Hmmmmm, five days huh..... And thats all you've noticed ?? Relax....probably just gas. Or could be a "full" trigger. Or you bod just letting you know it's pissed off you did all that trama to it...... You're gonna notice alot of different noises, aches, various pains etc. for awhile as you heal and adjust. Unless it persists or gets worse, just give it time and it will probably pass.

Good call. Try to relax and not worry too much. It's always advised to contact your doc when you need definitive answers. The fist few days always works on the nerves a little. Here's hoping it's nothing to be concerned about.

Please call your doctor's office. If it's nothing, they'll let you know that. If it's something, they'll tell you what to do about it. Follow-up care and advice is part of the service they provide. Good luck!

My surgeon said that the pain under you shoulder blade is the gas. He said it feels horrid and you cannot massage it out.

For this you must walk it out. I have a feeling you just moved a certain way and some of the operation gas. moved too.

Good to check with your doctor, but walk walk walk to see if it subsides.

So after all the trips to er and all the stick to my feelings. I ended up discovering a leak.....now I have to be fed via tube directly to body so my stomach leak can repair. Its so small that can't go back in and find it.
