It started this morning. It feels like a stabbing pain right around my diaphragm. It's hurts really badly for a few seconds, then subsides then returns and does it again. It's doesn't burn but feels like a stabbing pain. Ouch help please! Anyone have the same issue?

How far out are you? How often is it occurring? It could be nerve regeneration. Is there an incision nearby?

A month from yesterday. There's no incision near by its all internal. It's drivin me crazy and it hasn't really let up all day

Thank you for responding btw. It hurts both when I drink and when not so I haven't been able to trigger it to one or the other. It stinks because I haven't been able to eat or had enough to drink today because of it

Hmmm. Let's see what others think. I had something sort of similar. It was just left of my diaphragm, kind of just a nagging ache that came and went. Lasted only a week or so, and I chalked it up to "normal" healing and possible scar tissue formation. Are you having any issues breathing?

Not trouble breathing but it's hurts a little when I breath in deep. I've caught myself a few times hollering because it hurts so much. And I hate complaining! Lol. I've actually had a pretty good recovery so it's making me nervous

I have not had surgery yet, so I prob shouldnt be responding, but I have read tons of post of this forum. Ive seen where some have experienced this pain off and on and it's been related to the hernia repair? did you have a hiatal hernia that they fixed?

Of course the best coarse of action is to always check with your doctor about the pains. Only he can tell to the best degree what the pain could be.

The funny thing is that they thought I had a hiatal hernia but turns out I didn't lol. I'm thinking of calling in a little bit. Thank for your help!

Good luck with the doctor.. I hope it's nothing serious. Best of luck.

Called my md and the on call said its probably an ulcer. Damn painful ulcer!! Lol. They got me on carafate, a nasty drink for the ulcer. Let's hope it heals quick!! Thanks for all of your help guys!!
