A new ache..since I sneezed twice last night..its like a brick on my sternum..what the hell happened ..im very concerned

How long ago did you have surgery or when was your last fill?

Surgery was last tuesday the 23rd

I was going to guess you were newly banded. Your stitches are still healing so you are just sore. No worries. No different than when you first had surgery and coughing, breathing, or going to the bathroom may have been painful... You should be fine.

The crazy part is I was fine for days now I sneeze and that didnt hurt but then soon after it is like I got punched in the sternum and did 1,000 situps!! Could the sneezes have released gas into my chest cavity?? Im ten days out and this is killer. I cant even lie down.

It could have. If you have pain meds go for it and some gasx.

I stopped taking the tylenol 3 after 2nd day. I just broke it out...I cant wait til this passes..first..no second time in tears. First time was emotional pain..Please God help me get some relief!

many people say a heating pad helps too, I would suggest that if you have one... I hope it passes soon

How are you doing today?

playing doctor could have very bad results new dawn. I would recommend discontinuing this approach, and tell them to talk with their doctor or on call physician asap! JMO. Sandy

i agree new dawn

well band, i am not sure if you had a hernia repair also (i did) and it hurt to breath or move and etc,,,,,it was uncomfortable to say the least i would take some more tylenol and as new dawn says, use a heat pad if that helps (i mean it is gonna take some time) as you are still swollen and healing. BUT, if it hurts so bad you are about at your wits end, give

your dr a jingle and them know just in case.

hang in there GF

its not easy but it is worth it

I'm almost 3 wks post op and had hernia repair and even to this day, I can still feel it some. At night when I roll over I can really feel it. I sneeze a lot and at first it was no,no. As time goes on will get better.

They say 6 wks for full recovery.

If it does concern you, check with surgeon.

Thanks Ladies, last night I took gasx, and then to sleep I took the tylenol 3..got up n down alot to walk..deep breaths..it was awful but I felt better this morning. Its still there but not as bad..and still cant burp..hanging in there! And back to work tmrrw! Thanks for all your support!
