my mom came home today from the hospital, shes doing okay, except for she has the reaccuring pain in the middle of her chest and it feels right adn then it goes away, does anyone know what this is or hav any suggestions to make it go away? thanks.:Bunny

So glad to hear your mom is doing good. I would think that the pain she is experiencing is gas pressure.A heating pad could help. Also get her to walk some. Walking helps get the air/gas moving on up and out.Also GasX is great. I think I used 2 boxes the first few days after surgery... it was a life saver!!!!

Yahoo for your mom!!!

Jamie is right - most likely gas. And walking is the best medicine. When she feel that pain (most of the time its in the shoulder) just have her get up and take a little walk. Gas X is also good and using a heating pad in the painful area helps as well.

Hope she has a wonderful recovery! Keep us posted on her progess! God bless.

I agree, those gas pains can be bad at first! Walking just did wonders for me, the more I moved around the better they got!

Congrats to your Mom.

I am feeling much better, except I can't stand the protein drinks,,,yucky!!!! The middle of my chest still hurts, but nothing compared to the first day

Glad to hear you are doing okay. Rest up, and as any banster will tell you, sip, sip and sip some more.
