Kinda a weird question; don't know if it is gas or something else.

I started my liquid diet on 03/12/13; I have been having major pain in my left and right sides feels like it is under my rib change. Did anyone else have this problem? Does anything help? I was told a heating pad, but I work full time, so I can only use a heating pad at home. Please let me know if anyone has had this problem. I also read that is my be my liver shrinking. I don't have a gallbladder so I know it is not that. I also had a full hysterectomy about 3 years ago, I am wondering if something may be shrinking and pulling tissue.

Thanks!

Could be constipation or gas.

Thanks Musharooni! That is what I was thinking! I will run to the store on lunch and get some Gas X or something.

Thanks for responding!

I was told it could be related to simple reaching. If you are feeling good and moving better simple things like reaching across the counter for a pen or up high for a cup or down low for your pocketbook can cause it. Gas blows, if that it what is. Wish that would just end for us!! Hope you feel better soon!!!

I was telling a lady in my office about it; the only person that really knows about my surgery; and she is an older lady. She gave me a heat patch; I have one on each side and I am completely amazed at how much it has eased off; so I am thinking that it is gas; cause I have read how much a heating pad helps. They are a little expensive; I paid 7.49 at CVS for 3 but well worth the money. She said she paid a $1.00 at Wal-Mart for hers. The good thing is they last 8 hours! Might want to try them capeciw!

Oh good idea! I forget about those Patches. To the OP, those patches are awesome! Hopefully it goes away with the gas strips but if not i would try one of those patches while you're at work!
