Time To Check Out My Hospital's Er!

I'm dreading this as much as I hate the intensifying chest pain I've been having for 10 hours. Uuuugh. Just hope it's nothing major! Fingers crossed for the ever embarrassing "it's just gas" diagnosis.

Bleh.

Alright my second guess was right' date=' it's another costochondritis flare up. Without being able to take the NSAIDs I need, they're sending me home with Tramadol and I have to ice my sternum every hour. Uuuugh. Oh well, nothing I haven't dealt with before and at least it's not a leak!![/quote']

Im having a flare up right now also. Started yesterday and I'm just miserable. I already take 5 tramadol a day for other pain and its not helping. Hope you feel better soon!

I'm praying for you and so glad you did the right thing in going. Sending blessing your way. Keep your head up. You deserve the best care.

Sorry to read about your problems. I too have more than occasional flareups of chostoc..., and have wondered what I would be able to take for it since being sleeved. Does ice help you? Usually a nice heating pad strapped to my chest helps me out.

Feel better soon.

Hey Liz. I was going through a dramatic phase and haven't cooked. See my post I've been traumatized and reading your post freaked me out too. But thank god your ok. Thank god! I was so worried I checked your post like once every five minutes. Lol. My bf kept asking me why I'm on the phone am I talking to some one. Lol well here's what I made today. Which consists of Campbell's cream chicken and a can of lactade non fat, and as much seasoning as I could muster. Lol. Trying hard to feel normal again.

Just got back from CT scan. Took 6-7 sticks to start IV. Couldn't draw blood. Gave me Zofran and dilaudid. Just started me on fluids and Thiamin.

Hope all is ok! When were you sleeved? Sending you good vibes!

Oh man feel better!

I'll probably have to go back into surgery. Dr said its a leak and is calling my surgeon. I'm terrified.

Hope everything goes well for you... Will keep you in my prayers! Get well soon!

Will say a prayer for you :( Hope all goes well.
