Pain Under Left Breast

Hello to all.

I'm having pain under my left breast whenever I bend down. It's really painful. Also, the pain travels to my back on the left. Pain feels like something is ripping inside and its located on top of my major incision on the left. Called surgeon he ask if I had alcohol, aspirin, or anything that I'm not suppose to eat, thinking it might be an ulcer. I only chewed gum and had whole wheat toast. I am 8 weeks post op. Have appointment on Wednesday. Anyone had same pain. I am so worried. Thanks.

Do you have a fever? Is it warm or red? is it tender to touch? Did you have a drain there?

I'm one week post op and I am currently feeling the same thing...I think mine is from leftover gas and the incision. I wake up ok but at nite it gets worse. maybe your muscle hasn't healed yet? Also if you are having fever go see a doc and don't wait.

It can also be a form of dumping

I woke up several nights with similar pains.....my doctor thought it was muscle spasms....they stopped before I even took the meds he gave me for it....hope all goes well for you.

Everything is well. Just saw my surgeon, he said its just my muscles stretching and doing too much. I guess all the lifting of boxes from one storage unit to the other cause the pain. I'm happy that its nothing serious. Thanks to all for caring. Hugs.
