Sharp pains

Every now and then I will get a sharp pain in my upper abdomen. Anyone else had this and if so did you find out what it was. It doesn't happen when eating for drinking. It woke me up last night doing it.

When was your surgery? I had gas pains like that in the hospital and for a few days after coming home. They only lasted a few seconds each, but were super annoying and slightly scary.

Errrrrr. How far out are you? I had this and it was gallbladder stones.

I had surgery on 04/13. In 4 weeks out today. This doesn't feel like gas.


Could be your diaphragm spasming. That happened to me for the first month post-op. Thought it was my stomach, but turned out it wasn't.

I'm 4 weeks today. I don't have a gallbladder. Had it removed in 2010. This doesn't feel like that either. It's sharp pains that come in waves and lasted 5 to 10 minutes. I can't wait to feel normal again and not freak over every twinge I get.

I am guessing then gas pain. Have you talked to your surgeon?

I had pain like this- my gallbladder and an ulcer. Took awhile to heal the ulcer. But only your doctor can tell you.

Yup, that was exactly what I had.

No I haven't called her. It hasn't done it since I've been up today.
