HELP! Pain under L rib cage!



Recommended Posts

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.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
