HELP! Pain under L rib cage!

Hello everyone,

I am traveling with my family in our RV. I was laying down with my boys in the bed and I think the rocky road has done something inside me!! Under my left rib cage I have sharp shooting pains. We stopped to sleep last night after it happened. When I woke up this moring, the pain wasnt as bad, however it is still there.

I am soo afraid that I have ripped stitches inside. I didnt even think about it when I laid down in the bed. I think the roads must have been really rocky and it jarred me.

I have put a call in to my Dr. I left a message, they said the try to return each call by the next business day,:angry_smile:

Anyone experienced this???

I am able to keep my liquid down with no nausea, just sharp pains.

Thanks:sad:

You should still ask your doctor, but I just wanted to let you know my experience with it.

I get these sharp shooting pains under my left rib-cage sometimes.. and when I breathe in, it gets worse. Mine normally only last for 5 minutes at a time (if that).. and I figure it's like the tube of the band, hit up against a nerve inside somewhere.

Thanks so much for your reply. I hope that is all that it is. I am just afraid that I torn the stitches around my band.

I will be glad when the Dr. calls me back.

Thanks a bunch!!

Jennifer I was just wondering what the outcome of your pains was. Was it just gas or something more serious? Kathy

Hello kathy,

I think that I just jarred my insides a little while we were on our trip. I guess since I was still healing, all of the bouncing around in the RV made it hurt really bad. The pain went away after about a week and I havent had any since, thank goodness!!

I appreciate you checking in. Everything going okay with you?

Jennifer

I am glad you are alright now. I am doing well, had surgery last Wednesday and I feel pretty good now. Occasional neck pain and my stomach hurts if I bend over but other than that pretty good.
