The gas in your body after surgery

I feel like that is what is causing most (but not all) of my pain and it is awful!

I actually feel like there is MORE of it in there!!! I know I have to walk, and I do that a little. I am having a hard time with that because of my RA and the chest pain.

Is there anything else you have tried that has worked?

Anything??

It seemed to help the pain for a little while, but I feel it coming back. Hopefully it wont come back in full effect!

DO not drink or eat while sitting. I got a little routine going. At first, I needed a timer. I did a sip every ten minutes, and then sip-walk-burp. I paced in my apartment while clutching a pillow to my abdomen. Soon enough, the air began to move. Walking is the only thing that helped me. Hot Water beating down my back helped somewhat.
