They took me off my pain pump tpday after clearing the upper GI and I was doing real well till tonight when phlem got stuck in my throat and while coughing it feels like I blew my diaphram out and they had to call the doc and get my pains increased. I also had a real bad nurse today. Any ideas on the diaphram pain?

I had really bad pain going from my breast bone shooting directly into my back. It was so painful meds didn’t touch it. My doc can in and said it may be due to him nicking my pancreas, but it went away by the next morning.

What I did to stop my pain was to lay on my stomach (which was suggested by my nurse), and I walked around the hospital and try to relax. I hope they are giving you something for your pain. I wish you luck, I know how you feel, I’m just 5 weeks out so its fresh.

Thanks VSgirl. They ended up giving me more of the iv medicine til the next morning, I heard 2 possible things, an esphosigial spasm or a diaphram spasm. Either way it is gone and I am home!
