray for me please!

Please let us know how you are. I hope all is well.

Hi everyone. I had made a new thread but I'm okay. They thought I had a blood clot in my lung, but they didn't see anything. I go back to see my surgeon tomorrow. Thanks for your support guys!

I'm 3 weeks post banding and had a terrible pain in my left side with a deep breath, cough, sneeze, hick-up, you get the idea. When I saw the aprn for my post op she said to call in a week if I still had the pain. Well, I called last Friday, and boy did things happen fast! stat CAT scan, blood work, and the long and the short of it is that they don't know what is causing it but the DO know what isn't- and that is almost as good. they think it is just some weird post op pain, but no clot, slippage, inflamation, etc. Medicine is not all knowing, but I like knowing that the 'bad' things have all been ruled out. It sounds like you're in the same boat.

That sounds excactly like what happened. I called and I was told to get to the hospital ASAP. Still don't know what's wrong but like you said they know what it isn't so I guess that's good. They were freakin me out!!! Hope you feel better!
