Hi everyone:

I had surgery 11-6 and overall I am feeling good. My problem is that I can't sit for more than 10-20 minutes and I get a cramp that starts around my port area and moves left along my left side part-way around my back. I do well standing and walking but I have to sit at my desk for my work and can't get up every 10 minutes. Is this something anyone else has had? Any ideas, I am really going crazy and can't take pain meds at work (other than OTC stuff).

Thanks so much for ideas, experiences.

I would call the doctor. I nor my DH have had this.

I wonder if that's similar to the shoulder pain a lot of people have. Some theories on the shoulder pain is a nerve is getting rubbed, some theories are trapped gas. But definitely phone the doctor for sure.

Thanks ladies! I called the dr nurse and she moved my appt to Friday. Her best guess is constipation (but I've had that and I know that kind of pain, this is very different). But I am going to be a good patient and do the laxative she recommended so we can "clinically" eliminate that. Meanwhile, I have told my boss I'm taking Davocet at work and not to ask me any life-altering questions until this is resolved...hahaha. Thanks again.
