I took pain medication and it didn't do anything. Laying, walking, sitting, it's all really bad pain. It's frightening. Should I be in this much pain while on pain pills?

I had surgery 1/3 and I was in excruciating pain for 2-3 days. That's with pain meds! It gets better I promise. Just remember to get your pain meds every 4 hours, walk as much as possible and use something for the gas!

I'm sorry you're in pain. It gets better I promise!! I had a hard time the fist couple days, I actually found that I wasn't reacting well to the pain meds, all the Tylenol in the Percocets was tearing my stomach up.

Ask them to give you a muscle relaxer. That's what finally got my pain down to a three from an 8.

Are you still in the hospital? Heating pads work in soothing the pain. Ask your Dr. to make sure you can use it. Feel better. My prayers are with you. So sorry

I've been in too much pain to even pick up my phone and write.

I am out of the hospital and spent my first night home. There is constant bubbling in my chest, throat and stomach. My chest hurts and back hurts when I breathe. I'm sure it's gas but it feels Like Fluid or puenomia or something. My neck is completely sore from sleeping weird in the hospital I think. It just hurts so much. And it hurts to drink Water. Going to get those strips today. I'm scared.

Sorry you are in so much pain. Like everyone has said, it does get better. I am t day 3 post op and I can say the pain has tremendously reduced from yesterday to today. I also found that taking a sip of liquid and walking right after you swallow helps with the gas. Take your gas-x and your anti acids religiously they help a lot. Now I know the pain I am experiencing is from the incision not from gas. I know its uncomfortable to do anything but believe us when we say it gets a lot better.good luck wit your healing process.

Try adding a little cordial to your water- this helped me greatly as it softens it. Use heat pads on your shoulders and back to help with the gas pain and try walking as much as you can.

I'm still gurgling a little but have been taking some nice deep breaths which have been helping.

It will get better- hang in there.

Hi, hope ur feeling a little better by now. Recall massaging my back against a wall in hosp to get gas out of my shoulderblade. Im day 10 n no pain, little sore mostly from a push 2 poop. Know i shouldn't have but i was desperate. I didnt expect constipation, im more of a 4x day person. Get enough Water n Fiber in u also. Fiber is now a daily thing for me n praying i go back to normal soon. Hope your walking around, will help. Try Putting a throw pillow under ur belly at night for support to help u sleep, im a side sleeper n it helps.
