I am post op revision 12 days. I have felt wonderful and everything has been great so far. However I woke up with a sharp pain under my left breast in my ribs sort of when I take a breath. Its been hurting all day and I am getting worried. I may have over done it last week and maybe its a muscle. Has anyone else had this type of pain and if so what was it?

It could be gas. Have you been doing your incentive spirometer? Walking?

The other possibility is pulmonary embolus or pleuritis.

I wouldnt waste any time it could definately be a PE, pulmonary embolism, not a joke. please keep us posted hope your better soon

I was sleeved May 14 and i was so heavily affected by the drugs i could not get out of bed to walk til day two. I told the nurses it hurt to breathe. They just told me to keep using the thingee. Well, after being discharged Thurs. afternoon, I went to the emergency room at midnight (different hosp.) and they took a chest exray. DOUBLE PNEUMONIA. So please play it safe and check with your doc.

Could be a pulmonary embolism -- call your doctor immediately or go straight to the er

FAST
