Weird pain started today... not sure if this is surgry related.



Recommended Posts

oops... *surgery related

So today I am up and about and I notice a small pain under my left arm, on my chest/breast area. It hurts when I reach forward and bend over a bit. Like WHOA hurt... a sharp shooting/burning pain and if I held it in with my right hand it doesnt hurt. When I sit down, nothing ... its when I reach out with my left hand and bend over just a bit. There is nothing on the surface of the skin, it's under the skin (possibly muscular) and I am not sure if this has anything to do with my surgery. I am 11 days post op.

Just just happened suddenly today. Any idea's?

The only thing I can think of surgery related is perhaps an internal stitch is pulling. I would say when in doubt, call your surgeon. Even off hours they usually have a service of some kind. Be well.

At 11 days Post op, I would call the on call line and ask if it is an issue. Pain can manifest in a different place than the actual problem. Just to be safe, I would call. Hopefully it is nothing.

Endless: sounds like a pulled muscle, but be safe and call

KRM: I'd definitely call right away if it were me

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
