Hey everyone. I'm 12 days post op and still having some discomfort...enough to still need pain meds. Are there any suggestions on pain management or anything? When does the pain completely go away?

I'm really sorry to hear this. I really had almost no pain in my incisions. The only pain I had was my shoulder and back from the air in my diaghram. I know my doctor told me that the more I walked, the less pain I would have though. Try walking, try some tylenol or ibuprofen. If all else fails, call your doctor's office. Maybe there's some small issue they can help you resolve.

I've had little to no pain since the day of surgery. i have dull pain when twisting from side to side.

I was in pain like you. I am amazed when others have little or no pain. I was on pain killer for 2 weeks. Then switched to Tylenol liquid for about 2 weeks. Hang in there it will get better like they all say!

Only the largest incision point really bothered me. It hurt to lay in that side. Not excrutiating but sore like a bad bruise. What was worse was the stomach spasms. Whenever i would swallow, i would get what felt like gas rising up in my stomach then jt would sit in my chest and burn for 10 - 30 seconds, then go away. This started the day after my operation and lasted about two weeks.

I am now two months out and the worse i get it a little twinge around my largest incision scar. I would say i was feeling little to no pain around my third week.

Im so sorry youre having so much pain...have you told your doctor? Im 22 days out am feeling great, but I never had any pain really in my incisions...mine was all shoulder and gas pain that resolved before I was released from the hospital. I think it would be a good idea to talk to your doctor....better safe than sorry

Thx everyone. Awold, I'm glad to know I'm nit tge only one. I know it gets better, but I'm going back to work on the 10th...cant be doped up at work...lol. I contacted my MD & have an appt tomorrow. My largest incision is hard as a rock & just causing too much discomfort.
