Really bad pains in both lower sides



Recommended Posts

For the past two weeks I have had sever pains in both sides it comes and it goes but now it sticks around more than not. I went to the dr on Fri and had abdominal and pelvic ultrasounds done and came back normal. Has anyone had anything like this and from them probing around doing the ultrasound I am in extreme pain my question could this be gas pains and for that long? Dr. gave me tylenol with codeine and it does nothing for the pains. I am very gassy and belching alot. I tried gasx and phazyme tablets and it really doesn't seem to be doing much. Also I am not constipated that I know of I go everyday. Please any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have a pain that comes and goes in my left side. For a few days, it was in my right side too, then it was back to just the left. It feels like gas or a cramp that won't go away sometimes. My Doc said maybe scar tissue. I have not tried codeine for it to know if it would help, but I do know that the two types of pains that the opiates (morphine, codeine, etc.) will not help with are gas and blood restriction (like a bandage too tight). Maybe it's gas if the codeine won't help?

Thanks for the response, would know of anything that will help to see if its gas. I have tried gasx and phazyme and it just seems to let gas out but doesn't help with the pain at all it is just constant.

To the best of my knowledge, the anti-gas meds only work to remove gas from your intestines. The only was I know of to remove gas from your body it exercise. Does not have to be hard exercise, even leisure walking around.

I haven't been to they gym in a week because of the pain and when I exercise it stops me and I end up leaving. Oh well I guess it just has to pass hopefully on its own.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
